Up's & Downs - K.A.A.N.

You ever wonder who you are?

No more than a human being

If anything’s possible why we stuck in this living hell?

Why cops killing niggas and then remain free?

Administrative paid leave to help relieve the stress

Leave the bereaved to bleed and starve there to defend themselves

Desensitize our minds

Normalize the savagery so we become accustomed to it

Useless all this falls on deaf ears

I pray it never does

Hopeless trying to find the light

Hopefully this sounding right

Singing like I’m Donnie Hathaway

Half the way out the window

Falling, playing K-Dot and J-Rock

Talking about money trees

Woe is me

Hope I see brighter pallets

Colors and poetry

Master composer, he held his own like he was supposed to

See, you ever wonder why there’s have’s and have-not's?

While the have’s have what the have-not's need

The hunger pain inside your stomach like you ain’t ate in weeks

You feel it deep inside your soul, it makes you mentally weak

Enough to drive a man crazy, change his mentality

'Cause ain’t nobody trying to starve with a family to feed

That bill collector ain’t gon' hear financial difficulties

Proceed to cutting out the lights and turning off all the heat

Let’s face the facts

Let’s face the facts

Let’s face the facts

Said I been feeling oh so low sometimes

(So low)

I been feeling oh so low sometimes

(So low)

I been feeling oh so high sometimes

(So high)

I been feeling oh so high sometimes

(So high)

I’m trying to deal with my own issues

This ain’t no bigger picture

Looking at life different

Control with this power steering

I speak and I hope they listen

My all in the same position

One hundred percent efficient

I’m wishing for brighter days

I only get dark times

A writer like Langston Hughes

Society’s in my views

Recording these lonesome tools

Expose and use all my blues

The darkest of darkest hues

Marcus Garvey, my God, and spirit, my story

You gotta hear it, my story

You gotta hear it

I said my story, you gotta hear it

Said I been feeling oh so low sometimes

(So low)

I been feeling oh so low sometimes

(So low)

I been feeling oh so high sometimes

(So high)

I been feeling oh so high sometimes

(So high)
