So What? Haystak

[Intro: Haystak]
Yeah:
This' for all my people that grew up being told
That they would be dead in the penitentiary;
It's about time they were grown
And then you wonder why?
They got depression, self-esteem, anxiety issue'... you know?
After so long you start to believe it: (check, check)

[Verse 1: Haystak]
I recall everything I was told:
Boy you'll never live to be 18 years old
Dead or incarcerated just like those;
People who wander down similar roads
Leavin' out the house, she said please don't go!
Granny why you stay tryin' to, save my soul?
If death is my destiny, like you had said to me
Let me get busy before he gets the best of me!
Don't you know bullets don't have no brain?
And a lot of youngers don't have no aim?
Am I livin' or dyin' somebody please explain?
Goin' or stayin', because I'm going insane?
I'm strapped up cause he is, sheisty cause she is
Meanwhile a dude who teach chemistry is
In his office with a kid doing shit I get expelled for
Which makes me wonder: why people go to jail for it?
