I’m tired of this cycle young black man gets killed before he’s able to become an idol. Don’t want to but gotta keep strap on me for survival. And I get labeled the wrong thing for trying to protect my brother Michael. The world builds black men up just for the people in it to bring us down. When was the last time I got called back for a job and now all I can do is sell crack in my hometown. And it said to say because 10 years ago I had dreams and now they all came crashing down some people think this life is really unrealistic but if you ask the black man standing next to you I’d bet he say isn’t. We from two different worlds and yours is full of hate and you think we in the wrong for trying to keep a roof over our heads and food on our child’s plate. Well this is the society we live in and y’all made it this way. I’m tired of getting judged every time that I walk out the house, people staring me funny, and smart remarks like who let the dog out the doghouse. What y’all don’t understand is I got a life too, I got a wife too, I got feelings too but that don’t even make sense to you. I had dreams too but obviously I didn’t dream hard because by the time I was 18 I was locked up behind bars for speaking the truth And they said I was guilty but had no proof that I had done anything wrong and now I’m tryin to prove my innocence and that’s the reason I’m singing this song breaking down in tears in the booth, cause I’m finally free, god damn what took so long
The system is rigged against black ppl there is almost no way you can win, I pray for you and the only way we can stop this is thru God and Jesus, dm on insta @kittleszn if ur ever feeling bad and need someone to talk to
Tryna break this curse Seen to many in the hearse What’s worse Realizing reality but don’t chase yo dreams or livin all in a blur He said he wanna take his chains off We speak one word they blow our brains out Shut ya mouth You don’t get too speak Unless you wanna feel the lead wit some heat Growing up momma told me I was unique I think…. What’s unique about me if I’m scared in the streets We check in the shadows make sure no one following Your heart gets hollow G Next second your lying there tryna too gasp and breathe While they laughing you thought you checked your surroundings But realize it’s yo own blood that be back stabbing You think lastly What did I do? A kid that barely graduated from high school Sluffing classes n smoking weed thinking I was cool Tryna fit into ma pops shoes But I had no clue what I was filling Half of my life I was the villain Momma had cancer Grandma passed away Who do I trust in this life we call a game With broken pieces that just lay Idk im lost im a stray But I know one day I’ll be the one that say check mate
[Verse 1] And I'm in denial And it don't take no X-Ray to see right through my smile I know, I be on the go And there ain't no drink out there that can numb my soul Oh no [Hook] All we wanna do is take the chains off All we wanna do is break the chains off All we wanna do is be free All we wanna do is be free All we wanna do is take the chains off All we wanna do is break the chains off All we wanna do is be free All we wanna do is be free [Verse 2] Can you tell me why Every time I step outside I see my people die I'm lettin' you know That there ain't no gun they make that can kill my soul Oh no [Hook] All we wanna do is take the chains off All we wanna do is break the chains off All we wanna do is be free All we wanna do is be free All we wanna do is take the chains off All we wanna do is break the chains off All we wanna do is be free All we wanna do is be free [Verse 3] Forget this chain, cause this ain't me Though I'm eternally grateful to Jay Z We so elated, we celebrated like Obama waited until his last day in office to tell the nation, brothers is getting their reparations, hey A man can dream, can't he? No disrespect, in terms of change I haven't seen any Maybe he had good intentions but was stifled by the system And was sad to learn that he actually couldn't bring any That's what I get for thinking, this world is fair They let a brother steer the ship And never told him that the ship was sinkin' But I got other shit to think about, like my bank account Forget that watch, you paid too much for it You 'ought to be ashamed When brothers back home be dreading when the seasons change Cause they ain't got no heat and they ain't got no AC WalMart distribution fired my homie, he just had a baby You wonder why it's been so many B and E's lately While brothers from the hood shooting like this is TNT lately And since all the ballers leaving college early I turn on the TV and don't see no brothers with degrees lately [Bridge] Are we all alone, fighting on our own Please give me a chance, I don't wanna dance Somethings got me down, I will stand my ground Don't just stand around, don't just stand around [Outro] All we wanna do is be free All we wanna do is be free All we wanna do is take the chains off..
