Текст пісні
It's all ashes to ashes, like Ring Around the Rosie
Throwin' money at the cause not thinkin' bout the proceeds
Droppin' in the pockets of the monsters held responsible
The thoughts of the monopolized is ain't nobody know me
Or, oh geez, how am I supposed to eat
When groceries are at an all time high, and all a nigga know is beef
I hope to be the voice of reason
Choices Steven make could lead them boys to freedom, please don't let the noise get even
Louder when it's bumpin' that hate rhetoric
Fake sentiments, get ingrained in the brain and then make memories
Swear that half these niggas rappin', been cappin' but they get up in
The morning, and ignore the mental trap they set us in
What's the meaning to life? If you ask me man it's all a lesson
False interpretations lead you in the wrong direction
Backtrack and the past back in the wrong direction
But time stops for no man, wish it would pause a second
Wish I had time to breathe
Been giving all of my time to everyone around me, wish I had some time for me
Spending time on this and that wishin' that time was free
Hoping I have time to live before it's time to leave
I'mma live the rest of this, life with a smile
Cause I got to get the best of it, 'fore it gets to me
My heart is stoppin' in the end and it's
Up to me whether I'm an optimist or pessimist
But it's hard to be optimistic there's a lot to live with
Stray bullets droppin' kids and then the cops is twisted
Everyone wanna be heard, but no one stops to listen
Love our mamas but the collective mind's misogynistic
Y'all got to listen, look
