lirik lagu d2thajxint - letter to the youth

[intro]
a deadly shooting happened this morning near loci and tropical
police arriving located an unresponsive man
new details tonight, a boy has now died after police said
he was shot in the neck, playing with a gun
it happened sat~rday inside a house, not far from where king black lived

[verse 1]
they want us dead before we 20, that’s the sad truth
little homie on a mission, barely past his youth
l.a. streets getting grimey, there ain’t no truce
now they glorify the trauma like it’s somethin’ to prove
samе color, same struggle, but we k!lling еach other
bangin’ on our own kind, man, that’s attackin’ a brother
we supposed to rise together, not die for the turf
but they taught us to each other since the moment of birth
selling drugs to the kids and took the fathers away
left the babies traumatized and the mothers to pray
got my people in a grave, others stuck in a cell
ain’t no heaven on this earth, this sh~t just a livin’ h~ll
i’m tired of bein’ poor and, even worse, i’m black
born into a war with a target on my back
why the cops always pull the trigger like it’s okay?
another mother cryin’ while the mayor look away
cia dropped crack, they just fueled the heat
then they watched us go to war, all from office seats
we just p~wned in they system, tryna flex in the field
it’s either death or jail time, what we really tryna build?
[chorus]
can’t you see what’s at stake?
they profit every time another soul get erased
we was kings before chains, now we slaves to the pain
still fightin’ each other like the past was in vain
can’t you see what’s at stake?
they profit every time another soul get erased
we was kings before chains, now we slaves to the pain
still fightin’ each other like the past was in vain

[verse 2]
born in ’03, got put on at 13
learned to keep a blower tucked in my ksubi jeans
grew up in the land where loyalty is a must
and even if i die for it, i ain’t breakin’ that trust
mama cried every night, said i need to change
but the hood showed me love when the world gave pain
i always knew this world was evil but this life don’t heal
i’m going to war for all my brothers, you don’t know how it feel
all those times i was sittin’ in the county, thinkin’ ’bout my life
could’ve died young, walkin’ on thin ice
n0body know my struggle, they just readin’ off my name
the whole system built tryna treat all blacks the same
tired of being locked in this cage
tryna rise up, but they always quick to throw shade
i lost my brother to the system, now i know about that gunplay
every time i slide, i reminisce about him every day
ain’t proud of what i did, i can’t turn back now
trauma in my chest, i just never spoke loud
i wish the streets never took my innocence as a kid
but things will never change and that’s just the way it is
[chorus]
can’t you see what’s at stake?
they profit every time another soul get erased
we was kings before chains, now we slaves to the pain
still fightin’ each other like the past was in vain
can’t you see what’s at stake?
they profit every time another soul get erased
we was kings before chains, now we slaves to the pain
still fightin’ each other like the past was in vain

[verse 3]
taught us about rosa, but they left out assata
never told the truth, just the parts that they can sell ’em
if it wasn’t for martin, we’ll still be in chains
he told us to fight back, now they scared to say his name
i say ”f~ck the police” that’s how i treat ’em
we buy our way out of jail, but we can’t buy freedom
harriet ran with the torch and i’m tryna do the same
but i carry revolution like it’s pumping in my veins
there ain’t no peace, we still dyin’ in the field
they profit off our trauma and ignore how we feel
we always scream for justice, they just give us pain
another hashtag name, but it still stay the same
”it’s time to fight back” that’s what malcolm said
now they paint him like a villain ’cause he ended up dead
and pac tried to tell us, they ain’t want us to hear
so they label him a thug because he spoke with no fear
a million marches, still no peace in the streets
we all dying young, they saying rest in peace
and all i’m tryna do is change the future for my unborn kid
but things might never change but that’s just the way it is
[chorus]
can’t you see what’s at stake?
they profit every time another soul get erased
we was kings before chains, now we slaves to the pain
still fightin’ each other like the past was in vain
can’t you see what’s at stake?
they profit every time another soul get erased
we was kings before chains, now we slaves to the pain
still fightin’ each other like the past was in vain
