about

"This song was my way of dealing with conflicting emotions about everything going on and all this hatred we have to deal with. I'm usually conflicted because now a days no matter your intention things can be taken the wrong way if you not careful how you say it. I just started feeling helpless with all these killings and my surroundings that ive unfortunately gotten used to. After pondering for like 4 days damn near in complete silence I made this as a release. Mick Jenkins blessed with an fire ass verse and thats how this song came to be." - Kipp Stone

lyrics

If I'ma break the silence
piggy stir the pot you know we marinate in violence
seen that fear in predicate felons
when they behind us you celebrate
them suckas that serenaded your honor
surrogate racism 2020
reaganomics a broken record broke with a record
retired football jersey digit assigned to yo likenesses
justified self-righteous evil a child wit a lifer
one of them institutionalized the other entitled
get that baby a burger and fries he not homicidal
step right up get yo skittles signed placed yo bid on a rifle
that’s a fuckin shame
going numb don’t make you tough at all
it’s really sayin I been hurt so much I’d rather never feel anything
can’t deflect that shit wit black on black
the block so packed
wit black n****s tryna make a stack
throw a steak inside the cage well for now we call it crack
and if nobody else around then we’ll just black on black
let’s count the crimes against humanity
tell me that now who should really be afraid
was yo great great grandmother born a slave
was yo whip or yo residence ever sprayed
was the people you posed to call when it happen
turn to borderline assassin
assuming they ever came
baptized in the flame
put aspirin in applesauce and n****s still in pain
heroin belt treatment done chilled my veins
if you don’t treat it like crack then you can’t feel my pain
aw now it’s a sickness
tell that to a baby wit crack in his system
no rehabilitation momma got trapped in the system
they had to beat the odds
5 tax bracket ascensions
you went to war wit n****s ok now who the victim?
now can you say that over beats?
to whom it may concern the fertile mind wit latent seed
that blossom wide cuz they keep this kinda shit on repeat
and question everything from college to g.o.d
from politics by profession to politics on the streets
and where the policy meet
yo honesty need receipts
so that’s why they never speak
that quiet n***a was me
young black and invisible
under influence
overthinking shit

Said I can’t feel sometimes shit get too real I can’t feel sometimes naw shit get to real yeah shit get too real sometimes
