Don't Shoot

Not your business but Ive seen some shit
Got snatched up by my mom when I was six
I can still smell the smoke as the bullet missed
Thats a lot for a kid
Had enough when I was fourteen
I ran away so I can force down my dreams
But I didnt have the knowledge
The streets was too much
Mama just taught me I wasnt enough
Youre safe so you live it up
Hard days, youve never seen them love
Im not saying Im the only one
But damn some days dont it feel like it
Hands up, please dont shoot
They say that youll love it if your mouth stay mute
They say they dont see color but the blood stain show the proof
Hands up, please dont shoot
Well living in a world but it cant take truth
They say they dont see color but the blood stain show the proof
Lock me up when I was nineteen
There goes my twenties and there goes my dreams
Put me on the yard and said sacrifice the queen
Thats a lot for a teen
Cried so much when I was released
Kissed the grass under my feet
Modern slavery tried to get the best of me
Thats a lot for anybody
Youre safe so you live it up
Hard days, youve never seen them love
Im not saying Im the only one
But damn some days dont it feel like it
Hands up, please dont shoot
They say that youll love it if your mouth stay mute
They say they dont see color but the blood stain show the proof
Hands up, please dont shoot
We'll living in a world but it cant take truth
They say they dont see color but the blood stain show the proof
Now Im sitting in my fourties
What I need I can afford it
Butterflies on the red carpet
Thats a whole lot for me
Thats a whole lot for me
