[Intro]
I jus turned 17
We live
Yeah, uh
Yeah-yeah, uh
[Verse]
I hit the road
Looking for my hoodie, know it's bout to get cold
You don't need to worry, I'm just out to the store
I promise Imma hit you when I'm headed back to home
Yeah, slipping these fours and hit the door
Put in these headphones trynna tell me shit that I know
Bumping DMX and Pac, no apologies how I show up
I can save that shit for later, gon' save it for when I grow up
In my private pilot life there ain't no sirens, just gettin' money
Gold teeth and a cockpit, n***a won't be shit funny
Clouds in the sky, I need the sunny days again
Fuck an expectation, I can set that shit ablaze again
Ya dig, uh
But I made it to the 7-11
I walk in, clerk ask me if I'm taller, I'm like, "Shit, I can't call it"
When I'm out I get a call from my girl and pick up like, "What you been on?"
What's in this cup? Arizona
She like, "Save a lil for me"
I'm like, "Girl, I ain't no donor"
We both share a laugh as I'm approaching home and
I peeped this n***a in my peripheral tryna hone in, but
I say fuck it and I keep walking
I know my father told me sometimes they stalking around this part
But n***a I'm just walking around, my heart
Tell me something about to start to go down
Hauling ass 'cause he parking it now
Hear the truck door slam as I'm runnin' out of stamina
Pops not gon' believe me, wish I got this shit on camera
Turn around like, "N***a, what's your deal?"
He like, "What you tryna steal?"
And approach me like these hands ain't built for real
Then we end up in this squabble, see him reachin' for the steel
I freeze up, 'cause I ain't ready to perish
I start to ease up, but it's too late
I look the barrel in the face and I choose fate
I stop fightin' then this n***a blow my brains on the curb
As the life leave my body, it's another dream deffered
The blood stop pumping, neighbors see it, he disturbed
Paramedics try, but I can't utter a word
My soul off the Earth now
My body lay cold in the rain
But fuck it I ain't dying in vein
You see, nine years later, my story still remain
'Cause white supremacy inflict a different type of pain
But if you're black, then you my family, we the same
Said if you're black, then you're my family, we the same
Justice for all of us difficult to obtain
The proof that everyone can still recall my name, Trayvon
I jus turned 17
We live
Yeah, uh
Yeah-yeah, uh
