7 years, 7 years, 7 years, 7 years, 7 years... Well respected in this hiphop little polo, be spittin' facts a lot of rappers doin' weight more stunted, givin' back You ain't my color, then you don't know the struggle of livin' black Cops kill us and we protest what type of *** is that? Man if the police shoot at one of my brothers I'm blickin' back We hate each other so we just wanna score and go 10 for 10 All these shorties want us points they ain't chasin' a different stat Really riskin' it all what's the point when that nigga rat? 17 got 40 years in that courtroom we gettin' cracked Stuck in this system they just watchin' us fail while they sittin' back The government cuttin' checks but can't cut a nigga some slack It's hard to get a job so we hustlin', flip a pack It's all a setup no wonder why they call this bitch a trap Life was messed up I'm out of time til' that nigga snap Post-traumatic stress so them triggers keep gettin' tapped R.I.P. Malcolm I promise to conquer and fill them gaps Them corners leavin' nigga boxed in tryna break free Crazy how I love the same black that tried to break me Pray that I ain't in my own hood when they take me This how we know a life of peace where we can't see I'm from where we unheard and we can't speak We go to school they try to tell us what we can't be Poppin' with a billion dollar man like I'm Jay-Z They killed Martin for dreamin' and now I can't sleep Why would the devil take my brother if he close to me? Now if you stare into my soul you see my bros and me We missin' you man this ain't how this ***'s supposed to be Feel like I'm stuck out with some streets never proposed to me Out there posted in the field with them soldiers deep So now the other side wanna put a hole in me Like every day might be the end of the road for me We die young so I couldn't picture a older me Fightin' demons let them drugs take control of me All in my head go and kill what they told to me Remember we ain't have a thing Same clothes, two weeks Hard body that's how them situations molded me Needed money and grew accustomed to this fast life Pressure from this way of livin' so we blast pipes *** got me stressin' 365 nights Them people workin' against us like we don't have rights It don't matter what this money and this fame can give I been hurtin' tryna smile through the pain and tears Wish we could go back to them days when we played as kids A lot of *** changed but just the way it is That's just That's just the way it is Some things are never Some things are never changed That's just the way it is The way it is Ooh That's just That's just the way it is Some things are never changed That's just the way it is The way it is Never, never Some things will never change Some things will never change Never, never Some things will never change You finally made it, big brother. You're the GOAT.
