Goodnight (feat. Jigs)
Goodnight to my hopes and dreams, everything that's wrong with me
Is the reason, I'm becoming everything I'm gonna be
Wonder why they took Nipsey, it still don't sit right with me
Then they take Pop, Von, not to mention Lil Peep
Then we got low life rats, still alive, getting cheese
Momma told me I'm a winner, I ain't even gotta cheat
What cost you the most in life, everything you got for free
Yeah, I wanna take a wife, but I'm waiting for a queen
I'm only seventeen, but I got big dreams
R I P, to Stan Lee, tryna make my mama proud, when she see me on tv
Tryna make the voiceless heard, be that voice of gen z
In the land of the free, where by law, I'm worth five, they worth three
Where's the lie, please lift up your knee
"I can't breathe," George was lying on the ground, gasping out for air
Crying out for help, screaming "mama, help, I'm scared"
Can we stop this reign of terror
Seem like everywhere I go, roses growing out of concrete
When I get into my zone, can't nobody stop me
Now I gotta keep a gadget, worried they might pop me
Used to have no fashion sense, now I'm wearing Tommy
But do it matter? 'cause I still feel the same
Like I'm supposed to act different, 'cause the money and fame
I'll always be a player, I still referee the game
And now I'm dropping bangers and they don't treat me the same
They say this year has sucked, I think everything's the same
All my brothers in christ dying, anything for fame
We've got Covid-19, yeah it's driving us insane
But reality is, we let hate consume our brain
We got freedom of speech, but be careful what you say
'Cause these days, it's all black and white, basically no grey
All my idols getting killed, you should preach your love today
'Cause there might not be tomorrow, they might take your life away
Hey, goodnight sweetie
Daddy loves you so much
Sleep tight
I'll say goodnight to my little girl and sing her to sleep
So when she closes her eyes, she has the sweetest of dreams
She doesn't hide with disguises, she ain't ashamed of her life
'Cause all she's, knows is the love that we show
She glows like the night lights
Inside of her bedroom, I'm going to bed soon
All that my head can do, is dwell on the sad truth
'Cause pain isn't like youth, it's nothing we might lose
We face it on the daily, sick of singing the same blues
It feels like the same tune, repeating the same moves
I'm sick of the same news, accusing without proof
Gun violence and people dying so fighting and rioting all time, is inevitable
It seems like we all lose, a war that is all too, habitual renews
This time I though we knew, much better but we screwed
If even for a second, we don't think we're being threatened
By the polarizing tension bound to detonate real soon
Boom! Nah, I'm not about to go out like that
I'm sick of this forth and back, the personal core attacks
We gotta be more than that, and learn to discern the facts
If not for ourselves, then on our daughters and sons' behalf
We hang up their photographs and tuck them in tight
Pray to place them in God's hands and take away frights
Everything that they don't have we try to make right
Let your actions be guided by your intentions when you tell them, "goodnight"
