[00:12.25]I mean what is there to fear
[00:13.83]I'm from black America this is just another year
[00:16.14]If you're new to disrespect by your elected puppeteers
[00:18.72]Well let me show you how to persevere
[00:22.84]Just get up every time somebody knocks you down
[00:23.86]And celebrate in front of people like they're not around
[00:25.63]And if they try to build a wall to keep you balling out of bounds
[00:28.54]Use the bench they told you to warm to keep the fences knocking down
[00:31.33]Shout out to latinos because hustling ain't illegal
[00:34.00]We praying to the east or the father, we all are equal
[00:36.22]But if parted they gon' progress in stopping us getting C notes
[00:39.33]Well let me ask the crowd, do one of y'all disagree, no
[00:42.90]This is for Chocolate City though I represent the county
[00:45.23]Until your vote is counted know I got you until I'm outy
[00:47.91]It's all about the effort and I'm effortlessly fresher
[00:50.49]If I'm preaching to the choir know they're bound to get the lecture
[00:53.17]It went from folks around me, pushing envelopes and boundaries
[00:55.94]So you won't only hear me where you found me
[00:57.91]I'm somewhere asking questions like "Can I be afforded the most?"
[01:01.04]You better answer me with more than a no
[01:03.07]Tryin tell ya
[01:07.78]Ooh, never not getting enough
[01:09.85]From this life that I'm leading and all I believe in ya'll know, I ain't leaving I'm posted, like
[01:15.20]Ooh, never not getting enough
[01:20.48]From this life that I'm leading and all I believe in ya'll know, I ain't leaving I'm posted, like
[01:25.66]This is for the county and the areas surrounding
[01:28.29]DC, Maryland and Virginia know I'm with you
[01:30.18]What are you willing to let die first
[01:32.09]Your pride or your freedom
[01:33.45]The story of my life's inner conflict
[01:35.41]It's like I follow my dreams
[01:36.78]But how am I supposed to slide in the DM
[01:38.54]On this mic, is what I'm trying accomplish
[01:40.64]I used to do it for the fist bumps and applauses
[01:43.22]But caring about respect started making me nauseous
[01:45.93]You walk into a room, and bammas speak to you cautious
[01:48.53]Like employees trying to figure out who the boss is
[01:50.87]So now I just kick it for, the most divine
[01:53.81]Working overtime
[01:54.71]Sitting with an open bottle, looking for an open mind
[01:57.33]Trying not to be aggressively jaded
[01:59.74]Because I find myself just getting faded
[02:01.81]And I know that ain’t quite me
[02:03.36]I step up for whatever it might be
[02:04.68]And RSVP when inspiration invite me
[02:13.22]Because who else gonna look out for those who look like me Another disenfranchised boy in a white tee
[02:13.98]Ooh, never not getting enough
[02:19.16]From this life that I'm leading and all I believe in ya'll know, I ain't leaving I'm posted, like
[02:24.22]Ooh, never not getting enough

[02:42.83]I give it how I get it, I can never get enough
[02:45.40]Sympathy to enemies cause hate ain't in my blood
[02:47.99]And if you can't relate you've given up
[02:50.14]I'm trying to make the most of it though
[02:51.80]Getting close is a no
[02:53.11]Want nothing lesser than a yes because it's suppose to be so
[02:55.67]The cost of nothing's too low
[02:57.03]My expectations- too high
[02:58.66]I'd rather die
[02:59.98]Than be complacent with the way that it goes
[03:01.29]Apathy is a disease and we're just steady sharing needles
[03:03.95]Unaffected people carry evil
[03:06.08]Ease is what we know
[03:07.43]We've got to raise the bar though
[03:08.65]The sorrows of today will give away to a tomorrow
[03:11.22]So what's a week of paid leave
[03:12.78]And empty promises of hiring
[03:14.55]Just to fire me before retirement
[03:16.66]I'm trying to make more in one day than 401K
[03:20.03]So give me what you promised to pay
[03:22.88][03:22.00]Because it's never enough
[03:26.89]Ooh, never not getting enough
