Thought I was gonna be the good guy
Studied hard
Went to college
Got a good job
But I saw too much
I found out from the sidelines that I was too different to ever hide
So I guess the gig is up
But you won't put my pen down
You can't take my pen now
No, I'm running so fast cause the change never lasts here
Rather be an outlaw living like a nomad
Then to get a dream deferred like 1951
Nope
Time time time
Is running out
I can't spend my life trying to figure simple shit out
Man we built this country why you still trying to shoot us
Take the struggle call it culture
You feel hype yeah you feel like a rebel
Don't you feel wanted
So you feel wanted
I'm still chasing the American Dream
Is it hiding or did it take a plane overseas
Attention passengers when we descend into the new normal
What the fuck is the old normal it ain't never been normal, no
Time time time
Is running out
And you still don't want to address the situation
So I gotta bounce
An exodus to save my self from drowning
Melanin Fresh no I am not pressed but this is a mess
I'm a take my struggle make it culture get you hype bet
You feel like a rebel
Don't you feel wanted
So you feel wanted
Underground since Harriet
Y'all ain't gonna bury us
Underground since
I have a question why you try to do Beyonce like that?
Oh you know I gotta go and ex-pat
