Painfully taking my sins to the grave
As you look me in my eyes and read nothing but pain
The truth in my voice , is from a soul that'll never fade
You think clarity comes from just flipping a page
Working for corporations and saving from minimum wage
When is it enough
Understatements and misunderstandings behind the eyes of the tough
Bullets fly through the sky for antagonist that'll buck
Thats just the logic of the world
We're here to provide and love , but killing each other constructed imbalance now we fucking up
You stand tall for what you believe in,
I advise you put a hand up
Main topic of conversation turned to arguments always require a band up
Well stand up
Because take a look at how we living
Knees down on the ground
Guns pointed with precision
Flashlights are blinding you
Contemplating their decisions
White and Blue lights , K9's , and lethal weapons
Incarceration a fear tactic
To enslave and decompose
They covered our race with concrete
But from the cracks , we rose
They flooded our home with narcotics
Turned our freedom to payroll
Ever wonder when the violence is gonna stop?
Its starts with our environment
The focus is not from the top
Take a look around the room
But don't speak a single word
Silence is killing the mind
Some mentally disturbed
So whats the greatest source of relief
Many people believe drugs
But I'd love to see how many people
Would see a broken individual and offer a hug
I'm not insinuating that every person is the same
But I'm establishing a place of love that was removed from our brain
Positive affirmations can save a life any day
Our depression hits home , once we start sharing memories
Whether the scars come from friends , family or enemies
We all have a memory, that even hurts to think about
Its brings back the emotion we have to smoke weed about
The tears start to form from reliving that very moment
A lot of us succumb to drowning that memory with alcoholic potions
I'm a victim and a survivor to say the very least
Until I realized I was the owner of this house, and let people fuck up my peace
I hold my arms out to people and accept the scars that come with
I knew that in my heart, there's consequences behind this.
I accepted my assignment and signed with my own blood
There will never be a life in mines that can't be saved with love
So when you hold your head low , and heart begins to shrink
Just call my phone for a couple hours , I'll be there within a blink
Pain is my version of love with memories that connot be erased due to the wounds inside of me.
But that very same pain is where the love leaks out of me.
