Nasty C ft. T.I. – They Don’t (Lyrics):
They don’t want me to win, they don’t want me to eatThey don’t want to see a young black man succeedThey don’t want to see me take my brothers out of the streetsThey don’t want meThey don’t want me to sleep, they don’t want me to dreamThey don’t want to see my people livin’ good and at easeThey wanna lock ’em all up and then get rid of the keysWe ain’t never free
I’m grateful for life and the prize I reapEvery day and every night, I get on my kneesAnd I pray for my guys and they familiesHope the Lord hear meI can only imagine the pain and the griefFrom the innocent mothers with all the shit they had to seeWhen you lose the ones you love to the fuckin’ police, it cuts deepWhen Heaven calls and the angels do they jobWe start to question God like we could play His partIt gets so fuckin’ hard, we can’t escape the darkIt’s hatred in my heart for the ones who left this scarBut everything will be alright soonI just wanna let you know ain’t nothin’ like youWe live and die, that’s always been the cycleI promise it wasn’t about youWhen you make it to Heaven, give me your eyes, dudeWatch over me closely ’til it’s my time tooThe only thing I can do is turn to the BibleAnd do my best to help your family ’cause they’re mine too
But they don’t want me to win, they don’t want me to eatThey don’t want to see a young black man succeedThey don’t want to see me take my brothers out of the streetsThey don’t want meThey don’t want me to sleep, they don’t want me to dreamThey don’t want to see my people livin’ good and at easeThey wanna lock ’em all up and then get rid of the keysWe ain’t never free
How could you blame as many sisters and brothers die?If they answer to it go and start another fireGuess they gotta do it, has to show objection to itGod bless ’em, no direction, out there gettin’ to it2020, guess it’s the year of the burn, consequences you earnedTo build this nation that you hate me in, the karma’s returnedWell, that’s a stupid question, when will you learn?You never will, word to George Floyd, Emmett Till, and Sean BellGuess they’d rather see us all in civil unrestThan to go and make some fuckin’ arrests, fuck is that?Well, after that, here’s to getting exactly what you expectHow you ‘posed to serve and protect with your knee on my neck?Look, it ain’t hard to see you not for me, the cycle of atrocityBlew your cover when there about to be some reciprocityI’m with the cause, and it’s gon’ be whatever it got to be (uh-uh)Uh-huh, but vandalizin’ buildings, that’s just not for meBut even still, if I’ma be real with you, no fuckin’ jokeBest thing I seen, that police station goin’ up in smokeHmm, felt like vindication for so many folks (for real)Breonna Taylor, Sandra Bland, and so many more
They don’t want me to win, they don’t want me to eatThey don’t want to see a young black man succeedThey don’t want to see me take my brothers out of the streetsThey don’t want meThey don’t want me to sleep, they don’t want me to dreamThey don’t want to see my people livin’ good and at easeThey wanna lock ’em all up and then get rid of the keysWe ain’t never free
Ay, hold my hand, mama, I’m here for youThey think they took your son, but they put him right next to youYou the strongest thing on this earth, you unbreakablePlus you brought him into this earth and you raised him tooTake a second off every day and get comfortableCelebrate yourself for a change ’cause you never doWith all the pressure from society, you always hidingGo outside and show the world a better youI know you worried sick about if I’ma make it home this eveningYou know ’cause of my color, life ain’t gon’ be easyBut I’ma be okay if I tell God I need HimThat’s what you taught me without even knowing you teachingSee what I’m tryna say is you the furthest from weakAnd I sing your praises because you a GYou made me and made the world a better place for your seedsHow the fuck could anybody take ’em away from they queen? Uh
