歌曲歌詞
Meek Mill：
How I keep from goin' under
It's like a jungle outside
Sometimes I wonder how I keep from goin' under
We scream Black Lives Matter but we still toting ladders
Watching our own brothers trying to get at us
Dreams get shattered when a scene full of crackers
And they charge you with some sh*t you ain't do
You like what happened
We go get lawyers to say sh*t we don't know how to talk
They told us to hate each other before we learn how to walk
Mama taught you how to fight fight
Before she taught you how to write right
And daddy locked down in the cell can't kiss you night night
Monsters under the bed every night feel like it's fright night
Coke fumes in the air mama holding on that pipe tight
And you catchin' contact but never mind that
In a world where Black is wrong
And white right it's like a combat
We go to war for our freedom they say we equal
I used to wanna play like Randall and be an Eagle
I used to play the quarterback my dog would go receiver
That was 'til the ball got flat by a d**e needle on the pavement
It's amazin' this environment we was raised in
On them papers one mistake and I'm gettin' caged in
You gotta feel me feel like the system tryna kill me
Got arrested and the charges F1 for popping wheelies stay woke
Miguel：
It was designed for us to fail
We still prevail through the hell
Yeah can you believe it
We're still undefeated
Though it was designed for us to lose
We'll still make it through nothing's impossible
Believe it
We're still undefeated
Meek Mill：
Picture me ten years younger with some tats on my face
Takin' a bunch of Xannys with the strap on my waist
Pointin' it at the camera like mama ain't teach me manners
Tryna see mo' bills
Like I'm headed to Alabama no wait
I can't judge them I'm just trying to understand them
'Cause I used to pop Percs pourin' purple in my Fanta
Had me swerving in my Phantom like I'm runnin' from my dreams
I was headed for the slammer I was plantin' all the seed
For them to bury me I had my whole family mad at me
Fell deep in love with the game and it married me
Judge said I'll give you a chance just don't embarrass me
Motivatin' these little n**gas is like a charity
Community service even though they knew we was workin'
They did this to me on purpose 'cause I ain't movin' too perfect
I stay away from them clowns watch how I move through the circus
'Cause they be weighing you down
Even some of them dudes in your circle stay woke
Miguel：
Though it's designed for us to fail yeah
We still prevail through the hell yeah
Can you believe it
We're still undefeated
Though it was designed for us to lose
Nothing nothing nothing's impossible no
Believe it
We're still undefeated
Meek Mill：
How can I pledge allegiance to the flag
When they killin' all our sons all our dads
I come from a place when you kill your own brother you can brag
Like he got bodies but that's a fad no that's a fact
I'm screamin' out at your corner n**ga that's a trap
Screamin' out at your homie n**ga that's a rat
Catch a case with him bet he crack
The odds against you and they double stacked stay woke
Bought my mom a new crib that's some gangster sh*t
Niece and nephews walking around wearing minks and sh*t
Kept the hood motivated this the thanks I get
Try to Ja Rule the kid on some Wanksta sh*t
But that's impossible 'cause I'm unstoppable
The label can't drop me n**ga I'm too valuable
You thought I would lose but I won and that bothered you
Still movin' 'round in Philly just like the mobsters do
When I talked to Em and Hov they said I'm proud of you
You stood tall back when everyone doubted you
My reply is I did what I gotta do
And I need that verse 'fore you retire too
Jumping all the obstacles I'm way too wavy
Said I would lose boy you way too crazy
Pick and choose either fame or the money fame will make you crazy
And the money will make them bad b**ches say thank you baby
You're welcome
