AJ 773, Keeko, Nubian - In The Air (Reasonable Fear) lyrics

So how can I go on knowing my fate?
Me & a demon in a
Black robe discussing setting dates
My heart pounding, mounting
I see disgust in his face behind this case
His decisions based off of my race
Every second minute hour devoured
Quicker than normal
Battling spirit's in my mental
Knowing I'm no mere mortal
To the state's attorney
Understand I feel no ill will toward you
However, I can't speak for whether God
Will have mercy on you
My folks and family to whom
This verse is dedicated
Faith & focus on which
My success was predicated
Life changing obstacles on my
Road to get educated
Refusing to yield using this
Pen as my medication young black man
I'm always the one that they
Leave the blame for
The welfare of my family
Who you think I bear the pain for
I'm irrelevant yet I'm the one
They taking aim for
When I'm focused then I'm focused
And I'm getting what I came for

I can feel it, all over
I can feel it, all over me
I can feel it all over all over, all over me

Genuineness is vital
You really can't fake what's real
Go through your system and survive
Yet you're hating me still?
Tribulations demonstrating how to win and
I made it real i wasn't in the car
So how could I let Jesus take the wheel?
Hindsight, twenty-twenty
Almost immaculate what's after it
The vision tunnel, as a result
Making me more passionate
They try to stunt your growth
Job apps with an asterisk
The shit's depressing
Can't sugarcoat it no way you package it
Heart & money synonymous
They may get mad at this
People that have to say they got
It usually be lacking it
I don't, therefore, I care more and work more
To whom much is given much is required
Therefore it hurts more
God's mercy on the bigots who want to
See me in a hearse more
Reminiscing on days when I used
To go church more
Crooked clansmen in uniform in the
Crown Vic's alert more
Want us in the jam or on
The front of tee shirts more

I can feel it all over all over
All over me

The community straining although we
Knowing we deserve more
Youngins with pistols and weed
That like to curse more
Leaders crippled by fear that don't allow
Them to be heard more
Legal action attacking bashing as
The world turns more
Hope is like a crutch to
Those who yearn for more
Work ethic instilled young
I feel obligated to earn more
Communicating at my peak
I seem to come to terms more
Negativity and hatred
Seeming to be spurned more
Children dying daily walking to school
Trying to learn more
Murder capital so mother's nightmares
Are confirmed more
The flame of senseless violence in my
City seems to burn more
Police pressure and stress instead of
Protect and serve more
Quote unquote real niggas ain't sticking
To they word more repetitive cycle
First-degree they taking turns more
Positivity to the wayside til we affirm more
Rest in peace Blessings on y'all
Try to be concerned more

I can feel it all over me
I can feel it all over

I can feel it in the air right now
Ain't no way I'll ever let them tear me down
