Asteroids ft. Esselle Lyrics

I'm over thirty years old and still scared of police sirens

Everyday my people struggle with police violence

It's a reality I wish wouldn't see

But the fact is that I feel way safer when overseas

In foreign country felt like they really loved me

I got back and all the cops wanted to do is snuff me

Look, you telling me it's coo to die for this shit

But y'all hate that I'm alive for this shit

Hella brutal, but

I gotta live for my niggas who couldn't get this far

My cousin Tyree spent years looking through prison bars

I hope my boy Pac is doing much better

Cause I wouldn't know, I can't even send my bro a letter

It hurts, tell me bro was it worth

Everything you did was cause you out ya family first

Shit you do as father, when you low on dollars

Held up a bodega to get some food for ya daughter

Man sometimes the sky falls

Sometimes my daddy don't understand me

There's a war

Sometimes the sky falls

And shit is crazy

There's a war outside and the shit is crazy

I said this shit is crazy

Sometimes the skies get gray and the shit is hazy

It's like asteroids

In the sky

Check

I swear I'm tired of this shit

Nowadays my brothas dying just to try to exist

Try to mask all the stressin', but get a faster progression

Now we passive aggressive but let me ask you question

They already hate niggas, but why do niggas hate niggas

Black brothers different color flags blastin' a trigger

Go figure, it's a thing with self love we gotta prove

Everybody wants a movement but nobody wants to move

The stories of a good kid just kept some bad company

The gang gang types that bang wit such redundancy

Generational thuggery it's already written

In summary, he's taught to keep that thang tucked underneath

A rock and a hard place of patience and doubt

Stayin' low on your money and hope you makin' it out

When the cops tryna get you and being black is the issue

Step outside and then reality hits you

Man sometimes the sky falls

Sometimes my daddy don't understand me

There's a war

Sometimes the sky falls

And shit is crazy

There's a war outside and the shit is crazy

I said this shit is crazy

Sometimes the skies get gray and the shit is hazy

It's like asteroids

In the sky
