lyrics

Yeah yeah
Yeah, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah x3

(Verse 1)
Life is short and money long
I swear I couldn’t relate
Acting extra now I’ve gone and got a bigger plate
Never forgetting where I’m from life below living wage
Now I’m step into the sun i sweat in finna bake
You got something precious bet you best hold onto it
Don’t forsake it for a dollar keep your common sense
Why the suffering happens most among the darkest skin?
This is something I will never ever comprehend

(Chorus)
oh yeah yeah yeah, oh yeah x3


Feeling twisted in my tongue but it’s a feeling chase
If it don’t sit well in my bones then imma hesitate
These days i’m learning to say no so i can liberate
Make my yeses much more potent cuz i dig in deep
I been testing all my edges and my own limits
They neglected all our stresses let’s be honest here
The rebellion better be our main prerogative
Cuz effectively we all get kicked up outta here

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)

I wish it was much mo easy for us to be comfortable
In our own skin why we comin at each other’s throats
All the judgements because we don’t know where we finna go
so we stumbling into each other in the undertow
Humble ourselves in the presence of higher
The other itself is illusion great divider
All of our wealth just depends what we provide her
Earth is our shelter how the world is full of liars

(Chorus)
