Medals

Don’t ask me to run it back to you
Don’t ask me to jump, I’ll crack the hoop
Don’t mind me, I’m young & black & blue
Don’t like me, I’m outta love for you
PRE-CHORUS
I’ve been stuck in place, been stuck out of place at the same time
I’ve been knocking, nothing, running outta patience, now I’ll take mine
I’m just trynna get to where I wanna get to
I been trynna step through, now I’m trynna get through I been called a pot
I been called an empty Kettle
Now I’m on my mettle
Now I want my medals
I done ran fast, now I done gone long
I done jumped high, now I want my and 1 I been called a pot
I been called an empty Kettl
Now I’m on my mettle
Now I want my medals
Thy come for me when I’m comfortable (I was just chilling)
They come for me with the constable (Stand your ground? Are you kidding)
Now I’m, just another black boy on the color tube (we're just hashtags &
headlines) Where’s color in the constitution
PRE-CHORUS
I’ve been stuck in place, been stuck out of place at the same time
I’ve been knocking, nothing, running outta patience, now I’ll take mine
I’m just trynna get to where I wanna get to
I been trynna step through, now I’m trynna get through I been called a pot
I been called an empty Kettle
Now I’m on my mettle
Now I want my medals
I done ran fast, now I done gone long
I done jumped high, now I want my and 1 I been called a pot
I been called an empty Kettle
Now I’m on my mettle
Now I want my medals
