Peace Piece |
I tried to take the high road |
Let bygones be bygones |
I tried to take the high road |
But now another life’s gone |
What you expect from me? |
To turn the other cheek? |
All you bring is war, asking me for peace |
What you expect from me, when all you bring is greed |
All you bring is war, asking me for peace |
But now I gotta piece piece piece |
But now I gotta piece piece piece |
But now I gotta piece piece piece |
But now I gotta piece piece piece |
Yeah, yeah |
Yeah, they say let’s make America great again |
Except for the slavery and genocide |
When we killed all the natives and steal their tribes |
And the time we denied the women’s rights, huh |
Talkin' 'bout great, like the AIDS outbreak |
Like when they brought crack cocaine to the hood |
Like when they brought heroin to the states |
Look, justice is not on the internet |
Equality don’t have a Twitter account |
The last words that a man should ever hear |
Should never be, «Get on the ground» |
Our culture so misunderstood, it’s cloudy up over the hood |
I’m thinkin' about packin' my bags and leavin' this country for good |
Glock, Glock in my car for your probable cause |
'Cause even the law don’t follow the law |
Guess it’s my fault for being black |
A country built on my people backs |
Up in first class, yeah, my seat is back |
Even when I’m bored and I’m tryna see my past |
Tell me, if you had a chance, would you go back in time to see the past? |
Waitin', waitin', waitin' for reparation |
For the end of segregation |
All we got was a month and a television station |
All they teach is slavery and we celebrate it |
They turn the cheek if we should perish, huh |
But just remember you can’t spell America without Eric, Bandz |
I tried to take the high road |
Let bygones be bygones |
I tried to take the high road |
But now another life’s gone |
What you expect from me? |
To turn the other cheek? |
All you bring is war, asking me for peace |
What you expect from me, when all you bring is greed |
All you bring is war, asking me for peace |
But now I gotta piece piece piece |
But now I gotta piece piece piece |
But now I gotta piece piece piece |
But now I gotta piece piece piece |
Yeah, yeah |
By any means necessary |
Lately too many mommas out here bearin' babies |
Really ain’t safe 'round here no more |
Scared of the law when they head outdoors |
And will we ever be at peace, man? |
I ain’t sure |
But for now I’m like Malcolm out the window, it’s simple altercation |
Got these motherfuckers blazin' |
And I ain’t tryna say bye to my kinfolk |
They choke us out like what they need a noose for? |
Gentrify like fuck wherever you go |
Prison walls nowadays big biz |
Give us dope then lock us up to get riches |
Then send us out to a job we can’t get |
You had that nigga flipped now you back in the system |
That’s a cold game, man, aww dog |
If there’s a God pray she listenin' |
The president don’t give a fuck about us |
The government don’t give a fuck either |
They talkin' make America great again |
I just wanna save my people |
I just want that 40 acres and a mule |
Another promise didn’t fall through |
Just a whole lot of propaganda and lyin' to me and you |
I tried to take the high road |
I tried to take the high road |
Let bygones be bygones |
I tried to take the high road |
But now another life’s gone |
What you expect from me? |
To turn the other cheek? |
All you bring is war, asking me for peace |
What you expect from me, when all you bring is greed |
All you bring is war, asking me for peace |
But now I gotta piece piece piece |
But now I gotta piece piece piece |
But now I gotta piece piece piece |
But now I gotta piece piece piece |
Yeah, yeah |