Actual drums would really improve the beat. I think the lows are too much in this beat too. Some good work on this stuff and it could make it into a new J.Cole album my friend.
I was once that ain't have shit typa nigga Well I turn two quarters to a brick who figured Just me an bro tryna put our city on I write just not I love you typa song I don't catch feelings fast enough Maybe somethings wrong Maybe being me is what got us envolved But I don't want you leaving at all New year new me who the fuck are y'all Just another mothafucka tryna be strong Knowing it ain't what they wanted at all Life has meaning also a cost Maybe that's where they went wrong We so stuck up thinking about how we gonna conquer the loft Which in reality were in the basement making music I wonder if you think about me when I'm gone I wish there was something missing But the pieces are right here Just no time to put them back together One day wishing life was better I promise I'll get my family out the trenches Even if that means me making music just for y'all feelings You find it appealing I find it revealing Deep sorrows Don't pay for love if it don't come with a receipt Because between you an me I don't think we would be Honestly I don't think we have a connection You want the money fame excetera I want the only you type of girl It's just hard to find it in this world
[Verse 3] Yeah Forget this chain, 'cause this ain't me Though I'm eternally grateful to Jay Z We so elated, we celebrated like Obama waited until his last day in office To tell the nation, "Brothers is getting they reparations, hey!"

R.I.P Travon he should’ve never done you that way you were a real Black King and make sure you put a CAPITAL 🅱️ and K🖤 on that forever because we are Blessed like the friend that I lost was to one of my own people deeply routed my heritage. So Travon this was was always for you just didn’t have the “Confidence” to do it back then like you as well ina sense right? So I finally take the Hood off now that I’ve found #God thank you and blessed be all 🌙⚡️✊🏽 until the truth unfolds ❤️🔥🙏🏽

I've been through different hells it didnt matter if I lost a supper , dont agree with a new other up and commer , I wish I kept getting stronger and didnt give up just one up and coming summer , didnt I live all by these rules I lost them numbers, ,
Left with out a trace My DNA is pushing up the bass Wasting time that’s for those Who have time to waste I leave mark of a 1000 Spartans Carefully choreographing my art I spit filthy Only our god can heal me Wealthy every word Carefully I observed Barley turned to hourly they tuned in just to hear me Now That’s power G Friends turned to Hennessey enemies A rose sermon for their future Currently working on a mixtape Permanent on my earning I’m currently certainly the best Affirmative action no one in the game is matching Looking to land another tax bracket Still broke Hart cold spitting foul now light the flame You rich that’s cool still I remain Holding in the pain Tainted by the Lord in the world we call home I’m rank 1
0:20 it’s been a long time since, i heard some real shit, content getting dryer, i’m not feeling content, the bars getting weak, same shit as the streets, treeshes running around, slutty, they spreading disease 0:32 weak in my knees, god i need to breathe i cant feel my fucking face, all the drugs in my spleen this shit feels like a dream, am i alive? am i awake? fuck this bitch on top of me. how many pills i take? 0:42 fuck, i gotta get my head straight thc schizo kid, with the take bnb employee at the lake, and now i’m feeling like drake 0:54 pulled up to the show, and i’m taking all the cake, ironic that your girl is first row, but your late yea, that ass i might have to take but i’ll never ever tell ya if i knew your gonna rage hey, that’s my take, but now i’ll hop off, and go back to being great great ones know it’s not the money or the fame, but respect that isn’t earned that’s gonna hurt you to the grave you could stress out, while i smoke on slurricane you gone pass out, if you smoking with me chilling in dior, but who’s next to me? italiano twins in the latest fashion brunette hair, yea it shines in the wind, come a little closer lemme take you for a spin, treat your really nice, take you back to the crib driving la ferrari down the highway for the pics

I get the fact this rapping not guaranteed Especially seen as dumb statistics in jealousy instead of uplifting a black community I believe that gang initiation is just important as blowing tress But fuck they vision that’s only shit that the systems need too make Caucasian imagine that we’re not anything

I’m sorry man, I hope you find internal grace and happiness
FIRE 🔥
RIP GEORGE FLOYD
i got other shit to think about... LIKE MY BANK ACCOUNT
Too beautiful 👌. Speaks to my soul. Gives me RHCP vibes a bit
Tryna break this curse
Seen to many in the hearse
What’s worse
Realizing reality but don’t chase yo dreams or livin all in a blur
He said he wanna take his chains off
We speak one word they blow our brains out
Shut ya mouth
You don’t get too speak
Unless you wanna feel the lead wit some heat
Growing up momma told me I was unique
I think….
