Tumultu |
| 2017 and the earth is filled with violence |
| Turmoil creepin in the mindstate |
| The media been tryin to start a race war |
| While the rich still unaffected by the crime rate |
| Irate citizens are in the street demanding change |
| But none of us agree on what to change to |
| Im sittin here just plottin on a move while the fam |
| Steady prayin that this industry don’t change you |
| And I ain’t finna compromise nothin |
| People said I’m switchin sides but yall frontin |
| Homie you don’t really know my heart |
| This my work and I’ma do this thing with all my might |
| Boy thats on my life |
| You don’t like the things I’m sayin in my music |
| You don’t have to listen when I’m speakin on it |
| If I’m promising you one thing that you can expect from me |
| I guarantee you I’mma always keep it honest |
| Yeah, Indie tribe you know we’ve been up on it yeah |
| Chewin up every single opponent, yeah |
| But who’s my competition but my brothers |
| Jealousy has gotten into me comparing me to another |
| When I see their accomplishments and accolades |
| I get jaded but I keep it hidden from my face |
| Cause I don’t want the world to see me as I really am |
| A self-righteous hypocrite thats always throwin shade, yeah |
| On January first of every year I open up my bible |
| And I always say I’m gonna talk to God more |
| By January fifth I hit Leviticus |
| And then I start to question everything that I believe in God for |
| By January 10th I put it down |
| And drown in doubt I’m down and out |
| Convinced that I have fallen out of grace now |
| Then I remember when You showed my Your face |
| The world is hungry for Your love and I’ve been runnin in place |
| So now I’m askin for Your help to get me back in this race |
| And I’mma speak my testimony just to give em a taste |
| Of what Your freedom really like before I hear it’s too late |
| Cause I got homies droppin dead from all these pills that they take |
| Ayo this thing an epidemic you can’t fathom the rate |
| And all rappers on the radio stay movin that weight |
| And I won’t hesitate to call you out when I know you’re fake |
| That goes to Future Juicy J and all the rest of you lames, yeah |
| If I had started making music just so I could get wealthy |
| I’d have gone to law school so Donald Trump would expel me |
| Then I’d sue the government in hopes that it would propel me |
| On my Zach De La Rocha, I won’t do what you tell me |
| Got a lot of hatred in my heart I need y’all to help me |
| I need you to pray for me, I need you to check me |
| Cause when I see my sin as God does it wrecks me |
| And I need that perspective up in my life to correct me |
| If racism dead, why are churches segregated? |
| This the land of the free |
| But lead the world in incarcerated citizens |
| With the minimum sentences |
| Still a remnant of the thing we thought we changed with the 13th amendment |
| We still growin, still movin |
| We stay steady, we go through it |
| We ain’t losin and y’all knew it |
| Don’t see the world in the same way I used to |
| The current state is tumultu |
| (Splash into water) |
| People say that drowning is actually a really peaceful way to die. |
| It’s not difficult to see why. |
| After the shock and hysteria passes, |
| after fluids finally fill your lungs as you struggle to hold your breath, |
| a certain serenity takes hold after you surrender. |
| But you don’t die |
| immediately, you become numb. |
| And the longer that you’re under, the more you |
| forget what could have been. |
| And you lose perspective on what’s about to happen |
