Down - Kavale, Boogie

I know it’s hard don’t let them take from us

I wonder what they see when they envision us

Tell me how we’re free if they conditioned us

You gotta stay down so you get lifted up

You gotta stay down, don’t take from us

I wonder what they see when they envision us

Tell me how we’re free if they conditioned us

You gotta stay down so you get lifted up

You gotta stay down

I’m tryna save the world but I need someone to come save me

See I made a promise to make it up out it but this what they made me

I’m trapped in a system that won’t let me live it’s driving me crazy

In 2020 my people are hanging and Brenda’s got babies

I’ve been a victim to all my surroundings

Body is lifted but feels like I’m grounded

Head above water but feels like I’m drowning

Look to the sky my mind’s feeling clouded

Black in a world where they label me violent

A cop kills a nigga then everything’s silent (shh, black)

We don’t wanna talk about it, but we got some bigger problems

What happened to him, they shot him

10 o’clock news we’re watching

And every day we pray, pray, pray, pray

Somebody should explain, xplain, xplain, xplain

Tell me who the fuck gon' survive in Ameri to the K, K, K, A, wait.

But still we got a dream and it’s been a process, man I feel exhausted

Want a house on the hill make me a promise

Be the voice of the people that feel lost in

The land of the free but ain’t got options

All eyes on me cause they still watching

(They still watching, they still watching, they still watching)
