Black on Black

Verse 1:

What do you do
When you're distracted by temptation
This generation is
Numb
We don't feel no more
I'm chasing maturity
In fear they will get bored with me
So I straddle the line of
Disorderly
Conduct
I'm stuck like many
But many won't get to heaven
Recklessly
A recipe for failure
Telling your dreams that they can rest in peace,
No we're not perfect
But our worth is,
And cops don't really understand our purpose,
So we're hurting
Every time we see another brother,
shot down
We're not feeling that pain,
We're rioting for change to come,
How
Do we expect to come to a solution
When we keep causing pollution
On the other hand
We're whites right for rioting just for losing a game,
It's all stupid
But double standards do exist
They expect us to co exist
When Billy's crimes just get remised
My homie Andre got some time
When I dropped his ass a line
I learned his crime's not justified
Coming up
I Learned that I
had to submit
When pigs arrive
Never knew that I had my rights
Now that I'm grown
And learning more
I'm eating pigs like carnivores
Please leave your ego at my door
Even in these rhymes
I ask for more forgiveness
From the Lord,
As I try to keep it censored
For the church
But I gotta speak my heart
Not beat around,
Life's a roller coaster
I'm just trying to find some solid ground
Now

Hook:

Life's a roller coaster
I'm just trying to find some solid ground
Now x3
Solid Ground Now

Verse 2:

What if I told you
If we boycott Instagram they would give a damn,
Give us much more time to devise
A plan to defeat the man,
I swear we're exposed to these distractions,
A generation of talkers
That don't know how to take action,
While you're snapping
They're chatting
Amongst themselves
About how
To invest, so their youngins are living well
And start their family businesses,
So the cycle continues of white wealth,
While we're fiddling,
Thumbs on our screens,
You think Bill Gates gives a fuck about a hashtag?
You think they care about the 800 we just had,
In our pockets?
These tech leaders understand
Hands on learning
Brings profit,
The REAL prophet,
And God knows,
They won't let their kids get hooked,
They keep their kids outside,
And in books,
I don't care about your Jordan's or
Red bottoms
And fuck your beef, niggas solve them
Focus on real problems
SHIT!

Life's a roller coaster
I'm just trying to find some solid ground
Now
Solid Ground now
