Bad Mutha
I was sold
On a dream, I was told
Hard work change lives if you dedicated
For a minute I was so sedated
While my people self-medicated
Talkin bout money they ain't never makin'
Lovin' the attention they ain't never paid
When everything we want up for the takin'
I don't think you understand what we go through
Cause we been up
And we been down
We don't give up we go through
Reminding you we don't have nothing to lose
Cause one of my dreams is seeing true love intervene
When hate always been the divide
When was it great can you tell me the time
But you only speakin' for you
You was eating good while feedin' us lies
Cause you only care about you
You killing us
You're a smooth criminal
So hard to trust ya
Cause you a bad muthafucka
You killing us
You're a smooth criminal
You a hater not a lover
Cause you a bad muthafucka
Melanin
Whole lotta melanin
You don't wanna see us win
Try to keep my people inside with no bail
Who we gon tell
Probably not twelve
Serve no protection on the southside
Better off protectin' ourselves
We don't belong to a space
Where we can be who we are
Don't wanna live in the dark
I just wanna make it home
Sometimes I don't wanna be alone
But how do I know if the truth gon stand
If I don't pull out my phone
When was it great can you tell me the time
But you only speakin' for you
You was eating good while feedin' us lies
Cause you only care about you
You killing us
You're a smooth criminal
So hard to trust ya
Cause you a bad muthafucka
You killing us
You're a smooth criminal
You a hater not a lover
Cause you a bad muthafucka
You a bad mutha shut yo mouth
