What If
Verse 1: Broken
Broke down. A broken wing had me grounded,
while the whole town Collapsed in flames a shame we rounded,
All NWAs plus y'all To hit the stage, rebel, against the State,
we ain’t our parents this the new age.
We know you hung up your hoods, still rock the badges
Madness. Dastardly, diabolical actions practiced
Libellous chapters, lies in literature when lips fail
Class rooms teach slaves were grateful when ships sailed
Cries for freedom met with tear gas to inhale
Caricature Pres sparks impulsive fear
Go Gadget stethoscope placed to hope, no pulses here
Faith gone, my Lord my people in the ghettosphere
Hell's empty, must mean all the devils here
When we die all my Dawgs go to heaven dressed
In clothes they Mamas felt would represent 'em best.
Then their names and prayer hands in ink upon our necks
Chorus
We gon be alright, said my grandma and yours
In the vestibule kneeled on floors, hoping outside of them doors
That one day, the sun would shine upon her face
But she knows, when it rained it poured
Cats and Dogs, catch them hogs
What if they done what Jesus said in practice, Naw
See Jesus had no gats at all, All he had was words’n
Negros aint deserving of freedom, they just captive
So catch ‘em all.
when it rains, it pours
Cats and Dogs, catch them hogs
What if they done what Jesus said in practice, Naw
See Jesus had no gats but we do, and we practice law
We aint beggin for freedom, we gon grab it
We gon snatch it all, snatch them all.
We aint beggin for freedom, we gon grab it
We gon snatch it all, snatch them all.

Verse 2: In His Image
Memories live like people do - Easily lost
Forgotten cz life has a price, some see a weekly cost
10% we called tithes to honor a white dude
The same shade of the invaders, audacious quite rude
But my dude, beautiful soul known since high school
Gone now, son’s an angel, none like him my views
Cherubims portrayed, fat caucasians with wings
Play strings on a harp, while another sings
Heartstrings in my chest strum with anger, eyes notice
That nan angel shown got wide noses
No Fros, thick lips, beards, or masculine poses
What if the Bible y'all read was just hypnosis
No heaven, just Earth. Good or Evil chosen
Paths taken, man it's all hocus pocus.
What if the God we loved was our conscience
And looking outside ourselves was ungodly nonsense.
Chorus
We gon be alright, said my grandma and yours
In the vestibule kneeled on floors, hoping outside of them doors
That one day, the sun would shine upon her face
But she knows, when it rained it poured
Cats and Dogs, catch them hogs
What if they done what Jesus said in practice, Naw
See Jesus had no gats at all, All he had was words’n
Negros aint deserving of freedom, they just captive
So catch ‘em all.
when it rains, it pours
Cats and Dogs, catch them hogs
What if they done what Jesus said in practice, Naw
See Jesus had no gats but we do, and we practice law
We aint beggin for freedom, we gon grab it
We gon snatch it all, snatch them all.
We aint beggin for freedom, we gon grab it
We gon snatch it all, snatch them all.

Verse 3: Reckoning
Stepped off the Amistad, my presence made headlines
Fought in your civil war, then here came the redlines
Summer of 64, I'm missing in Mississippi
Practicing 2A, and I'm keeping my Mrs with me.
A system that's rooted in, the lust for the upper hand
Hate has incumbency, no space for the brother man
Religion was just a tool, skin kept me in a place
The sins were as bad in school, and still imma win the race
Elections super rigged, want my vote suppressed
Keep funding out of schools to keep the folks oppressed
My come-up defied you, your ego can't take more
Tactics don't work, now you starting a race war
We vibing with right folks, lightly melanated
Had our six in hope, unity demonstrated
New generations dope, ancestors finally see
Continue fighting ‘til, we set the captives free

We come trumpeting, seven blasts around the border
For George, Breona, Atatiana, Aura.
Stephan, Botham, Philando, and others
All gone and remind us to stop turning cheeks
That's an order.
Beatitudes defined the rules to protect the meek
Protest for weeks, chant down Babylon till pressure peaks
Freedom ain’t free, it’s costly fighting terrorists
What if we did what Jesus did, we’re just heretics.

Chorus
We gon be alright, said my grandma and yours
In the vestibule kneeled on floors, hoping outside of them doors
That one day, the sun would shine upon her face
But she knows, when it rained it poured
Cats and Dogs, catch them hogs
What if they done what Jesus said in practice, Naw
See Jesus had no gats at all, All he had was words’n
Negros aint deserving of freedom, they just captive
So catch ‘em all.
when it rains, it pours
Cats and Dogs, catch them hogs
What if they done what Jesus said in practice, Naw
See Jesus had no gats but we do, and we practice law
We aint beggin for freedom, we gon grab it
We gon snatch it all, snatch them all.
We aint beggin for freedom, we gon grab it
We gon snatch it all, snatch them all.
