I mean what is there to fear?
 I'm from black America, this is just another year
 If you're new to disrespect by your elected puppeteers
 Well, let me show you how to persevere
 Just get up every time somebody knock you down
 And celebrate in front of people like they not around
 And if they try to build a wall to keep you ballin' out of bounds
 Use the bench they told you to warm to keep the fences knockin' down
 Shout out to latinos because hustlin' ain't illegal
 We prayin' to the east or the father, we all are equal
 But if parted they gon' progress in stoppin' us gettin' C-notes
 Well let me ask the crowd, do one of y'all disagree?
 This is for Chocolate City though I represent the county
 Until your vote is counted, know I got you until I'm outy
 It's all about the effort and I'm effortlessly fresher
 If I'm preachin' to the choir, know they're bound to get the lecture
 It went from folks around me, pushin' envelopes and boundaries
 So you won't only hear me where you found me
 I'm somewhere askin' questions like, "Can I be afforded the most?"
 You better answer me with more than a "no"
 Tryin' tell ya
 Ooh, never not gettin' enough
 From this life that I'm leadin' and you know I believe in y'all know
 I ain't leavin' I'm posted, like
 Ooh, never not gettin' enough
 From this life that I'm leadin' and you know I believe in y'all know
 I ain't leavin' I'm posted, like
 This is for the county and the areas surroundin'
 DC, Maryland and Virginia know I'm with you
 Now what are you willin' to let die first, your pride or your freedom?
 The story of my life's inner conflict
 It's like I follow my dreams
 But how am I supposed to slide in the DM
 On this mic, is what I'm tryin' accomplish
 I used to do it for the fist bumps and applauses
 But carin' about respect started makin' me nauseous
 You walk into a room, and bammas speak to you cautious
 Like employees tryin' to figure out who the boss is
 So now I just kick it for, the most divine
 Workin' overtime
 Sittin' with an open bottle, lookin' for an open mind
 Tryin' not to be aggressively jaded
 'Cause I find myself just gettin' faded
 And I know that ain't quite me
 I step up for whatever it might be
 And RSVP when inspiration invite me
 'Cause who else gonna look out for those who look like me
 Another disenfranchised boy in a white tee?
 Come on, man
 Ooh, never not gettin' enough
 From this life that I'm leadin' and you know I believe in y'all know
 I ain't leavin' I'm posted, like

 All I know is love
 I give it how I get it, I can never get enough
 Sympathy to enemies 'cause hate ain't in my blood
 And if you can't relate, you've given up
 I'm tryin' to make the most of it though
 Gettin' close is a no
 Want nothin' lesser than a yes because it's suppose to be so
 The cost of nothing's too low
 My expectations too high
 I'd rather die than be complacent with the way that it goes
 Apathy is a disease and we're just steady sharin' needles
 Unaffected people carry evil
 Ease is what we know
 We've got to raise the bar though
 The sorrows of today will give away to a tomorrow
 So what's a week of paid leave
 And empty promises of hirin'
 Just to fire me before retirement
 I'm tryin' to make more in one day than 401K
 So give me what you promised to pay
 'Cause it's never enough
 Ooh, never not gettin' enough
