[ Featuring Ty Farris ]
(Verse 1)
Being black a full time job it's no days off
Was bred with a braveheart, mentally i remain sharp
Walk thru a field alone at night, I hear slaves talk
That rage get transferred to a page, sometime i paint dark
Mental shackles, we know what happen when Adam bit the apple
If you believe that present evidence with ya feedback
I pray to a higher power and that's where imma leave that
Cops go to church next day they ready to beat blacks
45 extorting minds, reporting lies
The sheep will follow distorted pride
Racism, they rape women and fake victims
Then a innocent black man in a state prison
The judge face shape shifting to a snake hissing
Nothing change them chains is still on us
They invisible, white man still think they invincible
These days most students don't got principles
Surviving in the streets as a black man is a miracle
(Chorus)
A lost soul that's on the run
Pray for better days many nights up in the slums
Strategize like Sun Tzu, come thru ya done
It's a war outside and the government got the guns
We the enemy
A lost soul that's on the run
Pray for better days many nights up in the slums
Strategize like Sun Tzu, come thru ya done
It's a war outside and the government got the guns
We the enemy
(Verse 2)
A poor mind with a .45 that's unfortunate
Cracked a fortune cookie it said think like and extortionist
Lifes a quarter flip, a court room or recording this
My life was hanging off selling trees just like an ornament.
Devil locked my coordinates and his aim great
Even under pressure i maintain my game face
Strategize came from the dirt like a dandelion
Praying that i blossom where hammers rise, the land of crime
Grandma crying, she hoping i pick a better path
I bless the pad with vivid reflections of my reckless past
Dont trust nobody calculations i always check the math
Team player before i take a bad shot, i'll make a extra pass
That's the difference between me and you
Set a goal and see it threw, 5 star general imma lead my crew
With integrity, ownership and some equity
Use to question my future obviously this was destiny
(Chorus)
A lost soul that's on the run
Pray for better days many nights up in the slums
Strategize like Sun Tzu, come thru ya done
It's a war outside and the government got the guns
We the enemy
A lost soul that's on the run
Pray for better days many nights up in the slums
Strategize like Sun Tzu, come thru ya done
It's a war outside and the government got the guns
We the enemy
