I tried to be optimistic
About the world that we live in
I spill these words from my spirit
So I just hope that you feel it
The world we live in is wicked
I lost my friend to a pistol
The shit that's supposed to protect us the shit they using against you
We just blind to the issues
That's why I find instrumentals
To try to reach individuals
Who wanna strengthen their mental
Killin seem fundamental
But justice isn't sequential
They better tell us the deal they got my folks in a pickle
They say black lives matter
But with all do respect
I know black lives matter
Just not in the U.S
That's why I stayed with the vest
They ain't takin me next
They ain't takin me ever
I want the same for the rest
Wanted the same for trayvon
Alton sterling And mike
John Crawford the third Eric Garner Mir Rice
They put my folks in the projects
Then give em weapons and drugs
You couple that with no money
You get the label of thugs
Know who ya presidents was
Know the history and past
Know the system is broken
And can't be fixed with a cast
We only killin each other because y'all makin us mad
And y'all ducked off in the burbs
And niggas can't afford gas
That's more profound than you thinkin
But they don't think we profound
Why would I hold up ya flag
If you ain't holding us down
It's been a long time coming
But we gon be there in a little while
Keep the faith and help to teach a child
What goes around always comes around
It's been a long time coming
But we gon be there in a little while
Keep the faith and help to teach a child
What goes around always comes around
