Cloak Lyrics

All these police executions have really been fucking with my execution
Haven't been able to focus on music
Keep thinking bout niggas who met their conclusions too early
From demons who chose not to see em as human
With unions to back their delusion
Don't wanna hear no internal solutions
The system ain't broken, that's just an illusion
Please do not call this shit woke
I haven't stepped in the booth in a month
My head been real fucked up
I'm not in the mood for jokes
8 minutes 46 seconds he choked, I watched him go
3 of em covered the killer in cloak
So many memories this shit evoked
I done seen too many niggas get smoked
This ain't my lyrical lane so I had to swerve to speak on the pain
Typically I do not rap bout my feelings
But lately this all that I got on my brain
I hesitate to embrace em on songs
Cuz if it's not carefully done then it's lame
But George and Breonna and Tony McDade
They hit me so hard I couldn't abstain
Reading been giving me clarity through all this media-sanctioned pollution
I don't wanna hear bout no riots and looting
As long as them badges are lying and shooting
Lately been spending some time refuting opinions of people who think we the enemy
I had to take a step back and remember
That imma be doing this shit till the end of me
Long road ahead of me and I been running on fumes
I'm looking to fill up my tank
Selling these sonnets and then I deposit the bread in mutual aid like the bank
Promise I'm not at the center of none of this
Honored to be at these activists' flank
Whole lotta people been showing me love
But honestly I'm not the person to thank
Take it from people more seasoned and smarter than I am
Something you must understand
Is if you not using your voices to highlight the movement
You drawing a line in the sand
If you not actively helping dismantle the system
I definitely know where you stand
If you think a couple of shares and a square is enough
You part of the problem at hand
All these police executions have really been fucking with my execution
Haven't been able to focus on music
Keep thinking bout niggas who met their conclusions too early
From demons who chose not to see em as human
With unions to back their delusion
Don't wanna hear no internal solutions
The system ain't broken, that's just an illusion

All these police executions have really been fucking with my execution
