Lyrics

Yeah
This right here is for the soul
This right here is for the soul
For the young or old
To the cold or bold
No matter
This right here is for the soul
Life is like a maze, just trying to find the finish line
Try to remain fine, even through bad times
Fearing for the future knowing this world is unforgiving
With the way we're living, the days are slowly ending
Minds lost in the dark with no light of survival
Instead of hands on the Bible, we see kids holding riffles
Times are getting serious and furious
We state the same problems to congress and their not even curious
It's like we're going back in time
Where it was hard to find a peaceful state of mind
Your telling me to chill, but I wanna fulfill
Teach the kids you ain't gotta pop a pill to dream uphill
But still, who's gonna understand my truth
The pain and prosperity within my roots
I may be a suburban boy, but I got a hood mentality
Try to make it out, buy my mom a house to live in royalty
It's just a mind state of reality
Cause they don't want to see a black man make it out of misery
Rather see me as history, shot down, another mystery
I will never fall for your tyranny
This war is an infinity
Not even Captain or Stark can save me
These words are from the soul that are painted in red
From the flag representing where my ancestors bled
Microphone check, the world needs to hear this
Pass this message on to your friends, fam and siblings
Wake up, listen up as I preach this
I hope you comprehend my thesis
Lord knows it's freedom I seek
I hope you don't bash away with the message I speak
Let my heart bleed out to the current proverbs
At the end of the day, I'm just trying to be heard
Put down the weapons, I'm getting sick of the rampage
Why are kids getting shot and stabbed to death at a young age
It brings rage with tears and hard to see
For a mother, brother and sister to say
R.I.P
Sick of seeing my people suffer and fearing for their lives
Getting high just to survive always wondering why
Does it have to be like this, why do we kill our own?
They keep the system above us and treat the hood like a military zone
We can't even answer a phone
Police think it's a gun, target between the chrome
Just trying to get home, unarmed, didn't mean no harm
Another brother gone, another family broken, ring the alarm
With this microphone in my palm, to help find a way
To reach the kids a better life and pray for better days
But no matter what that causes, they see us as thugs regardless
They rather kill us all and treat us like garbage
I paint these pictures vivid exposing the darkness
Instead of being blessed, we rather be rich and heartless
Stubborn made monsters chasing money and clout
No wonder recognition is the cousin of doubt
Microphone check, the world needs to hear this
Pass this message on to your friends, fam and siblings
Wake up, listen up as I preach this
I hope you comprehend my thesis
Lord knows it's freedom I seek
I hope you don't bash away with the message I speak
Let my heart bleed out to the current proverbs
At the end of the day, I'm just trying to be heard
Why are you stressing yourself out
Why are you stressing yourself out
It ain't no need for that
Why are you stressing yourself out
Why are you stressing yourself out
It ain't no need for that
Something tells me that this world is cursed
Are we living for worse
Is this hell on earth
Imagine a world if racist can feel my pain
Imagine a world if my people were never shackled in chains
Imagine a world where white kids didn't go insane
Shoot a brother in the brain because of the color he contains
What if kids didn't have to cut their wrist to numb the pain
Or tie a noose around the neck because they felt ashamed
With the way they're living, thinking life is unfulfilling
Tripping on some xan's from a friend that is now in prison
Just a scenario, but it's reality though
How many times we gotta say "life ain't a reality show"
You got kids and adults struggling with a loss or an addiction
Instead of asking what's wrong, you rather see what's trending
Death over nothing, just another assumption
Of America's views of who deserves reproductions
This is for Emmet, to Trayvon and my cousin Lil Rich
As I take a knee, plead the fifth, ball up and raise my fist
What's it gonna take for us to truly make a difference
How many innocent blacks do we need to see in prison?
How many protests do we need for you to really listen?
Why do you silence us thinking that we have bad intentions?
Politicking my only vision of building equality
You rather ignore the message and focus on the currency
It's hurting me inside, but I shouldn't be surprise
How this country always protects its special allies
Will we ever see changes?
Will my people stay safe instead of living so dangerous?
I just wanna see peace and the silenced released
From the chains you have endured from the tears of the weak
When I'm dead and gone I pray we make progress
May not be 100, but something is better than less
No matter what they say or try to cause disaster
I know that deep in my heart that black lives matter