What’s unique about me if I’m scared in the streets
We check in the shadows make sure no one following
Your heart gets hollow G
Next second your lying there tryna too gasp and breathe
While they laughing you thought you checked your surroundings
But realize it’s yo own blood that be back stabbing
You think lastly
What did I do?
A kid that barely graduated from high school
Sluffing classes n smoking weed thinking I was cool
Tryna fit into ma pops shoes
But I had no clue what I was filling
Half of my life I was the villain
Momma had cancer
Grandma passed away
Who do I trust in this life we call a game
With broken pieces that just lay
Idk im lost im a stray
But I know one day
I’ll be the one that say check mate
🔥
Said I’m indeniiiaAAALLLL
and it don’t take no X ray to see right through my smile
[Verse 1] And I'm in denial And it don't take no X-Ray to see right through my smile I know, I be on the go And there ain't no drink out there that can numb my soul Oh no [Hook] All we wanna do is take the chains off All we wanna do is break the chains off All we wanna do is be free All we wanna do is be free All we wanna do is take the chains off All we wanna do is break the chains off All we wanna do is be free All we wanna do is be free [Verse 2] Can you tell me why Every time I step outside I see my people die I'm lettin' you know That there ain't no gun they make that can kill my soul Oh no [Hook] All we wanna do is take the chains off All we wanna do is break the chains off All we wanna do is be free All we wanna do is be free All we wanna do is take the chains off All we wanna do is break the chains off All we wanna do is be free All we wanna do is be free [Verse 3] Forget this chain, cause this ain't me Though I'm eternally grateful to Jay Z We so elated, we celebrated like Obama waited until his last day in office to tell the nation, brothers is getting their reparations, hey A man can dream, can't he?

Vibey, great work🔥
Check out my soundcloud: soundcloud.com/cole_brazeal
Actual drums would really improve the beat. I think the lows are too much in this beat too. Some good work on this stuff and it could make it into a new J.Cole album my friend.
you realize this is an actual J. Cole beat right?
@@prodpreston damn then this stuff would still be better if there were drums
Underrated..
I was once that ain't have shit typa nigga
Well I turn two quarters to a brick who figured
Just me an bro tryna put our city on
I write just not I love you typa song
I don't catch feelings fast enough
Maybe somethings wrong
Maybe being me is what got us envolved
But
I don't want you leaving at all
New year new me who the fuck are y'all
Just another mothafucka tryna be strong
Knowing it ain't what they wanted at all
Life has meaning also a cost
Maybe that's where they went wrong
We so stuck up thinking about how we gonna conquer the loft
Which in reality were in the basement making music
I wonder if you think about me when I'm gone
I wish there was something missing
But the pieces are right here
Just no time to put them back together
One day wishing life was better
I promise I'll get my family out the trenches
Even if that means me making music just for y'all feelings
You find it appealing
I find it revealing
Deep sorrows
Don't pay for love if it don't come with a receipt
Because between you an me
I don't think we would be
Honestly I don't think we have a connection
You want the money fame excetera
I want the only you type of girl
It's just hard to find it in this world
Til ⚡️ strikes
[Verse 3]
Yeah
Forget this chain, 'cause this ain't me
Though I'm eternally grateful to Jay Z
We so elated, we celebrated like Obama waited until his last day in office
To tell the nation, "Brothers is getting they reparations, hey!"
A man can dream, can't he?
