They Say

[Intro] They say, they say grey is the new black [Verse 1] Too many fake, too many lie, too many blot Too many jealous, too many want what others got A lot of poor, a lot of rich, what is the gift? In order to eat we taking war, hell of a risk The other side, the grass is greener than kush Shot the nose of the Sphinx but didn't leave it in Kush Used our history against us, the liquor store that they put In the hood got lines everyday in front of it, look Mira, ass-shots on a chica Shit is up to our nostrils, started out knee high You see why it's fuck the government, a free mind Can travel wherever, even allow you to see blind Was behind, still feel like I'm catching up Had a decline, caught in the lies they gave to us Who were we before slaves? Kings and queens We had 'em before Jay: dynasties But they can't hide the son from the mother, we know the voice The vibration'll make us make a, make a better choice Thought they was dropping jewels like bird shit But one ear, out the other, inside them words went [Hook:] x2 I don't care what they used to say I don't care what they used to say They hate but they should pray for me They don't know me or my destiny [Verse 2:] It amazes me how you all are scared to lead While you're waiting for your savior, he lives in me While you're waiting for your savior, he lives in you But knowing they crucify those who speak the truth Got you hesitant, I guess cause you all fear death But won't know until you see, see for yourself A little easier for me, I met the Grim Reaper Refused to go, he said, "To stay, you gotta teach 'em" Compromise a little and they say that you're reaching To each its own, but be careful where you lead them They said, "Do this, do that," but I ain't listen Was told follow my soul, either that, or be a victim These niggas are followers following other followers Street account verified, should block all of you They used to say I wasn't, started calling what I was It ain't about who he is, it's about what he does What you saying? [Hook] They hate but they should pray for me
