[00:02.44]How I keep from goin' under?
[00:05.68]It's like a jungle outside
[00:06.92]Sometimes I wonder how I keep from goin' under
[00:09.50]
[00:10.27]We scream, "Black Lives Matter," but we still toting ladders
[00:13.85]Watching our own brothers trying to get at us
[00:15.97]Dreams get shattered when a scene full of crackers
[00:18.19]And they charge you with some shit you ain't do
[00:20.50]You like, "what happened?"
[00:20.99]We go get lawyers to say shit , we don't know how to talk
[00:23.48]They told us to hate each other before we learn how to walk
[00:26.16]Mama taught you how to fight, fight, before she taught you how to write, right
[00:29.00]And daddy locked down in the cell, can't kiss you night, night
[00:31.46]Monsters under the bed every night, feel like it's fright night
[00:33.99]Coke fumes in the air, mama holding on that pipe tight
[00:36.70]And you catchin' contact, but never mind that
[00:38.60]In a world where Black is wrong and white right, it's like a combat
[00:41.23]We go to war for our freedom, they say we equal
[00:43.83]I used to wanna play like Randall and be an Eagle
[00:46.48]I used to play the quarterback, my dog would go receiver
[00:49.27]That was 'til the ball got flat by a bitch needle on the pavement
[00:52.52]It's amazin', this environment we was raised in
[00:55.40]On them papers, one mistake and I'm gettin' caged in
[00:57.54]You gotta feel me, feel like the system tryna kill me
[00:59.97]Got arrested and the charges F1 for popping wheelies, stay woke
[01:02.46]
[01:02.59]It was designed for us to fail
[01:05.96]We still prevail through the hell
[01:08.70]Yeah, can you believe it? We're still undefeated
[01:12.53]Though it was designed for us to lose
[01:16.12]We'll still make it through, nothing's impossible
[01:20.34]Can you beleive it? We're still undefeated
[01:22.92]
[01:23.28]Picture me ten years younger with some tats on my face
[01:26.28]Takin' a bunch of Xannys with the strap on my waist
[01:28.82]Pointin' it at the camera like mama ain't teach me manners
[01:31.40]Moving along right like I'm headed to Alabama, no, wait
[01:34.53]I can't judge them, I'm just trying to understand them
[01:36.42]Cause I used to pop Percs, pourin' purple in my Fanta
[01:39.70]Had me swerving in my Phantom like I'm runnin' from my dreams
[01:41.77]I was headed for the slammer, I was plantin' all the seed
[01:44.17]For them to bury me, I had my whole family mad at me
[01:47.25]Fell deep in love with the game and it married me
[01:49.94]Judge said, "I'll give you a chance, just don't embarrass me"
[01:52.48]Motivatin' these little niggas is like a charity
[01:54.91]Community service even though they knew we was workin'
[01:57.40]They did this to me on purpose, 'cause I ain't movin' too perfect
[01:59.81]I stay away from them clowns, watch how I move through the circus
[02:02.31]'Cause they be weighing you down, even some of them dudes in your circle, stay woke
[02:04.65]
[02:04.72]Though it's designed for us to fail, yeah
[02:08.60]We still prevail through the hell, yeah
[02:11.83]Can you believe it? We're still undefeated
[02:15.90]Though it was designed for us to lose
[02:18.33]Nothing, nothing, nothing's impossible, no
[02:22.82]Can you beleive it? We're still undefeated
[02:26.00]
[02:26.59]How can I pledge allegiance to the flag
[02:28.89]When they killin' all our sons, all our dads?
[02:30.90]I come from a place, when you kill your own brother you can brag
[02:34.22]Like he got bodies, but that's a fad, no, that's a fact
[02:37.14]I'm screamin' out at your corner, nigga, that's a trap
[02:39.99]Screamin' out at your homie, nigga, that's a rat
[02:42.36]Catch a case with him, bet he crack
[02:44.18]The odds against you and they double stacked, stay woke
[02:46.95]Bought my mom a new crib, that's some gangster shit
[02:49.57]Niece and nephews walking around wearing minks and shit
[02:52.22]Kept the hood motivated, this the thanks I get
[02:54.78]Try to Ja Rule the kid on some W*****a s**t
[02:57.21]But that's impossible 'cause I'm unstoppable
[02:59.54]The label can't drop me, nigga, I'm too valuable
[03:02.19]You thought I would lose but I won and that bothered you
[03:04.86]Still movin' 'round in Philly just like the mobsters do
[03:07.53]When I talked to Em and Hov, they said, "I'm proud of you
[03:10.38]You stood tall back when everyone doubted you"
[03:13.16]My reply is, "I did what I gotta do
[03:16.53]And I need that verse 'fore you retire too"
[03:18.56]Jumping all the obstacles, I'm way too wavy
[03:20.76]Said I would lose boy you way too crazy
[03:22.75]Pick and choose either fame or the money, fame will make you crazy
[03:25.87]And the money will make them bad bitches say, 'Thank you, baby'
[03:28.52]You're welcome
