lyrics

With the sun up high and the rain never lettin up
In the end just let my people shine x2

Jay
I’m just fighting for the shades and the colours
Half assed one thing, fast tracked the other
Cause it’s too hard to keep my head straight
Unless I go 4 days, 5 dates, rackin up the real estate
Now stack up your shoes, showcase your tans
Never mind just hide light of blessing who I am
I could just go down to miami and get my head beat
By a stalkin hillbo that hates kneelin athletes
Well I don’t know who needs to hear it
They run the whole world now, but we’re not gettin comfortable
Hide your head, no need to block your sorrows
I bet they had a lot of bright ideas, god rest their souls
Hands in the air so they don’t start
The feels that i feel got me so far
But we keep buzzing through the seasons
Like we’re black and yellows
Then watch the feed drop everyday it’s all the same

It’s not too late to stop this~

With the sun up high and the rain never lettin up
In the end just let my people shine x4

It’s not too late to stop this~

“I don’t even know what to say man, yenno I really do wish I was more of a poet, i’m tripped up, truly I don’t really know what the fuck is going on these days. I don’t know what the fuck is going on. Shit’s confusing right now. Yenno imma stop talking, i’m gonna let my boy Kin say somethin”



Mckinley
Charcoal covers my skin,
Running through the night,
Wonder where I end and begin
My gods were killed by those that wrote what tied em to the ground,
Then claimed that there ain’t enough worship to all go around
How that work,
In the mirror tall,
with my lil stance,
Copy papa look,
Could kill you wit a glance,
Saying sorry to my youngins in advance,
Grown man til my auntie ask me do my little dance,
Hard bottoms clickin in this place of worship,
Praying these wings can hold enough to halt the falls inertia,
But the ground is getting closer,
Yellin why this isnt workin,
Flailing arms,
These words can’t come out,
before I hit the earth and,
Breathe nigga breathe,
Woke up sweating,
What it mean, what it mean,
The prollem with this pain,
Is that a nigga must react,
I’m only doin this so when you running,
Sun could hit yo back,
Like
Word?
What’s the word?
What’s the word,
What’s the word? What's the word?

Jay
Well well well

The word is on the street, the problems we see, come forward then collapse
This ain’t no mishap just open your eyes ACAB

Mckinley
My Oops end up like Doodlebop
Erased when that pen touch the note pad top
Then forgot bout when the next episode drop
It’s crazy
my niggas might block ya shots



Jay
It’s so shameful like all these white folks in dreadlocks
Is it the truth? The Lie? The wealth disguised as humble lies cut through the tides
I can’t tell

Mckinley
Scarecrow
Light Em up,
Watch me burn,
Whose neck,
Is next,
Getting stepped on,
If they don’t respect,
The young boys with S up on they chest

Jay
Instead of burying all these young men in their sunday best for real

It’s not too late to stop this~

With the sun up high and the rain never letting up
In the end just let my people shine x5
“Just don’t don’t forget it, don’t don’t forget it, say their names”
