No Apologies

[Intro] [Verse 1] I ain't sorry for not giving up Look where I ended up But being humble for so long Pushed me to the point that i don't give a fuck Sacrificed half my life, while niggas was living good Thinking, "If I got so much talent, why the fuck I'm in the hood?" No sympathy for none of these niggas, no compassion Try to hold me back; this payback, my satisfaction I think about all these shows and the promoters that try to ho us And to my soldiers: thank god we ain't give up like they told us See, bitch niggas praying for my downfall Smiling in my face, that's why I stay the fuck from around y'all Fake niggas acting like we cool cause they know I rap Then they turn around and call me fake cause I ain't act like I know them back My status changed, but I didn't They fuck me over and just move on like I ain't 'posed to remember This to my folks that held me down, I'ma hold you down till my casket drop Hell nah, I can't stop; haters, just sit back and watch And they know that I got [Hook] No apologies these days No apologies these days No apologies these days No apologies these days [Verse 2] Broke as fuck, sitting up Dreaming about the days, that i will be paid Reminiscing on all of the days My momma would slave Ate the same shit for six days and never complained "Least you eating something," was the food that's feeding my brain Went to private school, but it was fucked up here where i stayed Sacrifice my mom made to make sure my tuition was paid Hood niggas jealous cause they thinking I'm better than them Kids at school talk like i ain't on the same level as them Fucked up, confused and hurt The home of the brave, where bullets get sprayed Two yards away from where little kids play Till this day it's the same shit Ain't nothing changed Not from no hoping or no slogan, or no fucking campaign Come and visit where i grew up at You would swear to god this where the atomic bomb blew up at I tell em fuck what you think about my history Cause half these niggas mad about what they think I had And don't know half, so kiss my ass and i got [Hook] No apologies these days No apologies these days No apologies these days No apologies these days [Verse 3] It's like: my cousin died, granny died, Mani died; ain't quit Laid my head down at night, gunfire; can't quit Poverty across the globe, identical, same shit But if it ain't affecting us, we acting like it ain't shit In the days where we care more about the presentation than the information That's why we'll go to a concert before a demonstration This ain't 'bout my people, y'all people Homie, this for all people So y'all don't forget the fact we are people A life is priceless worth more than gas prices Ain't trying to be righteous, but it shouldn't take death to unite us I don't vote so don't ask, let's get it clear Cause no matter who the president, my city gets worse every motherfucking year See, we feel like we ain't got no voice Cause believe we in these conditions by design and not by choice And this the real news, I'm just reporting what I'm seeing I'm speaking for the people, if you looking for the reason, I got [Hook] No apologies these days No apologies these days No apologies these days No apologies these days
