Safe ft. Devans Verse Lyrics

I'm just tryna make it home safe

Look a nigga got no room for Mistakes

You tell me that you don't see color

But you need to see my skin carries Weight

I'm just tryna make it home safe

I know 12 gon run a nigga plates

I just bought a burner in my name Now

You ain't gotta worry yo brain now

Speak of the devil and he shall Appear

Wit a blue squad car in ya rear view Mirror

Now I don't fear much but I know the Facts

That they'll pull me over just for living While black

That's why my heart racing bout to Jump up out my chest

You know a traffic stop for me can Mean certain death

Either for my flesh or either for my Character

Cause they'll plant some dope in my Car and say I'm sellin it

Another melanated man in the prison Pipeline

Mass incarceration is the slavery in Our lifetime

Private prisons squeezing out millions Like a python

The plotters stay plottin

Word to Louis Farrakhan

Yeah I went and bought a gun, and I Got the papers

If 12 try me I'll put the piggy in the Blanket

I gotta have a fighting chance up Against these racists

You say you color blind then this 9 is Ya lasik

Blaooohh

I'm just tryna make it home safe

Look a nigga got no room for Mistakes

You tell me that you don't see color

But you need to see my skin carries Weight

I'm just tryna make it home safe

I know 12 gon run a nigga plates

I just bought a burner in my name Now

You ain't gotta worry yo brain now

This is dedicated to my only nephew

It's been a couple months since your Uncle left you

We spoke on the phone and your Voice is getting deeper

I heard you gettin taller

Mustache gettin darker

I know you wanna grow up fast but Listen

It's some people out there that won't Know the difference

Between a grown ass man and a Teenage kid

And because you brown skinned they Gon view you different

Like a thug and a criminal

Creepin through they livin room

You've become intimidating

They gon try to limit you

And box you in like 2 cars

Remember who you are

We are Kings and queens

Diaspora is so broad

You ain't gotta be hard it's okay to be Smart

It's okay to be gifted

Ya uncle made it livin

Oppression now is systemic

I hate the world is so frigid

If you acquire a billion

They still gon call you a nigga

I'm just tryna make it home safe

I know a lot of my brothers can relate

You tell me that you don't see color

But you need to see my skin carries Weight

I'm just tryna make it home safe

I know 12 gon run a nigga plates

I just bought a burner in my name Now

You ain't gotta worry yo brain now

I can see the way the that you terrorize

But tear gas won't shut my eyes

I can see the way that you terrorize

But tear gas won't shut my eyes

I can see the way that you terrorize

But tear gas won't close my eyes

I can see the way that you terrorize

But no lives matter until black lives

I can see the way that you terrorize

But no lives matter until black lives

I can see the way that you terrorize

But no lives matter until black lives

I can see the way that you terrorize

But no lives matter until black lives

Nooo

No lives matter until black lives

Ya ay

No lives matter until black lives

Ya ay

No lives matter until black lives

Ay ay, ay ay, ay ay
