King Kopa - Martyrs Live Forever (feat. Drae Nice) Lyrics

Homie don't run from this
I'm just giving you the real
Look at this world now you tell me how to feel
We got the freedom but what happened to the time?

Premature premonitions
See my death, it was written
Imma go down like a Martyr for what I'm representing
You know like Malcolm x
Martin Luther king
See I could make a killing way before I see the dream
I'm Tryna do this clean
If you know what I mean
As a leader, I'm just tryna lead you to the stream
This knowledge is active
Don't get distracted
They put these fancy phones in your face, it's a tactic
Now you blind to the truth our people getting blasted
But all you care about it's what trending, Latest fashion
You don't know that Trump is a puppet
A distraction
That's all the president really is
An attraction
They using this figurehead to keep us from being unified
They fear the day where we stand for justice for you and I
Keep us at war, fighting over galore
Promotion of greed got my people fighting the lord
Realize, that you means you serve the devil
So who gone drive for you when you go hit that pedal
Masked up screaming them hitters like heavy metal
Make you love the devil, your favorite rapper Geppetto uh
Think for yourself
Not who you look up to
These famous men were made from sin just like me and you
And stop the hate amongst each other cause we all can fly
If we can learn to love each other less of us would die
But they don't want that, they want to see us clap back
This system ain't for us so they flood our hoods with the white crack
Lock us up for dope, they making sure we don't come back
When all my brothers want to do is take our mommas from that
I'm just a brother tryna take my family from that
Out the hood
I know I should
But I ain't got it I dream of the day I could
We trapped but act like it's normal it's all good

Homie don't run from this
I'm just giving you the real
Look at this world now you tell me how to feel
My country hate my kind, you don't see it, then you blind
I'm just tryna see the day
Where we shine
We got the freedom but what happened to the time?
Yeah uh, we want to shine too
Pass out the reparations let my people shine through
Tryna change the culture let my people shine too

I wonder could the violence ever stop
At least amongst each other
All ya thugs go get the cops
Cause they the ones that's killing us targeting our people
Blue lives matter more than the lives of my people, We ain't equal
I look up on the news I see another boy dead
Or Shot up in the head, shorties stabbed him in his neck
Devil call collect, demons go and pick up the check
My feelings in a wreck, so much pain that's on my chest
I saw the flier with that girl that went missing
The world is full of pervs, cowards I don't get it
You prey up on the innocent, for your pleasure
God forgive me Imma hit them with this barretta
I'm the guiding angel, fighting, for youth
You prey up on the youth I might kill you and that's the truth
I just want to see the future kids, prosper
Teach 'em to duck, dodge, and weave, like a boxer
Cause this world gone throw its jabs just got to counter
I counter with this song my brothers the world is ours
We got the power
Power to make change
That's what I'm tryna do cause it's driving me insane
My neighborhood be like another lost story
I want to be the man that brought the hood into glory
But if I do just know that they gone try to kill me
Label me a martyr I hope that they all feel me

Homie don't run from this
I'm just giving you the real
Look at this world, now you tell me how to feel
My country hate my kind, you don't see it, then you blind
I'm just tryna see the day. where we shine
We got the freedom but what happened to the time?
Yeah uh, we wanna shine too
Pass out the reparations let my people shine through
Tryna change the culture let my people shine too
