In The Air

That's where you niggas got it fucked up and twisted

They ain't scared about just a regular Black

Man in America, yeah, they fear that nigga too

But they fear the independent man

They fear the nigga who goes out and gets his

They fear the nigga that goes out and

Says, "I ain't takin' no for an answer"

They fear the man that says, "I'ma do it, I'ma make the corporation"

They fear the man that thinks above the employee position

They fear the man that wants to be a boss

They fear the Black man in America who's accomplished

When you step outside

When you're in that Benz, when you're in that Bentley

And you shine and you got your ice and your jewelry on

They fear you, nigga

Niggas gotta be stupid to not see what's goin' on out here

They tryna black out every single successful Black man in America

If bein' Black is bein culture, what's the cancel culture?

Sound like some white shit them niggas planted on us

The cops killin' only heroes on the cam recorders

When major corporations ramblin' 'bout niggas on Twitter

When all they did was put BLM in they handles for us

Open your eyes, they ain't standin' for us

It's 2020, been a year, God planned it for us

A lot of things he got, plan it for us

I'm in the ring like Rocky

I got a shot type Aki, but it'll steal a score

What's everybody in they feelings for?

It's 'cause I'm aimin' at the ceilin' floor

Still poppin' on these niggas, waitin' while they slither

When I'm comin', they can feel it more

The blogs only want my words just to switch 'em more

What do you do when the court lawyers is tellin' you not to talk

And as soon you don't, you playin' the villain for it?

You got a lot of feelings still in store

I'm still hearin' stories, that nigga talkin' 'bout Tory is over

I'm God's child, I'm one of his most glorious soldiers

I'm workin' at the old man's, custodian, quota

I'm notorious for the stories of overcomin' the poorest of situations

And comin' out glorious from 'em

Niggas taught us to sell dope when you bored in the summer

He was lackin' a couple cast, then got caught in the summer

Pulled up on him

They started clappin' his dome in the summer, no wonder

That was my dawg, I used to fuck with him hard

He pull up to the tour bus with the dawgs

He used to tell me I'm a Don and I'm a prince

And how I come with the charm

And laughed back and say, "Don't fuck with no frauds"

'Lil cuz, you a star

Take me to the back, bust a cigar

Told me rap and stop hustlin' raw, but I was doublin' hard

Next step, cop comin' in car and you

Was always there to bust up a charge

Shit just fucked with me hard

Now it's pannin' out, news cameras standin' out

Wrongfully accused but on the news is what the man about

Even my own friends hands wasn't out

Tell me, what that's all about?

Fame got us fallin' out

Niggas hated on me, made me grind harder

It's gon' be people that gon' switch when the times harder

The door's open for a short line of niggas and it figures

It's the time, I ain't tryna make my line longer

I made my mind stronger

I made my heart colder

I work the best when my back was up at the wall for ya

I'm goin' through some changes, close friends turn to strangers

I'm tryna turn the pages even though it's anger in my heart for ya

Yeah, more important than ever

The snow is fallin' on my brain in the coldest December

I tell a lie like, "Yo, I'm fine," but I'm holdin' together

I'm back on pace for the race

I'm at a rate where niggas just start

Blowin' this cheddar so damn hard that I part ways

With both of my hoes and had 'em both trippin' out and goin' together

For all the ones that know me better, you know I'm fed up

The only way to hold a set up is to know a set up

I don't like to do this, y'all just act like I ain't human

Please don't listen to the rumors that they try alludin'

I've never hit no woman, why the fuck would I just do this?

This be that dark label shit, them niggas tryna do me

I know the secrets and I know the fuckery

And they don't want me to say nothin' so they tryna shut— (Uh)

But God the only one in line to judge me

The other side and kind is ugly and they tryna fuck me, yeah

What happened to the times of helpin' self?

When we dehumanizin' celebrities with mental health

Don't know the story, so we make one and upset ourselves

So nowadays, I feel the pain from certain niggas I ain't never felt

We just marched in unity about us bein' brothers

And y'all ain't even hear my side, that's how we bein' brothers?

It's kinda crazy, white folks ain't even sayin' nothin'

Only celebs I'm seein' hatin' are my same color

Get it together, we gotta get it together

My nigga, we Black skin and we gotta live it together

Fuck how you feelin' about me, we got a mission together

You gotta listen, 'cause God, he gotta get his endeavor, preach

Tory, you in this situation, not because he's hatin'

He's usin' Megan as a vessel and a test of faith and

Even when you at the bottom, it's when he makes his way in

God, thank you for turnin' me into a demonstration
