Born into a world
Where we're dying to be free
But we're living underneath their supremacy
Yeah, yeah, yeah

See I was raised in the west
Where we stay stressed
Where they lie if they have to to make an arrest
'Cause we living in the shadow of the suburbs
While the price of this house going upwards
I don't understand how
The poor get robbed by the rich
and they calling it a handout (Aw, hell nah)
And it's evident
The neighborhood fucked up
Got us sending letters to the president
Tell me, can you hear us
Through the sound of the sirens?
And you wonder why the streets getting violent
Another mother shed tears at the cemetery
Burying her first born child (Damn)
I've been watching through the years
Got my nerves firing, waking up screaming
And we live in a cold sweat
Segregated, they consider us a known threat
So we hopeless, ayy

Born into a world
Where we're dying to be free
(I just wanna be free, let's go)
But we're living underneath their supremacy
(Looking out from, we ain't out from
Their supremacy)
One day you'll see us
but until then we'll all sit and wait for the rapture
(Ain't no more waiting)

They trying to relegate my DNA (Nah)
Break it down into something easier to hate (Uh)
They afraid of the outcome
'Cause the race that they call human
keep evolving and they know they will get outrun
(That's why, huh?)
Still behind on the times, yeah
Protest culture on strike like lightning (Damn)
Losing hold and control, so we rising
Put the muzzle on, but we won't stay silent

Born into a world
Where we're dying to be free
(I just wanna be free, let's go)
But we're living underneath (What we under?)
Their supremacy
(Underneath, under their supremacy)
One day you'll see us
but until then we'll all sit and wait for the rapture
(What you waiting for?)
(Go and get it)

When time turns into history
The story that we'll tell will be
When we were marching for our lives
You stood on the other side
When time turns into history
The story that we'll tell will be
When we were marching for our lives
You stood on the other side
When time turns into history
The story that we'll tell will be
When we were marching for our lives
You stood on the other side
