They tell me I don't know but my home's gone
They tell me I don't know hope is what I hold on
They tell me I don't know
They tell me I don't know
They tell me I don't know
But I hold strong
They tell me I don't know but my home's gone
They tell me I don't know that I've done wrong
They tell me that I'm broke
They tell me it's a joke
They tell me I don't know but no high hope's gone

As you try to sell me notions I try to quell these emotions
Of anger and anguish imagine all the pain that I've vanquished
They tell me I don't know sh!t that's bullsh!t I know this
The struggle is real with a full clip
My downfall's always been some ho b!tch
That thinks she amounts to something more than the lips on her pussy and both tits
Let her go with one finger from both fists
Had enough I won't sit standing up for those who suffer
They sayin remain silent hands up as they close in
In an instance innocents died bullets were flying time was frozen
Ain't stayin silent non compliant my mind is open
Families lost close kin caskets open
To words that'll never be spoken hearts broken
Open their mouths to speak but start choking
Tears roll down their cheeks
"It's a sad day"
That's what the government's told them
When walking the streets I look both ways
Things it seems they don't change
Triggers and killers are comin from both lanes
Only difference and major significance is 25 to life in a cage
Or a "full pension and suspension with full pay"
Collecting a cheque to serve and protect
And you think you deservin respect "you don't say"
"okay"
To this day I remain wildin on the range I stay violent
I ain't doing what they taught me it became a mindset
That's why there's riots in the streets and violence at it's peak
It's old news like music with violins
Look around at the eyes met
To find that history repeats as the time ticks
And we wonder why still ain't nobody surprised yet
Disguised with sitting here in the mirror and I f#cking despise it

They tell me I don't know but my home's gone
They tell me I don't know hope is what I hold on
They tell me I don't know
They tell me I don't know
They tell me I don't know
But I hold strong
They tell me I don't know but my home's gone
They tell me I don't know that I've done wrong
They tell me that I'm broke they tell me it's a joke
They tell me I don't know but no high hope's gone

I've been broken beaten and battered stabbed and went back at it
Addicted to coke and crack and my hope was in acting as if that mattered
My attention was open to anyone who was showing
Hopeless romantic I'm choked and cannot stand it
When my love has been broken and not understanding
How someone takes that for granted
My hand it was open
Momma left me abandoned and broken
On this planet I'm no one
I know everything about feeling panicked and frozen
I look in the mirror like how the f#ck could this man have been chosen
Only homies I've known they gone and they lost though
Only homies I've known gotten me over them crossroads
I don't know if you know or you won't or you might care
Living lonely home is a nightmare
Dreaming of hope seeing the demons are right here
Feeling alright here like silence screaming I fight fear
Coping with dope high as a kite now I'm living my life clear
Giv'em a chance to show up and show'em new memories
As a father who never abandoned his daughters
Turn me crazy to save my babies as annoying as thought is
At a boiling point I put my hand in the water
Turn it to fire then stand in it hotter
I'd Sacrifice life if it's one more breath that I bought em

They tell me I don't know but my home's gone
They tell me I don't know hope is what I hold on
They tell me I don't know
They tell me I don't know
They tell me I don't know
But I hold strong
They tell me I don't know but my home's gone
They tell me I don't know that I've done wrong
They tell me that I'm broke they tell me it's a joke
They tell me I don't know but no high hope's gone

I'm hyper as life is I'm like a lighter I light sh!t
The f#ck up b!tch you never knew what the f#ck
So shut the f#ck up b!tch it wasn't you that I struck
Cause you just knew when to duck slip
I never knew who to trust and you just knew when to suck d!ck
It wasn't love it was lust got two years with the cuffs
Busted must it
Never come to an end
Forgotten and all with the struggle I'm in
Now I'm sitting here like the pieces of a puzzle again
And I'll never get to put them together
The weather now I see cloudy like a f#cking storm in my mind
You made me think clearly nearly reformed with a shine
Listen sit near me here me through the past four minutes time
I've confessed yes I should've took the storm as a sign
I bet since we've met yep I've checked lightnings flashed
And f#cking thunders formed in the skies
This b!tch was probably even born a surprise
If you look closely it wasn't pussy it was skin torn in her thighs
But f#ck it I'm over it now
My thoughts ain't staggered no more I get them to form in a line
But they still tell me I don't know

They tell me I don't know but my home's gone
They tell me I don't know hope is what I hold on
They tell me I don't know
They tell me I don't know
They tell me I don't know
But I hold strong
They tell me I don't know but my home's gone
They tell me I don't know that I've done wrong
They tell me that I'm broke
They tell me it's a joke
They tell me I don't know but no high hope's gone
