And Yet Still

[Chorus] One thing's for certain, one thing’s for sure Nothing is certain, nothing is sure Nobody's perfect, no such thing as pure What gave you purpose may take back more [Verse 1] Red for the natives, white for the invaders Blue for the ocean we crossed when they enslaved us Green for the money they made and never gave us Purple for the way they behave as if they saviors Black, strong, and healthy likе America's worst drain They tryna make fad еrry new rapper first name No shame up until the point that the nurse came Fit check you ain’t finna pass, but the shirt flame Working less than we used to for more But more ain't the more that we're used to before Hustle for a check like runnin' for a baton As soon as you collect, go and hand it off, poor Hurry on back to the drawin' board but can't afford a pencil No incentive to go on forward I spend it all in once place, prolly in one day Inflation got me hatin' on a trip to the corner store [Chorus] One thing's for certain, one thing’s for sure Nothing is certain, nothing is sure Nobody’s perfect, no such thing as pure What gave you purpose may take back more [Verse 2] Somewhere in between, we find happiness But I don't want misses so I never see mattresses Complainin’ to our leaders an excuse that they glad to get A slogan on a poster makin' voters combatative Stupidity's so rampant, I can't even get mad at it Learnin’ how to learn ain't what we teach in the manuscripts Entire generations unequipped for they challenges No knowledge of prevention but a scholar in bandages I mean, what's the advantage here? The ceilin' or chandelier As long as it is beautiful, who cares if we stranded here? War ain't on the channels—it's covered by scandals Another rap beef, blindfolded in lamb's wool When you pull the trigger, I don't care what ya mans do Y'all verses are examples of egos in shambles Y'all don't keep it G—I alpha-bet you don't plan to I speak without fear, I could never get canceled [Chorus] One thing's for certain, one thing's for sure Nothing is certain, nothing is sure Nobody's perfect, no such thing as pure What gave you purpose may take back more
