Nnge (feat. Toine)

I mean what is there to fear? I'm from black America, this is just another year If you're new to disrespect by your elected puppeteers Well, let me show you how to persevere Just get up every time somebody knock you down And celebrate in front of people like they not around And if they try to build a wall to keep you ballin' out of bounds Use the bench they told you to warm to keep the fences knockin' down Shout out to latinos because hustlin' ain't illegal We prayin' to the east or the father, we all are equal But if parted they gon' progress in stoppin' us gettin' C-notes Well let me ask the crowd, do one of y'all disagree? This is for Chocolate City though I represent the county Until your vote is counted, know I got you until I'm outy It's all about the effort and I'm effortlessly fresher If I'm preachin' to the choir, know they're bound to get the lecture It went from folks around me, pushin' envelopes and boundaries So you won't only hear me where you found me I'm somewhere askin' questions like, "Can I be afforded the most?" You better answer me with more than a "no" Tryin' tell ya Ooh, never not gettin' enough From this life that I'm leadin' and you know I believe in y'all know I ain't leavin' I'm posted, like Ooh, never not gettin' enough From this life that I'm leadin' and you know I believe in y'all know I ain't leavin' I'm posted, like This is for the county and the areas surroundin' DC, Maryland and Virginia know I'm with you Now what are you willin' to let die first, your pride or your freedom? The story of my life's inner conflict It's like I follow my dreams But how am I supposed to slide in the DM On this mic, is what I'm tryin' accomplish I used to do it for the fist bumps and applauses But carin' about respect started makin' me nauseous You walk into a room, and bammas speak to you cautious Like employees tryin' to figure out who the boss is So now I just kick it for, the most divine Workin' overtime Sittin' with an open bottle, lookin' for an open mind Tryin' not to be aggressively jaded 'Cause I find myself just gettin' faded And I know that ain't quite me I step up for whatever it might be And RSVP when inspiration invite me 'Cause who else gonna look out for those who look like me Another disenfranchised boy in a white tee? Come on, man Ooh, never not gettin' enough From this life that I'm leadin' and you know I believe in y'all know I ain't leavin' I'm posted, like Ooh, never not gettin' enough From this life that I'm leadin' and you know I believe in y'all know I ain't leavin' I'm posted, like This is for the county and the areas surroundin' DC, Maryland and Virginia know I'm with you All I know is love I give it how I get it, I can never get enough Sympathy to enemies 'cause hate ain't in my blood And if you can't relate, you've given up I'm tryin' to make the most of it though Gettin' close is a no Want nothin' lesser than a yes because it's suppose to be so The cost of nothing's too low My expectations too high I'd rather die than be complacent with the way that it goes Apathy is a disease and we're just steady sharin' needles Unaffected people carry evil Ease is what we know We've got to raise the bar though The sorrows of today will give away to a tomorrow So what's a week of paid leave And empty promises of hirin' Just to fire me before retirement I'm tryin' to make more in one day than 401K So give me what you promised to pay 'Cause it's never enough Ooh, never not gettin' enough From this life that I'm leadin' and you know I believe in y'all know I ain't leavin' I'm posted, like Ooh, never not gettin' enough From this life that I'm leadin' and you know I believe in y'all know I ain't leavin' I'm posted, like This is for the county and the areas surroundin' DC, Maryland and Virginia know I'm with you
