Forward ft. Denaun Lyrics

Save

Save us

I fear

We're weak

I'm in this world on my own, mama

I know you warned me that this world could be so cold, mama

'Cause in our homes it ain't safe to drink our own water

They told me put my hands up, but I don't wanna, no

I can't help, but feel weak

But we gotta be stronger

Gotta keep moving forward

From redlining to lines read by these white kids

I was fed Ramen, now rhyming off the noodle's my sphere

and said "guidance" provided; they stole our ideas

400 dark years? Ahead of our time, turned that to lightyears

Damn, I swear, everything we do is top tier

Like crying before the drop of a rollercoaster, but it's not fair

Dying from the pop of a loaded toaster when you block bred

Might lose my composure when I don't go to what Allah said

Shaytan'll tell you the truth, with a bunch of lies said

They gone only sell us the truth if motives abiding

No matter the choice of poll, in the booth, we still get divided

I had to compromise, can't just cover I like an eyelid

So I did, but saw no change, just a bunch of nonsense

To keep it a hundred, I had to do like, 5 paradigm shifts

But when I saw that fork in the road I went straight

had to learn from the Jays, Royce da 5'9s and the Nases

I got this, now Samad is here to clear the air from these imposters

It got too toxic. We don't have a care to fear a cop's clip

We like an octave, we above 12

If we combine and protect our lives then, we can help self

We are not defeated, Black Panthers, Tulsa, Rosewood

So many times we've been impeded

Now we got technology and Black Wall Street can be completed

We gonna plant seeds that'll become trees when we deceased

Even if we don't see it

So black babies ain't got a relate to this hook when I sing it

I'm in this world on my own, mama

I know you warned me that this world could be so cold, mama

'Cause in our homes it ain't safe to drink our own water

They told me put my hands up, but I don't wanna, no

I can't help, but feel weak

But we gotta be stronger

Gotta keep moving forward

See, they got it all, but they ask for more

Then we give it all in the ask for more

They say this opportunity is yours

Then turn around and close the door

And it ain't enough that I'm walking a thin line

With brick shoes in a minefield

I could tell you 1 million times, but your empathy can't align

Cause you ain't really from round here

Now from the baddest of the poor to the core of the codefendant

Little children left to reap what we sow with no dependence

Overextending and mortgage is due and there's no mention

Of help and so essential that it's felt in their appendix

That's why when the rules are thrown at these youngins

They dare to bend it

There's no hindrance that can contend with their attention

Cause they're the descendants of strength

See lil babies rich off pain, they ain't trained

Off the rip, we blame them when they offend, though we sin

See, they mad them kids in the city, pity for us? No

They say tough titty when 12 get too litty and

Pull them itchy finger triggers woah

Then goes another kindred soul

This is freedom verse control

This is Pape v. Monroe, I doubt that they'll be reasonable

I don't see them as friend before

I don't see them mentioning all the people that they kill before

Hope these men repent their souls, God reveals and will expose

One things for certain and two things for sure, I know we won't fold

Even though

I'm in this world on my own, mama

I know you warned me that this world could be so cold, mama

'Cause in our homes it ain't safe to drink our own water

They told me put my hands up, but I don't wanna, no

I can't help, but feel weak

But we gotta be stronger

Gotta keep moving forward

Lord save

Save us

I fear

We're weak

Lord save

Save us

I fear

We're weak
