I'm living on as I learn
Trials & tribulations, never fold, remain firm
To whom, that this may concern
I deserve what I earn, this the moment I yearn
I done grind so hard, way past the point of fed up
Ten toes down, weary now, but I don't let up
I'm a black male & I done fell for the setup
Stay strong, kept my head up, as I bounce back quick
My testimony will be heard, I'm announce that shit
I seen the worst of the worst, but I don't lose my grip
I stay holding on tight, while I ride this trip
Everything has a price & I amount to it
I grew up, around some people that would doubt my shit
It feels good to prove them wrong, you see I'm about that shit
My testimony will be heard, I'm shout that shit
Whether battered or scratch free, I done made it out that shit
I saw the darkest of nights, ain't no money for lights
I done got knocked down, but I still put up a fight
I done got locked down, they never read me my rights
So it's always f*ck 12, when I see them on sight
I ain't letting up
Heavy on his head, no he ain't getting up
This is for them fallen soldiers, taken by authority
Morally, they can't imagine, of being the minority
Beyond treated horribly, a tragedy so forcefully
I'm grab my dick & I'm talk my shit
I swear I'm done with nine to five's, & my bond is my word
Until the vision is saw, until the message is heard
I'm to make shit happen, definition of verb
I'm take what's mine & the shit I deserve
I'm spread my wings, soar high like bird
I'm seize this moment, for the tables has turn
To whom, that this may concern, I'm living on as I learn
God
If the game is underground, then I'm the illest of worms
Leave off in the mainstream, & never return
