Dase - Black History Interlude lyrics

[Produced by Dase] [Chorus] I don't know what it takes My life they want to take This world is full of hate Not too long before I break I don't know what it takes My life they want to take This world is full of hate Not too long before I break [Verse 1] You see the faces of my people We are oppressed by the evil They tell us life will soon be equal They tell us all to just stay peaceful That talk is just deceitful These are the words of a disciple Let's go back to when things were tribal When we were not frightful Of police that roam these roads For a black man to unload Every single clip that he has on load Black body splattered on the road And one month later the case is closed All charges dropped cause the threat he posed (The threat he posed) [Chorus] I don't know what it takes My life they want to take This world is full of hate Not too long before I break I don't know what it takes My life they want to take This world is full of hate Not too long before I break [Verse 2] This country was built our shoulders This burden is heavier than boulder And what I notice as I get older Whites are still the controller We're at war I'm a soldier Fighting everyday just for some closure Want a better world for my children Don't care about making a million Reasons to cry I have about a billion TV has another civilian Dead on the street this feeling is k**ing They treat us like we're the villain (I'm not a villain I'm not a villain.) [Chorus] I don't know what it takes My life they want to take This world is full of hate Not too long before I break I don't know what it takes My life they want to take This world is full of hate Not too long before I break
