Verse 1: |
|
See from my perspective, |
|
Been thinking about this election |
|
Wish we could' ve had more selections |
|
Wish they saw from our perspectives |
|
Being scared of guessing |
|
What the future of our country holds |
|
Y' all already living large |
|
We gotta stay on our toes |
|
See from my perspective |
|
I get on IG |
|
and see another chick around 23 about to drop a baby |
|
Don' t wanna see from that perspective |
|
But Im still acting reckless, |
|
Skipping out on contraceptives |
|
See from my perspective, |
|
I' m around and around |
|
By the time I settle down |
|
I' ll be a step dad |
|
Now, |
|
I' m seeing Jon' s perspective |
|
I understand why he wants to wife quick |
|
Nothing like having your own crib with your own kids |
|
See from my perspective |
|
As a man |
|
With his head on straight, |
|
Im a target everyday |
|
Y' all haven' t had a way to get us out this country |
|
Since slavery |
|
So you gave us war on drugs, prison cells, and poverty |

Verse 2: |
|
See from my perspective |
|
I saw a girl |
|
Walking through Anacostia |
|
In the night time , |
|
Back in the 90' s that' ll be costing your |
|
life |
|
They didn' t see from our perspective |
|
Kicked us all right out of DC |
|
With no conscious effort |
|
Used to be chocolate city |
|
Now there' s a Starbucks sitting |
|
On every street corner, |
|
Y' all up traffic, I hate taking the hike to Waldorf, |
|
To visit my mama |
|
And now the suburbs are infiltrated with drama |
|
See from our perspective |
|
Having to worry about being 10x |
|
better |
|
Or I' m losing my cheddar |
|
To a man, woman |
|
Or a race that' s a level |
|
Still higher than black |
|
We' re at the bottom |
|
I fail to |
|
Understand, |
|
Why y' all people want to be like us, |
|
Rock the braids, do the dances, speak the slang like us |
|
Our perspective isn' t a thing that you can ever adjust to, |
|
Y' all don' t with us anyway, |
|
Y' all want what we produce, |
|

Oh my God man, it took me years to do this show, |
|
Boy DC has changed! It' s different now |
|
It' s a lot of white people walking around isn' t it? |
|
I mean, I left DC in the 80' s, |
|
It was not like this in the 80' s |
|
When crack was going on, |

Remember when crack was going on? |
