[Verse 1]

Yeah, listen

Let me tell you what I hate, everything I ain't

Everything I’ve done, everything I break

I hate the way that you were saying I'd be great, straight

Let me tell you what I love, that there's no one above

The thought: "It is what it is"

Shit, same thought, it was what it was

Yeah, I’m like the dove that had flew too close to the Sun

And he knew deep down there was nothing he could do

It's ****еd because the Sun was you, ah

But still I tеll you what I hate, though

The same fellas getting bodied by the plain clothes

The same niggas that would follow under rainbows

The very same boys that would follow on the way home

Yeah, either your jacket or your raincoat

Tryna take suttin' that ain't dope, it's painful

At times I wish I had a guardian angel

To help me with the brothers, that's shameful

But still I love the rainfall (Yeah, the rainfall, rainfall)

I love the fact that they're so ****ing grateful (Yes)

I love the fact that my plate's full

I love the money in my bank, it’s disgraceful, so many zeroes

I’ve brushed shoulders with so many heroes

I lost count, still hold those dineros

Tryna say suttin', my ears closed

I fear those lost in the past living on the recline

The same look up in their eyes if they’re borrowing time

It's nine lives, on the eight, see the finishing line

It's right there on the horiz— couldn't finish the rhyme

I hate time, I said I ****ing hate time (Time, time, time)

[Chorus]

Yeah, they said it was all that you could be if you were black Playing ball or maybe rap, and they would say it like a fact

All my people in the back, all the nurses in the front

All my teachers, where you at?

’Cause we've been living like a trap

Putting numbers on the wall, hoping people would react

But it's a fact, we've been living in a trap, we're trapped

[Verse 2]

I hate, I love, hate the ones who think that they're above

My grandfather told me: "Never trust in them"

But I do, yo, the ones I shouldn't, true, I stuck with them

This is it, still, I seen men hit women

Who hit back, all them couldn't give a shit

Hidden but won't crack under pressure of this shit feeling

Uh, ayo, this shit feeling, listen yo, I fear women

I fear love, religion, I fear drugs, the feeling

I fear us, fear us

Nearing the end, but I can't comprehend my fears

Wisdom, I fear him

Yeah, I fear the colour of my skin

I fear the colour of my kin

I still feel the colour that's within

[Chorus]

Yo, they said it was all that you could be if you were black

Playing ball or maybe rap, and they would say it like a fact

So all my people in the back, all the nurses in the front

All my teachers, where you at?

Yeah, 'cause we've been living like a trap

Putting numbers on the wall, hoping people would react

But it's a fact, we've been living in a trap, we're trapped

Yo, they said it was all that you could be if you were black

Playing ball or maybe rap, and they would say it like a fact

So all my people in the back, all the nurses in the front

All my teachers, where you at?

Yeah, 'cause we've been living like a trap

Putting numbers on the wall, hoping people would react

But it's a fact, we've been living in a trap, we're trapped

[Outro]

(We're trapped, we're trapped)
