Verse 1

Im in the lobby about to make a scene
I got questions I need answered
Politicians on the tv screen
Might as well be holograms cause
I ain't see them in the streets
Never heard them speakers weep
We ain't had a voice till we found a beat
I could smoke a pound of weed
And still not be high enough
For them to hear me out
What is that about, huh?
Obama let me down
So I'm cashin' out
They all the same when they in the house
Question now
Who they workin' for
They ain't reppin' us
Kanye was right when he ever spoke didn't gave a fuck
So here I am
Nothing more than a man
Nothing less than the rest
But still I hope for a chance
I know the future is cold
I know the present is tense
I know the dollar run the world
I'm just trying to make sense
Yeah

Hook

If I open my eyes again, will I see the end?
Or will I fall again?
If they come for my life again? Will they see the end?
Or will I fall again?

Verse 2

Whatchu' gonn' do when the whole world gone crazy?
Like right now when police are shooting at babies?
Not yet grown, still get popped in the dome
First they see you foreclose
Now they robbing your home, whoa
Redlining is illegal
Pay order is illegal
But gentrifying is the latest thing they buying
And all you hear are major label artists on the radio
I ain't hating though, I'm just saying though
What are you saying when you singing on the microphone?
People listen yo
That's whatchu' famous for
Turning dollars into change we can save the globe
But most times we don't
We just smoke up and fall back and stay safe at home
Tune out go numb
While they pull out they guns
Tears fill my lungs while the streets fill with blood

Bridge

Look at these flames
All the fire from your cannon make it hard for me to see another way
I ain't running I ain't ducking but I'm damn sure ain't staying in the blast no
I'm a king and my queen need a brother who can keep her out the grave
Whole world gone crazy
Whole world gone crazy

Hook

If I open my eyes again, will I see the end?
Or will I fall again?
If they come for my life again? Will they see the end?
Or will I fall again?

Verse 3

Dash cam footage seeing bodies dropping
Twitter timeline got us all talking
Are we the generation who's gonn' do something?
That's an honest question
See my nephew playing with guns make-believing and such
Had to tell him about Timir Rice and take away the fun
Now he resents the fact that he's black
Said he wishes he was light-skinned like I am
Self-hate
Stereotypes
Make the narrowest minds
They been handing us lies since the beginning of time
Displacing the kings
Raping the queens so they can break up the dream
I tell my story to story to ---
It's a wonderful ---
Porter prince in my heart
Holocaust on my mouth
I write a rhyme lookin' fly
Some of these artists are gods
I ain't dismissing your problems
I know never they've never been mine
Never walked in your shoes
Ain't gonn' stop walking in mine
There's a problem with hip hop polarizing our thoughts
You mean they say I ain't real cause I got positive vibes?
You mean to say he can't perform cause he called her a charge
People judging like a competition
Gimmicks like a politician
City segregated, music venues no exception
You know the message
That's unless you never listen
Microphone checkin' when I hold my weapon
I know everything I do is a blessing
From the water that I drink to the food I'm digesting
I seen people die and fighting just to find some peace
It's ironic thinking violence will get us where we need
-----
Sometimes it does
Sometimes you can't just run you stand up
My mother raised me a man
My father raised me a leader
The world made me a rapper
Stumping in my Adidas
I don't need a plaque
I don't need a meal
I just need to eat
I just need to feel
Like I'm speaking my real
Or I might explode
My mind might just go
I seen too much pain to not change the globe, yeah
If I don't see the end
I pray you hear me now
I pray you understand
This is more to me
I never wanted to be anything more than you I just want to be part of the peace, peace
