Section 8 housing, dousing our hatred in liqour

I saw the bigger picture in a microscope, how do you cope?

With being black in America, color over character 

Breaking the barriers, Bernard Berrian the way my brothers running the pack

Terrell Davis the way my brothers running it back, only facts

I only act as if life gone be alright cause they prey on the weak, I ain't prayed in some weeks

Trained since I was young Agoge, I won't catch no fade, still trying to get paid

Money is the root of all evil separated my people, told you I ain't equal

Still screaming I don't need you

Searching for a new life but I aint Hindu

What did he do to get shot, was he selling brown or baggin up that white girl

It don't matter with this badge and gun, this is my world

I only ask you bless the babies

 

Lord if you can't save me then please bless the babies

I know that they aiming but if they miss then please bless the babies

Im down on my knees I ask and I plead that you please bless the babies 

 

He who is blameless cast the first stone, atoned for my sins, died for my sins

Separated by our skin its more than aceepting us in your stores or saying we can drink from your fountain

I'm from the mountain all white neighborhood in 60s till niggas started movin our presence depreciated the the value

Tired to contain us Jeremiah Attaochu, boxed in, kill em with the toxins

Serving poison to your own is extermination

Provokes the annihilation of our culture

Allowing the vulture pick us clean of our diginity

So excuse me if I'm not for fuckery, skullduggery carried on for way to long 

Trapped us in this gritty little city where you can never seem to change your wrongs

Its the same song different tunes

 

Lord if you can't save me then please bless the babies

I know that they aiming but if they miss bless the babies

I'm down on my knees I ask and I plead that you please bless the babies
