burning thumbs

my gal don't wanna be a bitch no more

i don't wanna be a nigga

sick of drinking

i just wanna get my money right

i don't wanna pop no mollies

i don't wanna kill nobody

kids dying up in chi-town

if you feel me

put your lighters up

until you burn your damn thumb

till you burn your damn thumb

miss obama

tell your husband that we hurtin'

he promised change

but it hasn't

ma'am i'm certain

these streets are killing bills

our kids are poppin' pills

you can't blame 'em

hot dammit in the club

they just tryna run away from pain

what if god already came

and we missed the damn boat?

ask katrina

black folks don't float so well

and i guess that time's gon' tell

they say i'm selfish

rap records don't sell

no mo'

these are the tales of my burning thumb

these are the tales of my burning thumb

my gal don't wanna be a bitch no more

i don't wanna be a nigga

sick of drinking

i just wanna get my money right

i don't wanna pop no mollies

i don't wanna kill nobody

kids dying up in chi-town

if you feel me

put your lighters up

until you burn your damn thumb

till you burn your damn thumb

trayvon

jordan davis

didn't make it

lord save us

they enslave us

free labor

we didn't ask to come here

it's so hard

i'm praying on my knees that i won't just disappear

on the soul of some dead slaves

i never pledged to your damn flag

this is the best sex i ever had

'cause black folks got fucked over and over and over

i'm so sober and i'm clear

you know i don't wanna hear everything that you said

i ain't playing

need some burning thumbs

my gal don't wanna be a bitch no more

i don't wanna be a nigga

sick of drinking

i just wanna get my money right

i don't wanna pop no mollies

i don't wanna kill nobody

kids dying up in chi-town

if you feel me

put your lighters up

until you burn your damn thumb

till you burn your damn thumb

my gal don't wanna be a bitch no more

i don't wanna be a nigga

sick of drinking

i just wanna get my money right

i don't wanna pop no mollies

i don't wanna kill nobody

kids dying up in chi-town

if you feel me

put your lighters up

until you burn your damn thumb

until you burn your damn thumb
