Equals

You and I We're just different colors Different people got different mothers Dodging bullets yeah they missed another No one's safe better run for cover To love yourself gotta love another You can't get lightning without the thunder The one you shots probably got a brother They all say truth has been on the surface Think they're scared to show us what's under If we knew would it all be worth it Can't do too much when we're just a number You or me could pointing the muzzle of a gun far away at a distant cousin We won't know cause they told us nothing Ain't thinking 'bout lives while they pressing buttons I ain't above 'em but truthfully I ain't on either side neither And what's with the leaking of emails then turn right around expect us to believe her Dividing the people by building a wall as we all stand aside in the bleachers I guess I grew up with a different belief in what I would define as a leader Killing each other is killing our kind Live in a prison that's greater than time Hatred and greed are consuming our minds Are we at fault for not reading these signs Turning a shoulder while little kids die You be the judge if the morals apply At the rate we are going we will not survive Are you prepared to look death in the eyes Too much sin to get absolution Every day in the world there's a massive shooting Teenage girls stuck in prostitution Been the victim of a war causing mass confusion How could we come together as a race If God could speak to us then what would he say Make no mistake Ain't no escape When the infinite comes and determines our fate Wait, I'm about to break I been feeling pressure man I never been a saint Can you envision the picture that I'm trying to paint Then maybe take a second and listen to what I say Damn I just gotta pray, I just gotta pray How we gonna fly if we been stuck inside a cage All that we can do is try to live another day Come together as a group and find a way to make a change Everybody working hard just trying to make a wage up on pay day In the same game, calling may day (May day) Ain't nobody tell me they would treat me like a villain As soon as I started building my music and all the fame came I don't do this to be hot shit I don't make raps for the profits I'm making music for all of the kids that been killing themselves over gossip I'm standing up for our people For every religion that's peaceful Whether Islamic, a Buddhist, a Jewish or if you pray inside a cathedral I believe we can all make a difference I believe we can fight off this evil But the only way we'll survive Is if we start treating each other as equals
