Fly (feat. Malik Shakur)

I'm afraid I'll die

And you can look at me and never wonder why

Because I'm brown and young and my

Hair it is nappy

And if I spend a day outside

Just doing normal things inside my hometown

And be the wrong place, wrong time

I could be dying

And yes the holder of the gun

It could be him or her, it could be black or white

But when the deed is done it's done

We have a killer

And in the rising of the sun

Hope you remember me with positivity

Cause there's a target on my back

Time's only wasting

And yes I hope one day we'll fly

Above the things that make humanity divide

Oh yes I hope one day we'll fly

I pray the kids I have see better days than mine

Oh yes I hope one day we'll fly

And for the ones that died, and for the ones that died

I hope you fly

I hope you fly

I hope you fly

I hope you fly

I'm not a nuisance to mankind

And even if I was I don't deserve to die

Because a man should kill no man

On no condition

So I won't ever understand

How triggers pull against a man with empty hands

Cause we can kill the innocent

You are a killer

I hope a God is up above

I hear his voice sometimes and I have seen some signs

That yes the devil walks this world

Just look around you

Or you can look into your phone

Or check the news you trust or check the timeline

Because we all have lost control

With our assignment

And yes I hope one day we'll fly

Above the things that make humanity divide

Oh yes I hope one day we'll fly

I pray the kids I have see better days than mine

Oh yes I hope one day we'll fly

And for the ones that died, and for the ones that died

I hope you fly

I hope you fly

I hope you fly

I hope you fly

I hope my son dreams to be mountains

I hope he dreams to change the surface of the earth

I hope he dreams past the stars and the nebula

I hope he never falls for the traps

I hope he knows his skin is gold

I hope he knows the world is his for the taking

I hope he never becomes a hashtag

I hope to never see him on the back of a t-shirt

I hope that no man in no uniform, assumes

He's reaching for something in his pocket

I hope he knows it's okay to love

I hope he's a daydreamer

I hope he flys
