[Chorus: Nasty C]
They don't want me to win, they don't want me to eat
They don't want to see a young black man succeed
They don't want to see me take my brothers out of the streets
They don't want me
They don't want me to sleep they dont want me to drink
They don't want to see my people livin' good and at ease
They wanna lock 'em all up and then get rid of the keys
We ain't never free
[Verse 1: Nasty C]
I'm grateful for life and the prize I reap
Every day and every night, I get on my knees
And I pray for my guys and they families
Hope the Lord hear me
I can only imagine the pain and the grief
From the innocent mothers with all the shit they had to see
When you lose the ones you love to the fucking police
When Heaven calls and the angels do they job
We start to question God like we could play His part
Its so fuckin hard
It's hatred in my heart for the ones who left this scar
But everything will be alright soon
I just wanna let you know ain't nothin' like you
We live and die, that's always been the cycle
And do my best to help your family 'cause they're mine too
[Chorus: Nasty C]
But they don't want me to win, they don't want me to eat
They don't want to see a young black man succeed
They don't want to see me take my brothers out of the streets
They don't want me
They don't want me to sleep, they don't want me to dream
They don't want to see my people livin' good and at ease
They wanna lock 'em all up and then get rid of the keys
We ain't never free
[Verse 2: T.I.]
How could you blame as many sisters and brothers die?
If they answer to it go and start another fire
Guess they gotta do it, has to show objection to it
God bless 'em, no direction, out there gettin' to it
, consequences you earned
To build this nation that you hate me in, the karma's returned
Guess they'd rather see us all in civil unrest
Than to go and make some fuckin' arrests, fuck is that?
Well, after that, here's to getting exactly what you expect
Look, it ain't hard to see you not for me, the cycle of atrocity
Blew your cover when there about to be some reciprocity
I'm with the cause, and it's gon' be whatever it got to be (Uh-uh)
Uh-huh, but vandalizin' buildings, that's just not for me
[Chorus: Nasty C]
They don't want me to win, they don't want me to eat
They don't want to see a young black man succeed
They don't want to see me take my brothers out of the streets
They don't want me
They don't want to see my people livin' good and at ease
They wanna lock 'em all up and then get rid of the keys
We ain't never free
[Verse 3: Nasty C]
Ayy, hold my hand, mama, I'm here for you
They think they took your son, but they put him right next to you
You the strongest thing on this earth, you unbreakable
Plus you brought him into this earth and you raised him too
Take a second off every day and get comfortable
Celebrate yourself for a change 'cause you never do
With all the pressure from society, you always hiding
Go outside and show the world a better you
I know you worried sick about if I'ma make it home this evening
You know 'cause of my color, life ain't gon' be easy
But I'ma be okay if I tell God I need Him
That's what you taught me without even knowing you teaching
See what I'm tryna say is you the furthest from weak
And I sing your praises because you a G
You made me and made the world a better place for your seeds
How the fuck could anybody take 'em away from they queen?

Black lives matter, everyone's life matters in this particular case.
Race,nationality, ethnicity, religion, gender shouldn't make one inferior or be descriminated cause at the end of the day we're all human.Basic human decency like spreading love and treating your neighbour the same way you'd want to be treated is really what we should all aim for and believe in for a better world.

This song featuring TI talks about racial injustices and oppression against the black race.
Dating back from slavery to aparthied policy days in SA up to today racial segregation against the black people exists ( I'm not sayin people of colour can't be racist)
Just recently George Floyd (RIP) was killed by a policeman and it was so sad, one of the reasons for They don't is to talk about such circumstances, white previlages and all that.
I hope people listen and learn to treat others with love and kindness.
Thanks for reading.
