Second Chances LIVE at The Complex, SF Lyrics

Feels like a second chance

Everytime I turn on the news

A Black American man killed

They tied him the noose

Feels like a second chance

That man just could've been me

Feels like a second chance

The 24 hours I breathe

This shit is not addin up

Body count is just addin up

Are Motherfuckers not aware enough

Or Motherfuckers not care enough

I believe it seems to be the latter

Seems to be a 400 year struggle

Building in this country

Since emancipation

Time for reparations

I've been on code with my people

It's time we go get up

Collect on the government's dues

Anything else is distraction

I don't got no time for no bullshit

You talkin we movin

I've been on That to the T

Pay with a capital P

I wear my heart on my sleeve

ADOS in my genes

I know we destined to lead

(All of these legends in me)

that's right

If George Floyd had a second chance

He'd be hearin this

If Breonna Taylor had a second chance

She'd be hearin this

If Ahmaud Arbery had a second chance

He would fuck with this

A white supremacist system

That was built to crush our necks

Who is next

You can't even trust your common sense

This is something you should comprehend

Reparations that's the only chance

I'm sick and tired of the symbolisms

Did 44 even try to fix it?

There was Jim Crow

There was Tulsa

We were redlined

We've been locked out

And built the richest country

Feels like a second chance

Everytime I turn on the news

Black American man killed

They tied him the noose

Feels like a second chance

That man just could've been me

Feels like a second chance

The 24 hours I breathe

I've been on code with my people

It's time we go get up

Collect on the government's dues

Anything else is distraction

I don't got no time for no bullshit

You talkin we movin

I've been on That to the T

Pay with a capital P

I wear my heart on my sleeve

ADOS in my genes

All of my legends in me

that's right

Feels like a second chance

I don't get another chance

Everytime I call my parents

Feels like the last glance

I've been runnin out of time

Walkin on a thin line

Trigger fingers with the 9

Pointin right on my mind

If they gon try to kill us anyways

Might as well fight for somethin

And I'm damn sure not gonna let it happen

And I wind up dead for nothin

I believe it that's our biggest battle

Seems to be a 400 year struggle

Building in this country

Since emancipation

Time for reparations

I've been on code with my people

It's time we go get up

Collect on the government's dues

Anything else is distraction

I don't got no time for no bullshit

You talkin we movin

I've been on That to the T

Pay with a capital P

I wear my heart on my sleeve

ADOS in my genes

All of my legends in me

that's right
