"When your kids go to school, do you feel safe? / When you walk in the streets, don't you feel hate?" he raps over producer Young Martey's watery electric piano and the uncertain harmony of the beat."My self awareness inspired me to come up with the perfect lyrics for this song," Flemings told Noisey over email. "Having the knowledge of one's own character is very powerful today, sometimes you may not have the emotional intelligence to make certain decisions which is why being conscious about everything around you is extremely important."
