lyrics

(Intro) See, I wake up every morning man/ I check the news, first think I see is some one dead/ or somebody getting shot or some town burning/ I kind of got sick of it/ so, I thought I’d write a song about it/

(Chorus) I see these things everyday, it’s happening around my/ No, No, No!/ will we ever get sick and tired/ tired of waking up seeing who died/

(Verse)
I’m not woke I’m just a sight seeier/ a visionary in my class not a mind reader/ yeah! I walk the earth and visit many places/ I smiled a lot and rubbed my hands across so many faces/Fo’Sho, life’s ian imitation of past confrontations/ victory is lost and I already lost my patience/ maybe that path and a birth of a new nation/ cross pollination I’m sending sad salutations/ so, get your mind right time is back in the mirror/ the future looks young and bygone is another era/ population is purging/ no economic in splurging/ hate is on the plate/ Jim Crow and its re-insurgents/ I don’t know the truth but I know lying will never make it/ and they will never stop if you just sit back and take it/ we all want to break it/ some only seem to fake it/ it’s all about the money time for some compensation/ yeah!

(Chorus)

(Verse)
Open your eyes and see the world turning/ the new clash of the titans Poseidon is still burning/ we learning equal lust then maduessa turns us to dust/ in a world full of fear no body that we can trust/ I’m still hiding behind the mirror/ the future seems close but it’s far and a little clearer/ the murder rate increased but I just follow you on my Twitter/ blinded by the glitter/ the fruits of my labor seem bitter/ but I’m no quitter/ now where the people at/ holding the Grimm reaper back/ the pressure is the force that divides reverse and circles back/ a rare bread gorilla in the misses a true silver back/ Mighty Joe Young, Rampage on the attack/ in fact I persevere but I’m just slow to react/ every question is a clue from the forward to abstract/ I feel the impact /hold tight keep it intact/ I feel the pain so I just fade into the black/

(Chorus)

(Verse)
Dear lord can you save me from these complications/ teach me to hope, and how to love, and make some room for patients/ spread inspiration through these hard times/ moments of truth may burry you take a hard line/ it’s time to shine/ it’s yours light a fire like the dude from the Doors/ buy a crib down in Jersey take a walk on the shores/ we Moore’s kings and queens Prince Hikim with a dream/ it’s America so everything is not what it seems/ for a dub you get a knee leave you dead at the scene/ 8 shots the back paralyzed in your jeans/ that good trouble will have you murdered face down in the street/ it’s survival of the fittest ain’t no room for the weak/ thats deep say a prayer think of heaven when you sleep/ take a minute choose your words have compassion when you speak/ take the liberty to live cause all happiness is cheap/ cause it ain’t what it is when your cover with white sheets.

(Chorus)

(Kamilah) Like my Daddy said, stop the violence and kick the science.
