8:46 – Political Rap Database

8:46 i look thru the list
Of children of god police couldn’t co exist w
I’m on my Medgar (Evers) & Malcolm (x) shit
Scribe by my lonely uptown in the whip

Foot on the gas thats the digital dash
I swear one my goals it got snatched out my palm..
I had worked so damn hard why i ain’t got no ass,
Now my lil feelings jus go ina song

But f*ck it I’m bigger than micro aggressions
But I can’t even lie them hoes trigger depression
Be working like double and triple as hard
Really could live life without the oppression

They take opportunities give em to others
The ones that don’t look like not me or my brothers
They like when they corneas blue like the officers
Dammit I’m tired put that on my muvah

Jus wan see brighter days ina morn for my sisters
Jus hand us sum equity maybe a Fisker
Ion think they can see us in they positions
Walk ina room why they always got whisper

I can b anything that I want
And if I grind hard get my trunk ina front
It’s a lot on my mental been rolling up skunk
College grind scribe ona top of the bunk

Out chasing a bag ona hunt like a junkie
My way would Marion Berry the country
I see my ppl as politicians
Rolling up skunk .. I’m getting funky

I think that my dawgs know a thing bout their city
A couple my brothers know something bout law
Seeing black councilman make me get litty
Give college as equity won’t b a flaw

She told me the flow getting nice
But baby my heart really hurt
He wasn’t een rolling no dice
And 12 put my bro ona shirt
She forgot to signal her right
So damn now my sis ina dirt
They said that they down for the fight
I smile w the drip no flirt

Wan see brighter days ina morn for my ppl
Devalued our lives throughout history’s sequels
grew up seeing brown skin & white skin as equal
Mentalities different from that clearly lethal

8:46 … been stuck on my mind
Man I thought my song WestSide was a long time

I Might b outta pocket you can blame it ona sign

Tased him ina spine for breaking the curfew
Cut deep cuz Elijah M. (McClain) favors my bro
Knew US racist but damn this the worst you
It’s 2020 wont u get out an vote
honestly hate is yah true Virtue

And it’s nuffin yah could do to make this living hell great
One thing to improve would b by helping ppl fate
If they can’t afford it throw sum extra ona plate
If they hunted by the blue free tuition to a state school
Need tha reparations
that could start jus by a great school

They whitened all the history
Taught to us in grade school
Maybe I’m jus tripping but it’s feeling like they made school

That’s the type of bull shit … really made me hate school
But it’s crazy cuz I never had a issue w the learning
Jus them selfish ass teachers, used they powers as a hate tool
But I been out in my community tripling my earning

True colors show when you ducking from the fist
Hop up out your feelings it’s a movement not a moment
They was smoking dick when they said ignorance is bliss
If you rock w the movement just show us you own it

I jus bow down my head
Send a prayer to the Sky
Even tho it’s been hard
Ian… I ain’t asking god why

God got us here at this time for a reason
Cops can’t see our value keep committing treason
Even with everything we been achieving
Jus look at the time if you ain’t believing

From tommy smith .. to our first black president
If you ain a felon bruh get out and vote
That’s the part you should play as a resident
We can control how this history wrote

& I hate that last bar
Cuz i don’t think stealing a car should revoke peoples voices & votes
You’re taking their RIGHTS off of something irrelevant
That a new issue tho take me a toke

But back to the topic please value our lives
Sean Bell couldn’t marry his wife
I’d lose my mind .. that’s if I lost mine
The people that murdered him ain get a strike
But yah heard these stories like hundreds of times

But then them unheard stories take it thousands
No not the income .. it’s 5 of the digits tho
Y’all ain’t gon separate us redlining houses

I jus take my lil fist
Hold it up to the Sky
Even tho it’s been so hard
Ian asking god why

I smile everyday with a lot on my mind
Like how can they kill & then free all them killers
Could count the indictments 1 hand in no time
They told a dying lil boy to lay stiller

It’s a lot on my heart & a lot on my mind
But that don’t compare.. to getn in ya spine
How none of these officers ever get time
The mamas left childless never b fine

4 hours in Mike (Brown) laid dead in the street
Made an example that’s under the sheet

Cuz our voices hold power
And babygirl everything better around you

Wonder why Malcom X made ’em shake
I’m Making my days count like I’m (Muhammad) Ali
Martin (Luther King jr) would b ashamed by the hate
That’s why I’m jus tryna drift out to sea

A place I can dream I can flip & be me
Somewhere they embrace when they meet someone different
Valued thats with or without a degree
Blowing OG & you know that it’s hitting

Cuz we’ve always seen struggle
Felt discrimination
Why we need reparations
A lil help out the rubble

And we been being patient
It’s time for our nation
To right sum their wrongs starting with education
Make sure yah giving out full information
Like that this land was stolen.. for clarification

Y’all jus sum hypocrites thinking this yalls now
If they build it up we ALL breaking the wall down
Watch them & yah learn a thing bout the GRIND
Going over 8 minutes we jus jus hit the 5 now

We taking over a matter of time
8:46 had to go ina rhyme

I just take my lil fist (while holding my jay)
Hold it up ina sky (blow my gas ina sky)
Even tho it’s been so (so hard) hard
I ain’t asking god why

Yah got the mindset of them ona shrine

Wait did I say shrine ? Buddy f*ck yah lil status
I’ll bring out the team knock that boy off his horse
Fireworks bussin cuz congress can’t hear us
We only out cuz we ain have a choice

Them statues wasn’t put up right after the war
They put them up recent(ly) to send us a message
Seems like they focused on keeping a score
I focus on righting my wrongs for the blessage

I jus bow down
Send a prayer to the Sky
Even tho it’s been hard
Ian asking god why

The time is right now yeah it’s time for a change
Bigger than going from Honda to Range

Praying that GOD gon relieve sum of your pain

He blessed me w my voice
For those ain’t have a choice
And for those got ignored

Drip when I scribe so my art it b moist
Only Half through , what a hell of a year
I’m just so glad that PD got defunded
Go hard for Breonna I shed me a tear
They screaming BLM way out in London

I jus keep thinking it could b my peer
So I still light it up while I look ina mirror
I can b anything long as I grind
2020 & the drip is so clear

If you gay or you straight
You wan end sum the hate
Then you Gotta make noises so that they can hear
Im Hot like a kettle go petal to metal
Our Hands ona reins gotta step up and steer

The 13th amendment it jhi left me shook
Yeah it’s right there yea it’sZZZZZ still ina book
Maybe that’s why they feel still this entitlement
