Make It Home

We all live and die
We fight so long to rise against the pain
Too much bloodshed on our streets
We wash our hands, we're dripped in rain
Tryna make it home (Gotta make it home)
Tryna make it home tonight
(Gotta get back home) gotta make it home
Gotta make it home tonight

Jones i be thinking' bout 'Pac
If he could see this shit (I miss you, 'Pac)
He'd probably say we lack a little leadership
(You right) who gon' be the captain
Who gon' lead the ship? (Let me think)
Who gon' make sure that we're
Packin' all them heater clips?
(A couple people)
Who about that action 'cause we need to flip
(You know me) it's a real motion picture
We don't need a script (Facts)
Rosa Parks took a stand just so we could sit
You niggas standin' on couches probably
Wouldn't let a diva sit (Stupid niggas)
Kept the 40 close like be legit
(Stand your ground)
Now it's champagne toasts 'cause we legit
(Mazel tov)
You know it's black power, nigga we the shit
(I love my people)
If I'm not being detained
Then I'ma plead the fifth
I'ma make it home, officer, read my lips
(That's a fact)
It ain't nothin' for a G to flip
(You hear me?)
It ain't nothin' for me to flip

We all live and die
We fight so long to rise against the pain
Too much bloodshed on our streets
We wash our hands, we're dripped in rain
Tryna make it home
Tryna make it home tonight
Gotta make it home (Gotta make it home)
Gotta make it home tonight (Oh yeah, oh yeah)
Gotta make it back home

What about X, if he was watchin' too?
(What up, red?)
I think he might suggest that
We got lots to do (I feel that)
He probably would know best and
What we gots to do (True)
Keep the lawyers on deck
You know how coppers do (They tame us)
They treat us like animals
Like my block's a zoo (Grrr)
That's why they put is in cages
They wanna lock us too (Why?)
Treat us like Toby, we all Shaka Zu's
(My name's Shaka)
'Cause that's the mindset that we adapted to
(Fuck that)
All the blood that was spilled on the street
(Uh huh?) for all the black and brown that
Was killed by the police (Black pride)
We could start a civil war
But we really want peace (What's up?)
But if the war do happen
I'm concealing my piece (I'm loaded)
We gotta make it known
That we're tryna make our own
(Black Wall Street)
But when the blacks owned the land
The whole place was blown (Tulsa)
USA dropped bombs on the USA
We need to run up in the
White House screaming "Kooda K"
(Kooda, shut up) every time we did a drill
I made the shooters spray (Pray for us)
As of late
It's feeling like all I do is pray (Brrr)
It was people left astray in the water
For the blood on the floor
Swept away with the water
For the owner of the store that
Kept a tape of the slaughter (Nasty)
What about George Floyd? He never
Played with his daughter
What about Rayshard? He'll never
Play with his daughter (Pray for him)
I know niggas that came home
And they gon' play with their daughter
You bitches abusing, confusing
Say we need order (We need love)
And Jesus wept, they say that was for us
(Amen)
We was so trained to run away from the taurus
(Squalie)
I'm tryna get back home, for the chorus

We all live and die
We fight so long to rise against the pain
Too much bloodshed on our streets
We wash our hands, we're dripped in rain
Tryna make it home
Tryna make it home tonight
Gotta make it home (Gotta make it home)
Gotta make it home tonight (Oh yeah, oh yeah)
