Intro (Don Season 2)
[Intro: Don Cannon]
Yeah, I really couldn't believe this shit
They tried to count us out time and time again (Big facts)
But we trust ourselves (Right)
We survived a lot (Lord knows)
And we will continue to survive whatever's coming to us
See that's the difference between us
You see High Bridge, Don Cannon, Don Q (Get money)
We part of that successful 1% (We millionaires)
Because we doing everything that 99% of y'all niggas won't (Yea)
Don Season 2
[Verse 1: Don Q]
Who can I trust in this world that we live in?
I look at the news and it got me fed up with this world that we live in
Politicians runnin' scandals tryna get you jammed in the dirtiest system
Can't afford a lawyer, gotta take a deal when you ain't deserve that conviction
I feel like Trump ain't deserve that position
80,000 niggas on the Island mean, I'm talkin' yearly, I don't think they hear me
Break it down hope they get that theory
But these basic clowns tryna interfere me
It's a different ballgame when the law came around shit hit severely
Trappin' for some small change, made a small change, now I see the picture clearly, yeah
[Interlude]
11 years of my life stuck in the hands of someone else
30 thousand a year in tax pays for a prisoner like me
Prison is a big business but became a bigger business since slavery became illegal
Only designed for certain people
[Verse 2]
I just wan' see my young niggas live
Babies havin' babies, kids killin' kids
They respond, like, "it is what it is"
Yeah, he gone, but he did what he did
I gotta be the one to notify him
Since nobody cared to even show him guidance
Devil on his shoulder while he holdin' iron
Really this the only life they glorifyin', shit get horrifyin'
[Interlude]
We have to stop building this business and start makin' it equal
2.2 million people are sittin' in prison
Half of that 2.2 million people are innocent people
We have to wake up and realize, life is bigger than the fast life
[Verse 3]
Momma told me take 20 minutes out the day and say a prayer
I told her niggas might spin around the way I gotta stay aware
It felt like Baghdad when I last passed
Smokers sell they soul for that last drag
Ain't no hope for you in that crack bag
I seen dope needles in the trash bag
I seen a nigga tell on his homie that he knew over 20 years
Got him 20 years, shit is weird
Especially when you think it'll never come from you peers, but it did
I seen a nigga beggin' for some help, finally got it then he disappeared
Stupid nigga, you ain't never supposed to burn your own bridge but you did
I tried to forget and forgive, but niggas forget when I give
You come out of pocket until you ain't got it and they gon' forget when you did
Yeah, damn, look at the shit being generous did
Close friends died all, I do is thank God that the memories live
[Interlude]
To my brothers and sisters in the struggle, no matter where you are
Freedom is the goal, knowledge is the key
And faith is the way to remain clear, stay alive
'Cause we living in a danger zone, peace
