Bryson Gray - Persecuted lyrics
[Bryson Gray - Persecuted lyrics]
I put on this hat and I got persecuted
I'm not surprised 'cause I already knew it
My friends and my family told me not to do it
The radio station stopped playing my music
I guess I should rap
About killing and shooting
Talk about drugs and how I abuse it
You only got one life to live better use it
I'm tryna spark a change before I lose it
I lost some close friends
Like Taylor and Joey
It's crazy 'cause I used to
Say that they know me
God always show me the fake and
Phony but I kept it real
I just feel like they owe me
I had a flight to Miami
And cancelled it just so
My friends could go see it out with me
I had a show at the club and gave back some
Money so they can all get in there with me
Remember my parents said if I keep talking
About politics they would no longer invest
Now I'm taking shots of Tito's
In the White House i guess sometimes you can
Say children know best
It's obvious that they still
Proud of they son, 'cause I kept it real
They expect nothing less
People in my city pray for my death
But they know I'm strapped I'm
Prepared for the threats
Not used to people coming to my defense
I'm usually the one that the world is against
It's crazy gettin' invited to
Events but still got
A job for my bills and my rent
Family turned on me it's cool 'cause I'm lit
Had to make this song so I could vent
I went viral I've been the most hated since
You say you want smoke that's
What you gon' get
We been voting Democrat how many years
They come for your vote
Then they all disappear
Take advantage of emotions and fears
Y'all still giving them the
Praise and the cheers
Which President getting us out of them jails?
Give us a second chance after the cell?
Which president brought back the
Right to pray? You choose to give all to God
You choose to go to heaven or hell
They say they gon' get me, I say "LOL"
Do this for culture not fame or no sales
I take all the bullets get up like "oh well"
If you scared of to make
A change you already failed
I'm not a victim 'cause I am a victor
It's deeper than color see the bigger picture
I say I pick God first
And they all get triggered
I say I pick God first
And they all get triggered, yeah
They all get triggered, yeah
I say I pick God first
And they all get triggered, yeah
They all get triggered, yeah
I put on this hat and I got persecuted
I'm not surprised 'cause I already knew it
My friends and my family told me not to do it
The radio station stopped playing my music
I guess I should rap
About killing and shooting
Talk about drugs and how I abuse it
You only got one life to live better use it
I'm tryna spark a change before I lose it
