This is about BLM and how in America we only act when people die, but never act during the struggle of being alive.
lyrics
Look at my eyes
I might fucking fly
I might fucking die
I might go under
Look at my eyes
I might go up
I might pour up
I might leave now
Six feet under
Is the way that they see me
Six feet above
Is the way that I'm dreaming
Worked so hard
So I could get the whip
Remember them days on the Megabus ship
Five years touring
Spreading the word
Got a lot of stories
Bout the pain and the hearse
Lost a lot of family
And I'm feeling the fuck its
Some days they make me feel like
I ain't even worth it
I should be paid more
I should live better
But they won't give me the bag
But they'll give me the bullet
Please don't shoot me
Please don't kill me
That's when I'm screaming
But they won't do nothing
Look at my eyes
I might fucking fly
I might fucking die
I might go under
Look at my eyes
I might go up
I might pour up
I might leave now
Read a lot of books
Never felt shook
Never felt shame
For my brain
Cuz they call me lame
Game never change
When the game stay the same
When the guilt for fame
They go insane
Chasing a fake plan
Working with the white man
I swear they want slaves
I'll stay independent
Keep my own rights
Keep my own hope
Control my own narrative
Cuz that's imperative
Fuck the corporate
They'll eat you for lunch
Invest in your people
They'll feed your brunch
Don't tell me you care
When you don't play fair
They don't want us to live
They'll march when we die
