Stay Focused (feat. Tyler Martell & Darryl Deshawn)

Gather round all you boys and girls Here's a story about growing up in the world Being black gotta struggle and we gotta fight See they shoot us in the back when we jog in they sight They try to claim self-defense but we know It's a lie Gotta fend for ourselves if we tryna get by Waken up contemplatin' will I stay alive Cause others in this world hate to see us survive They profile us when we walk in the door Got they eyes glued upon us as we walk in the store Got they knee up on our neck and we begging to breathe Begging please our family gotta mourn and grieve Cuz we died upon the pavement looking what we facing This world is full of crooks and they throw us in the basement Living a life of freedom is the goal we steady chasin Our heart is steadily racing our mom and dad be pacing Cuz they wonder and they worry get home in a hurry He was only 17 but to others he was blurry Just another black man taken in an instant Saying we resemble just another misprint We get judged by the tone of our skin What the hell did we do wrong when did this begin Im'ma stand my ground I'm a never give in I got kids growing up man this shit need to end They can't put me out my misery Put me out my misery Put me out my misery misery Misery Thought they had the best of me Thought they had the best of me Can't put me out my misery misery Misery I'm upset Being hunted by those that was sent to protect us The justice system always seem to neglect us If it's not sports or music then they tend to forget us Your whole body weights on my neck I am not resisting arrest I've got a family at home and they waiting on me Why treat me differently than the rest Humans turning into hashtags Racism is a part of the past That's all-cap We see it on video they ignore the fact We talk about stacks so let's talk about the stats Apparently I'm a threat to a society They wanna silence me Take away my privacy Vilify me But the irony is they want what I got Appropriating culture But won't stand for the block They can't put me out my misery Put me out my misery Put me out my misery misery Misery Thought they had the best of me Thought they had the best of me Can't put me out my misery misery Misery Lately I been trynna float around Head on swivel every time I'm out Every time I look they bugging out They just wanna see a nigga down Wanna see my brothers in the ground Wanna see my uncles in the ground Wanna see ya pops in the ground It's a lot of bullets flying around Pop pop pop pop And they still get away free Now I'm blamed for the tension in me But I'm wrong if I try to release Got my 3rd eye on What it is what it ain't Everything wrong is in the picture you paint Yellow tape the scene cuz you scared what you say No weapon out but you paint what you paint I see They can't put me out my misery Put me out my misery Put me out my misery misery Misery Thought they had the best of me Thought they had the best of me Can't put me out my misery misery Misery
