I know it's hard, don't let 'em take from us
I wonder what they see when they envision us
Tell me how we free if they conditioned us
You gotta stay down so you get lifted up
You gotta stay down, don't take from us
I wonder what they see when they envision us
Tell me how we free if they conditioned us
You gotta stay down so you get lifted up
You gotta stay down
I'm tryna save the world, but I need someone to come save me
See, I made a promise to make it up out of, but this what it made me
I'm trapped in a system that won't let me live, it's drivin' me crazy
In 2020, my people are hangin' and Brenda got babies
I've been a victim to all my surroundings
Body is lifted, but feel like I'm grounded
Head above water, but feel like I'm drownin'
Look to the sky, my mind feelin' clouded
Black in a world where they label me violent
A cop kill a nigga, then everything silent (Shh, black)
We don't wanna talk about it
But we got some bigger problems
What happened to him, they shot him
Ten o'clock news, we watchin'
And every day we pray, pray, pray, pray
Somebody should explain, 'splain, 'splain, 'splain
Tell me who the fuck gon' survive in America
The KKK, ayy, wait
But still we got a dream and it's
Been a process, man, I feel exhausted
Want a house on the hill, make me a promise
Be the voice of the people that feel lost in
The land of the free, but ain't got options
All eyes on me 'cause they still watchin' (They still
Watchin', they still watchin', they still watchin')
I know it's hard, don't let 'em take from us
I wonder what they see when they envision us
Tell me how we free if they conditioned us
You gotta stay down so you get lifted up
You gotta stay down, don't take from us
I wonder what they see when they envision us
Tell me how we free if they conditioned us
You gotta stay down so you get lifted up (Yo, yo, oh, man)
You gotta stay down (Woah)
Let me borrow your view as a favor
'Cause I look at my city, you know it get faded
'Cause all of the beauty done tapered
