Black trauma no peace with ourselves its like we demand drama
H sold on the corner some adorn themselves with the last dollar
We have scholars still choosing the street cause they fam got to
It might seem foolish the life were choosing to fight the abuser
It's not as easy inside these ruins
You're a target
As soon as you try to hide the influence or try to improve
They see you as someone blinded by hubris
Envy kills I'm certain
We devalued ourselves so we feel none of us deserve shit
The surface got a melanin glow most of us worship
Witch sadly limits the chance for us to truly find our purpose
All these innocent lives taken from people deciding it was their time
Annihilating potential do justify it you prideful you violated
Saying black lives matter them babies gone die nameless
Streets getting gentrified
Trying to find if God gave you an exit sign or be in the court testifying
Hoping that your name resonates through the rest of time
For being a real nigga
Without that crown nobody would recognize
The individual you are let them scars show on this hard road
Them lost souls don't want to see our growth
Your black pride is cool but are we unified not close
So, our goal should be to act I'm hearing yall topmost
While yall cope with social pressure like the rest of us stop complaining
Cherokee native and black I got daily complications
But I found a way to separate from total decline and anguish
A scribe behind the pages inspiring minds with my observations
On black trauma
Life never promised us an easy way, yet we complain
Expecting solutions for what we need to change
I know you seen Russia attack Ukraine, but you didn't see the stage
Cuz it's been arranged to keep us all enslaved, but we don't see the chains
