Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Elohim)
You can't kill me, I belong to Elohim
(God)
Black is my skin, hands up! Don't shoot
(African)
Braids and dreadlocks go deep in our roots
(American)
You can't kill me, I belong to Elohim
(God)
Black is my skin, hands up! Don't shoot
(African)
Braids and dreadlocks go deep in our roots
(American)
Rapping in the county with Ceno on the block
(Maywood)
Years before I even heard of Christian hip hop
(Yeah)
I heard he got killed while at the gas station
(Man)
Real nightmare worse than Freddy or Jason
Grind ten years bought my own family a home
(Grind)
Breakaway from toxic people, Israel, shalom
(Israel)
Living check to check and struggling to pay rent
Praying God bless my five loaves and my two fish
(Miracle)
Champion like the Lakers, Warrior undertaker
(Bars)
Smiles for my haters and love for my neighbors
(Love)
One true God and his name not Satan
(Lucifer)
Ahab stop cappin' Jezebel stop hatin' (Devils)
Refused to get entangled like God or the angels
(Jada)
Ducking strange women 'cause Lord know they dangerous
(Yep)
Lady being nice but I know she a devil
(Witch)
Know I got a wife and still on whatever
(Witch)
You can't kill me, I'm a child of the King
You can't kill me, I belong to Elohim
(God)
Black is my skin, hands up! Don't shoot

The self-righteous say, what type of pastor are you? (religious)
Where were you when I got chased by the blue? (12)
Where were you when I got kicked out of school? (Proviso)
Where were you when I didn't know what to do? (lost)
Auntie Lola told me to just kill myself
(Shame)
I don't think so, witch, I'm blessed by the best
(Jesus)
No genuine love, only scorn and mean mugs
(Hateful)
RIP to my dad, Pretty Percy, June Bug
(Percy)
Heart beating fast poled up Windy City
(Chi)
Insane P going through a local Wendy's
(Dad)
Get on the ground! This is a stickup
(Man)
The story repeated to me by my uncle Sawbuck
(Pervis)
Chased by the police and jumped on the e-way
(Maywood)
Broke both wrists and five years had a place to stay
(Man)
Five years in the state pen, removed from kin
(Man)
Returned a long hair, muscular man no longer thin
(My dad)
You can't kill me, I'm a child of the King
You can't kill me, I belong to Elohim
(God)
Black is my skin, hands up! Don't shoot
(African)
Braids and dreadlocks go deep in our roots
