[Hook: Wale]
I got my family
And I got my squad
And as long as they got me
Then I’ll be just fine
So I give God the glory
Cause I have my child
And America don’t want me
That’s when I realized
That we on it, yeah
A reason to smile
I said we on it, yeah
A reason to smile
Said about to be O.D.’d, yeah
But we gon’ survive
That’s why we on it
A reason to smile
[Verse 1: Wale]
An impossible bigot slash misogynist is ’bout to run the whole damn thing
(Bout to run the whole damn thing)
And the ballot my sister filled in
In another city didn’t do a god-damn thing
[Bridge: Wale]
sh*t Imma go crazy yeah
Imma go crazy yeah
Imma go crazy yeah
But I gotta do my god-damn thing
[Verse 2: Wale]
The Alt Rights hate us
Some back baby mommas hate us
We only learn half of the drama, other side crazy
On behalf of Charlamange I’m sure he ain’t trading sides
Maybe I should meet Tami Lauren, I’ll Lauryn Hill her
Trainor, she miseducated anyway
Prolly hate the color of my face
I’m just a young black rapping ass African
Ain’t never wanted to have it and now he has it his own way
I’m smoking purple, the law enforcement be murking brothers
The moon lit and I’m (?)
Its like you got a curse if your currency low
The world is a dirty f**king experiment
They don’t care if its hurting us
Black lives matter, ’cause black lives soccer practice
Can’t even imagine what would happen without phone cameras
Black lives matter, black love the dopest ever
Just wanna remind you, I think its time (?)

Said about to be O.D.’d, yeah
But we gon’ survive
Giving knowledge and uplifting our brothers and daughters
Is how this whole thing change
(Is how this whole thing change)
But the power that’s in the pussy or the dollar
Is enough to make us all insane
[Bridge]
sh*t Imma go crazy yeah
Imma go crazy yeah
Imma go crazy yeah
But I gotta do my god-damn thing
[Verse 3: Phil Ade]
And I’ve been living like I got one
A couple hundred on me, still in the gold shotgun
You do the most, stop son
Our people not exempt
They in the land of the free
You in the land of free to an extent
f**k that, Imma ruffle some feathers
Mess with the temperature, shuffle the weather
f**k whoever (?)
Beef is whatever
Kill me, you die and I live forever
When you live without fear
It don’t get much better
Naw, hmm
Look at how far we done come
Look at the world we inspired
And look at the stars that we brung
They think that when that little big with starts that we done
They think because Hillary lost the cards will be Trump
You out you mind nigga
