I'm sitting in the back of this bus
Listening to conversations and thinking it's just
A waste of time if I chose to speak
So I keep it silent and occasionally
Add my two cents tithing to the conversation
Really thinking bout my placement
I'm too hood fa the Holliest than thows
But I'm too holy fa the neighborhood now
Take my shoes off cause I'm on holy ground
Thinking bout this girl she asked where I see myself five years from now
And truly I don't know
I hope not dead or poor
I hope with hopeful intent
They taking pictures
But I'll paint this painting
What I'm saying
It's gone take more time with me
They want a microwave with life
But ima smoker typa king
They want the Quick gimme gimmes
The women by the plenty
That used to be my life but time proved evidently
That wasn't inside his nature
Loved proved to be patient
Through all the temptation
Hope you listen to what I'm saying
I pray and hope fa my brothers hold they soul but oh well oh well
They can't say Ian tried I put my whole life on the line
But oh well oh well
I wish that I was bullet proof
I wish I never seen the truth
I wish my people was treated equal
But wishes won't come true
Break a curse to start a new
Overthinking flower blooms
Thinking in the darkest room
Hope I go to heaven soon
And ian really trynna rush it
Got me tussling in my mind
Know that love is hard to find
Love is patient love is kind
But seems so conditional
With these people Ian lying
If I am then pigs flying
Cause a pig got Sonya massey flying
Let me speak on that let's bring it back
Black folk dying left and right
The pistol got an appetite
What's your order here tonight
Black folk lit up candle light
I wish that I could stand and fight
But seems I'm losing breath to site
The information based upon
Why my brothers killing brothers
I guess we all doing fine
Let's kill us fa they kill us
Yea good thinking right
If we kill us and they kill us
Who's really on they team
Seems we need mirrors to me
I pray and hope fa my brother hold they soul but oh well oh well
They can't say Ian tried I put my whole life on the line
But oh well oh well
