Wait a minute
Capitalism and prison systems, I can't tell the difference
Meanwhile
I'm too busy bigging up my people
Encouraging them to speak loud
We the leaders of the leaders
Marsha Ambrosius, the Floetry Jill Scott, so golden
And I'm happy you here now
You can tell your grandchild
You made love to this, how they here now
'Cause I'm proud
Just control the crowd and we got it
I'm sharing with you, the things that I found
You claiming that you understand
But I doubt it, I doubt it
I doubt it, yeah
Alright, let me check that, hmm, yeah
Jesus Christ, societal pressure
They got us grieving for life
I can still hear them reading my rights
Carding me 'cause my skin ain't white, huh
This is that Beverly Glenn Copeland
How'd I get this far, patience
The backbone to our families
Fighting for whoever needing a hand
'Cause the plan is to
To show them I'm proud
Just control the crowd and we got it
I'm sharing with you the things that I found
You claiming though you understand
But I doubt it, I doubt it
I doubt it, yeah
I doubt it
Here we go
I'm too used to being violent
Band of brothers, a code of silence
Just tryna get outta that was a challenge
It takes two to tango
I can't blame it on my surroundings
Doubt
That I wouldn't change a thing if you reroute it
All I know is if you keep the conversation going
And address what needs to be addressed
To the press and never stress
Because you gotta stay proud
Just control the crowd and we got it
I'm sharing with you the things that I found
You claiming though you understand, but we doubt it
Baby, we doubt it
Baby, we doubt it
Baby, we doubt it
We doubt it
We doubt it
