(:22) Im from a place, where your race, can get you blackballed, Whats worse capped off on the asphalt, Slow hearse, cold dirt and a last call, and then thats all, Tears fall but the cries seem silent, Crime scenes quiet, living where the fight seems giant, Even when theyre walking with their hands up, pants up, vans, chucks, might seem violent, So much confusion and anger the pain could swallow whole, An honest soul lifes limited honor stole stead of honor rolls Thats not to say everyone is an angel just every passing is painful, Especially when every actions aimed to degrade you, Dehumanizing you and I and brutalizing through the lies The bluest skies and human cries fall victim to the foolish pride, Of another who doesnt notice a brother, a sister, father or mother, A lover what a wonderful word to utter, The wicked ways of a world in which we under value, Lives that seem distant and different in the end I wonder how you, Dont see yourself in each and every individual, Living conditions pitiful, ridicule but Ill riddle you, This, could it be the distance that you once relied upon provides a calm, Before the storm afforded a fire bomb and a firearm, You dont see the value cuz youre not willing to notice, Imprisoned with motives to overthrow this bogus notion, Open the focus, know this that simply hoping is hopeless, Those are just stones that were throwing into oceans of open, Wounds, created over time, heal in often even more, Hard to convince us all of whats needed more than even scores, (1:30) Uneven wars, This is the plight that were living, To fight a system where might is right and our rights are still missing, And at times, it seems they probably plot your quick demise, Victimized by vicious lies, Picket signs for picking sides, This is my little light hope it might shine a hopeful glimmer, Illuminate the soulless sinners, hearts just like the coldest winters, And Im just living within, I didnt sign for this, Absent mindedness, license for lies disguised as righteousness, Ask for rights and entice flashing lights could spark a clash and fight, But passion prides itself on not bending knees when disaster strikes, How can you claim to be human, witness another suffering, Only advice, develop tougher skin or tuck it in, Meaning your pain as if a hardened exterior is part of the problem, Part of reinforcing thoughts youre inferior, Often in fear of your life from those that claim protect and serve, See it all too often you step with caution, a lessons learn, But could it be that, the distance that you once relied upon provides a calm, Before the storm afforded a fire bomb and a firearm, You dont see the yourself cuz youre not willing to notice, Imprisoned with motives to overthrow this bogus notion, Open the focus, know this that simply hoping is hopeless, Those are just stones that were throwing into oceans of open, Wounds, created over time, heal in often even more, The pursuit of freedom is something worth risking our freedom for...
