Let It Be Known

Go ahead and tie my hands 
Tightly behind my back
Now I’m ready for 
Any and all attacks
This is the truth 
This is the facts
That I’m not judged on my actions
But I’m judged cause I’m black
Labeled a bad guy
Cause my decisions was wrong
Now I got jus two friends
What the hell is goin on? 
Let this be heard
Let it be known
I’ve became a thousand times stronger
Since yall been gone 
I guess yall was pretenders 
Cause that’s all I see
Laughin so hard
It’s even harder to breathe 
I’m still waitin 
For one to attack me
Remember to not untie my hands
Cause with’em I’m like a beast indeed
