Dear Nick

Dear Nick don't play with em
 You know they ain't gon' play fair
 They done pushed us to the bottom
 But gave us every reason not to stay there
 I was raised on the darkside
 Pardon my vision, I don't see clear
 I kept company with killers
 Man, I'm so happy to be here
 I went from nothing to lose
 And something to prove
 To something to lose and nothing to prove
 I don't react
 I won't respond
 I'm way too gone
 Man I'm far beyond
 It all...
 I let go of the vitriol
 I've been thinking
 Who's these little bitches
 To a big dog
 No thinking small
 They ain't thinking at all
 I was building bridges
 They constructing walls
 I went from nothing to lose
 And something to prove
 To something to lose
 And nothing to prove
 I don't react
 I won't respond
 I'm way too gone
 I'm far beyond it all
 I went from nothing to lose
 And something to prove
 To something to lose
 And nothing to prove
 I
 Don't react
 I won't respond
 I'm way too gone
 I am far beyond it all
 Dear Nick
 They love you
 Till you talked Hebrew
 Some geniuses
 Do that
 To make them see-through
 Those geniuses
 Won't see our issues
 But getting support
 Isn't so profitable
 Some geniuses
 Might stick to the issue
 And say we matter
 They want us
 To spend with you
 It's hard having black power
 Without black dollar
 We feel conscious
 Till the purchase goes sour
 Hatred doesn't work part time
 Why did we put love on the line
 How did the movement get curfew
 That thought is a threat to my nephew
 A dream received
 Shared imagination
 A dream wasn't
 Just a black nation
 A dream deferred
 Created this situation
 We can achieve
 Even if they cheat our education
 I went from nothing to lose
 And something to prove
 To something to lose
 And nothing to prove
 I
 Don't react
 I won't respond
 I way too gone
 I am far beyond it all
 I went from nothing to lose
 And something to prove
 To something to lose
 And nothing to prove
 I
 Don't react
 I won't respond
 I'm way too gone
 I am far beyond it all
 Far beyond it all
 Far beyond it all
