state we in - reason lyrics

[intro]
soul

[verse 1]
look, i’ve been tryin’ to enjoy the process
i write these words, tryin’ to fight temptation
to spittin’ ratchet quotes and picture unsuccessful athlete coachin’
i don’t belong here
helpin’ n-gg-s that ain’t even half me
boastin’ ’bout how they deal what i never could
i’m past these moments, i was told, “enjoy the process”
’cause when it’s over, man, that gr-ss keep growin’
the clock keeps scrollin’
tryin’ to live in this moment, i need to thrive in it
f-ck cannonballin’, i’m tryin to dive in it
inspire generations with every line written
give it that new school bounce
stay patient, gotta make sure they f-ck with it
and sharpen lines like knives, so now it stuck with ’em
feel like the best comin’
too many blessin’s comin’ to be stressin’ somethin’
i take the bad when i’m writin and do some breast reductions
it’s so much to get up off my chest
but that’s when i flow best
i paint pictures of what they goin’ through
these words is art galleries
white hoes searchin’ for good d-ck and some salary
black women hopin’ you don’t fall in love with valerie
and they wonder why color means so much
like, d-mn, i ain’t a k!ller, but don’t push me
pushin’ is when my brother get popped over new j’s and a hoodie
tryin’ to stay strong
my biggest fear is my future son bein’ trayvon or me eric garner
they murder me, then blame him for not havin’ a father
and now his mother stuck
he go to school while she struggle to keep the fundin’ up
he miss his dad, no wonder his grades f-ckin’ up
this sh-t ain’t real

[chorus]
look at the state we in
look at the state we in, look at the state we in
look at the state we in
look at the state we in, look at the state we in
look at the state we in
look at the state we in, look at the state we in
look at the state we in
look at the state we in

[bridge]
now i say, “one time for my n-gg-s that be holdin’ they own
two times for the independent women that’s strong
and three times ’cause she strong enough to be a mother
four times ’cause my n-gg-s made it through a summer”
i swear it’s hot out here
look at the state we in
look at the state we in
look at the state we in
i swear it’s hot out here
look at the state we in
look at the state we in

[verse 2]
now she either want a n-gg- so bad ’cause she scared to be alone
that she think any n-gg- is a blessing
or she go out every single night lookin’ right, poppin’ p-ssy
then wonder why he never popped the question
swear she climb a mountain for that
a family and a ring, she was countin’ on that
she cryin’, emotion spillin’, ain’t no bounty for that
you gotta understand, in this state, you ain’t good for another man
she climbin’ in and out the pain more than bruh man
sh-t, from the fifth floor, came from bein’ p-ss poor
all i want is designer sh-t
“if it ain’t gold, i don’t want it”
that’s the motto, man
i been a slave to the material things
not really realizin’ what material brings
a lot of n-gg-s around see future millions and think
that i want somethin’
all this work, i don’t owe a n-gg- nothin’
i’ve been slavin’, n-gg-
this path that i’m walkin’, i sear i paved it, n-gg-
it’s not a game, my n-gg-
i did all the little things, tryin’ to make it bigger
and i took care of home first
how the f-ck you say you made a n-gg-?
sh-t been crazy
and this the state i see
losin’ legends, r.i.p. to the great ali
who got a shake in, even in politics
just think of magic, who knew a no-look p-ss could cure hiv?
that’s real

[chorus]
look at the state we in
look at the state we in, look at the state we in
look at the state we in, look at the state we in
look at the state we in, look at the state we in
look at the state we in, look at the state we in
look at the state we in, look at the state we in

[outro]
now i say, “one time for my n-gg-s that be holdin’ they own
two times for the independent women that’s strong
and three times ’cause she strong enough to be a mother
four times ’cause my n-gg-s made it through a summer”
it’s been hot outside
rest in peace to all my n-gg-s
yeah
