09XXI - Enough

Never let them get the best of me cause they don't deserve it
Black souls rest in peace many times we heard it, but
Enough is enough, enough is enough
Enough is enough, enough is enough
How is it, no weapon formed against me shall prosper
When the weapon sworn to protect thee get hostile
Death sentence over bill you thought was doctored
Telling us to stay docile while melanin could really cost you
Gang signs got nothing on the blue badge
Cold blooded murder with audacity to ask us why you mad
Casually counting casualties with no indictment like new math
Fraternity of injustice, luxury only you have
Shame police killing the innocent and civilians looting is seen as one in the same
Expression of frustration making sure innocence never dies in vain
You saw knee to the field as an attempt for fame
But a knee to the neck as civil duty while ignoring the cries of pain
Malcom rolling in the grave, look
We damned either way so let it all go up in flames
Scammed when they played land of the free home of the brave
Fam I see snakes, cops using bodies practicing spiteful aim
Plan for your mistakes as fires rise in all this rightful rage
Never let them get the best of me cause they don't deserve it
Black souls rest in peace many times we heard it, but
Enough is enough, enough is enough
Enough is enough, enough is enough
Never let them get the best of me cause they don't deserve it
Black souls rest in peace many times we heard it, but
Enough is enough, enough is enough
Enough is enough, enough is enough
Thoughts since I was juvenile, pick and choose
Grateful for the ones before me that juked the Nile, stick and move
Nowadays media in denial that I been getting profiled
Like it's in style to celebrate a system so vile, pick and shoot
Life is an hour glass I'm petrified trapped in the sinking sand used to hurt us
Time running out they gentrify culture on this stolen land where they murder
Hands up don't stand up for your people my interest in the way that you earn trust
That's a mentality focused on salary and the vision used to burn us
Turn us, return us
To the times we were 3/5ths of sapien
Aliens in simultaneous search for an alias
That could convince the craziest atheist to change their beliefs
Speculating deity cuz of the level of survival that we reached
But that's still a dream, I'm talking Martin Luther
Chasing after uncertain future, where we recognize we all equal
And if everything is everything and nothing's really nothing at all
I spend my days avoiding the thought of how the sun will surely fall
Never let them get the best of me cause they don't deserve it
Black souls rest in peace many times we heard it, but
Enough is enough, enough is enough
Enough is enough, enough is enough
Never let them get the best of me cause they don't deserve it
Black souls rest in peace many times we heard it, but
Enough is enough, enough is enough
Enough is enough, enough is enough
