Why Do We Hate?
[Intro]
This song is dedicated to those who can't fight for themselves
And have to endure the verbal pain by others
But this is for real, I'm not making a satirical joke like Billy
Alright, here we go
[Verse]
Over the past years, I've watched the news almost every week
And I always see blacks die by white police's feets
You got Amadou back in the good ol' days in '99
Even though '99 was one of the years to spawn crime
And then you got Sean in 2005
Got killed just the day or night before marrying his bride
And I'd hate to be in the position of Sean's wife
How she couldn't see her husband one last time
Finally, to end it, let's talk about Micheal in 2014
Got killed by a man for doing absolutely nothing
Yet going through that man's mind is he is doing something
Had to shoot instead of questioning him while cuffing
If we can't live in a peaceful world, why be here?
Because blacks will keep dying by whites every year
It's like pure racism is back, and it is making it clear
How blacks can not be present near whites, can not be near
[Hook]
If you lost somebody to these crimes, please, speak up
Because if you don't, it will not make a difference
It'll just have people make mixed opinions on what's right or wrong
So just speak up, before others might die like them
[Ending]
I know how this rap isn't the usual I am always featured in
But I did have to make a serious and right statement
Instead of just laying low in my cold, dark basement
I had to make light of a controversial topic, man
This song is dedicated to those who can't fight for themselves
And have to endure the verbal pain by others
But this is for real, I'm not making a satirical joke like Billy