No disrespect, in terms of change I haven't seen any
Maybe he had good intentions but was stifled by the system
And was sad to learn that he actually couldn't bring any
That's what I get for thinking, this world is fair
They let a brother steer the ship and never told him that the ship was sinkin'
But I got other shit to think about
Like my bank account
Forget that watch, you paid too much for it, you oughta be ashamed
When brothers back home be dreading when the seasons change
'Cause they ain't got no heat and they ain't got no AC
WalMart distribution fired my homie, he just had a baby
You wonder why it's been so many B and E's lately
While brothers from the hood shooting like this is TNT lately
And since all the ballers leaving college early
I turn on the TV and don't see no brothers with degrees lately
R.I.P ALL MY BROTHAS #REMEMBERME YA FEEL ME 🖤👑🌚🌙✊🏽👼✊❤️🔥💯😤😤😤👁 BLACK POWER FOR LIFE

fosho
Kneeling to protest anthems for a country that brave men chose to die for
Mothers on their knees praying with bibles
In hopes their sons won't get caught by another mans rifle
And Shipped back in boxes with their eyes closed
The same mothers raised their kids in cities filled with hatred
Where cops be too shook to wield heat so they let off at the 1st sign of retaliation
The system got his back so he gets away with just a public statement
And we forget about the kids blood that stained the pavement
Darian.T.L. Desjarlais Its over
You questioned why people kneel for the anthem and then rapped about how fucked up the country is. That’s why they kneel dummy😂
Kinda reminds me of gwyn theme of dark souls
Yo I killed this with the I'll mind of a sinner rap I wrote.
I've been through different hells it didnt matter if I lost a supper , dont agree with a new other up and commer , I wish I kept getting stronger and didnt give up just one up and coming summer , didnt I live all by these rules I lost them numbers, ,
Volveré por ti
Drimer🤤🎶🎶
Left with out a trace
My DNA is pushing up the bass
Wasting time that’s for those
Who have time to waste
I leave mark of a 1000 Spartans
Carefully choreographing my art
I spit filthy
Only our god can heal me
Wealthy every word
Carefully I observed
Barley turned to hourly they tuned in just to hear me
Now That’s power G
Friends turned to Hennessey enemies A rose sermon for their future
Currently working on a mixtape
Permanent on my earning I’m currently certainly the best
Affirmative action no one in the game is matching
Looking to land another tax bracket
Still broke Hart cold spitting foul now light the flame
You rich that’s cool still I remain
Holding in the pain
Tainted by the Lord in the world we call home I’m rank 1
dope
This is more like a loop.. not a beat really its a melody
Thats how the beat is
This is tight wok. If it's cool, give my work some feedback.
0:20
it’s been a long time since, i heard some real shit,
content getting dryer, i’m not feeling content,
the bars getting weak, same shit as the streets,
treeshes running around, slutty, they spreading disease
0:32
weak in my knees, god i need to breathe
i cant feel my fucking face, all the drugs in my spleen
this shit feels like a dream,
am i alive? am i awake?
fuck this bitch on top of me. how many pills i take?
0:42
fuck, i gotta get my head straight
thc schizo kid, with the take
bnb employee at the lake,
and now i’m feeling like drake
0:54
pulled up to the show, and i’m taking all the cake,
ironic that your girl is first row, but your late
yea, that ass i might have to take
but i’ll never ever tell ya if i knew your gonna rage
hey, that’s my take, but now i’ll hop off, and go back to being great
great ones know it’s not the money or the fame, but respect that isn’t earned that’s gonna hurt you to the grave
you could stress out, while i smoke on slurricane
you gone pass out, if you smoking with me
chilling in dior, but who’s next to me?
italiano twins in the latest fashion
brunette hair, yea it shines in the wind,
come a little closer lemme take you for a spin,
treat your really nice, take you back to the crib
driving la ferrari down the highway for the pics
Who else talking over the beat pretending they spittin shi😂😂
Yup
I see my reflection and its not me
The person that I used to be is dead along time ago
Hope you understand what I'm speaking about
For whoever reads these words thank you
Im signaling for help in secret but they won’t answer
Maybe I’m gonna die like a girl in a alleyway
prayed for better days but the lord tells me to…
Keep going cause I might actually have a chance
To advance in a culture where you can’t be you
But imma riotous man who been in the riots man
fighting Uncle Sam since he asking for half a milli
I see what J Cole meant when you need to meditate
Glad you delt inspired to write this. Keep grinding on your pen game!
