Living off of pain. Just say a prayer every night, then hopefully tomorrow, you'll manage to wake up sane.
And when you do wake up, you'll have a better focus on your goal.

Starting with yours first.
624Please respect copyright.PENANAqkpeUC5rKi
See it's the worst when you feel cursed on this scorched earth.
Struggling to stand firm on a shaky perch that's been rigged to falter from the first day of birth.
624Please respect copyright.PENANAZxCbfcGwWO
I know you're thinking, "If I'm destined to suffer the sins of my father, then why even bother?
How could I open the eyes of my sons and daughters
If it's meant for them to swim in the same dirty waters?"

Don't stand for injustice of any kind
Don't even attempt to try it.

A broken toy on Christmas.
624Please respect copyright.PENANAtvrDL0Ou1o
You'll find yourself asking for an acknowledgement of your innocence,
BEFORE you're presumed guilty!
624Please respect copyright.PENANAFOOEtm4VyV
See, this justice system ain't blind,
It has 20/20 vision
Especially when it comes to seeing young black, red, and brown men put in prison.
624Please respect copyright.PENANA1B14jMVpno
Probationary supervision, parole, the bracelet,
We're put in this system swiftly.

It's more of us in the system now than there were slaves in 1850.
624Please respect copyright.PENANAk67C6Mj2yy
The funny thing is, in the streets, you might find yourself struggling to secure employment day after day.
But as soon as your ass gets locked up, you'll be given a job right away!

But don't ever embrace playing victim
No matter how much the devil tempts you
These jokers will accuse you of playing the race card
Knowing the whole deck is stacked against you!

As a matter of fact, let's do the MATH before you wind up in prison.

They're gonna MULTIPLY barriers, ADD endless obstacles, SUBTRACT you from your home,
Then your family will suffer LONG DIVISION!
624Please respect copyright.PENANA8WDeRMgCwK
It's gonna be frustrating and hard to understand, so at times you're going to find yourself over sitting in your sorrow
It's gonna be hard to look for a brighter day,
When you're never promised tomorrow.
624Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6cVT4wtfk
Now at the same time, I expect you to take responsibility for your actions.
You're going to end up bringing a lot of shit on yourself,
624Please respect copyright.PENANAj4e3Lf4EMG
Trying to find a shortcut to wealth.
624Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZZ7GnIdJG
Lack of initiative and self discipline,
will always be bad for your health.
624Please respect copyright.PENANAGaOkxNqtvP
But in this battle for your body and soul,
You need to be willing to go on a warpath.
624Please respect copyright.PENANAaOwK80bZgn
Hopefully, God showers your soul with mercy,

Because this shit could end in a bloodbath.
