Lyrics

I was told that x marks the spot
So I followed my map for the treasure
Ran to where they placed the pot
Only to find these meaningless pleasures
That's not why I started this venture
I wanna make this life much better
It can't be completely resolved
But I got one question, don't take it light like a feather
Can we meet in the middle?
I know this world can't be peaches and cream
But at least can we turn some of these nightmares into dreams?
I was asking a lot before with all those screams
But you're telling me I can't save just one teen?
That's just blasphemous, you can give me a mansion plus
Any car I want, but if we speak up, they ransom us?
I think it's unanimous, that the rich are ravenous
I'm tryna be magnanimous but I'm surrounded by antagonists
They never wanted to see me prevail
And now that I have, they hate to see what my future entails
That's why they stopping me freeing people from open jails
I'm just so lost, do I have a chance or has the ship sailed?
Back to being confused on what's real and what isn't
Except it's outside instead of within, but that's not the only difference
This time it's even worse, because alone I cannot fix it
That's why I'm asking face to face, I'm done with all this hinting
Can we meet in the middle?
I'm aware that we can't be passive
Especially when the streets are filled with rats and ratchets
But this has gone too far, to y'all it's addictive not even a habit
They'd rather bury a brother instead of burying the hatchet
I still don't get it, do you want credit? Why turn into a savage?
Murdering rivals, you want that title? To me, you're the sadist
They called me crazy all these years for putting this in my passage
But now they see for themselves, wasn't my mind that was creating this madness
Material gains in return the world's in flames, just wait for the ashes
Then you'll want the change I'm tryna make, they only-act when something happens
But by then it's too late, there's a reason why it's emphasized in my rapping
I'm not here to make a quick buck, I'd rather have impact with my passion
We're living in a modern world war, but these days everyone got a cannon
Maybe that ship has sailed, but I got my own, and this time I'm the captain
I want global peace, but now I see, I can only imagine
Still haunted by fear and I gotta deter, so I'll keep asking
Can we meet in the middle?
Think about all the effort and progress
It took for me just to address these problems
Where can I go from here? There's no direction
When you're doing the impossible, there's no process
To follow, my sorrow, imbedded in tomorrows
Anxious about what's coming if we keep acting this hollow
We keep wasting all this time that we begged to borrow
Society would rather watch it burn and hop in Apollos
Leaving this planet instead of leaving habits
They think that it's magic, that's what makes it so tragic
Nobody needs to be a wizard to make them vanish
But this being outta my control is the cause of my panic
I worry, since we don't know that we'll be fine so surely
Concerning, how I'm the only one that wants this in a hurry
Not early, but not too late to help me with the stirring
Of the pot that I see clearly but apparently it's blurring
To y'all, nobody sees what I'm seeing, so let me make it clear one last time
Let's start with a deep breath, begin
Crimes going up like a stock, 12 year olds with a knife and a glock
Better not answer that knock, you'll be the next balloon they pop
Blinded by metals and guap, unless it's achieved they will not stop
Making it worse for the cops, and wonder why they're put at fault
If you think about it, it's the rappers they see, flexing their M16s
Telling the youth to try out lean, and hypnotize them with that green
They get it through trapping, that government won't provide their needs
They focusing on bigger things, letting the rappers do their speech
But that's why I'm tryna be the one that switches the narrative
I know that their intentions aren't this bad, they just gotta cut that arrogance
I'm guilty as well, but I don't want to pass it down to the next Americans
It's not worth the money, I'm not letting these kids inherit this
The world is already as bad as it is, we can't let it get to the jits
A society filled with freaks and fascists, why do we exist?
As I watch the clock tick, I pray that we reach that bliss
And it has to happen quick, because it's all gone to sh-
Showing how we can improve, what do we have to lose?
They know it's right to put a bandaid over our planet's bruise
Who's gonna fight to keep an uncured wound?
We needa make this violence only seen in cartoons
So let's get all of this out of their tunes
Before they take it literal and end a life too soon
Causing family trauma when you can avoid the tomb
Please just hear me out, otherwise we may be doomed
To an eternity of suffering and guilt
I've been avoiding it with everything you see me build
All I ask is for you to get off your stilts
The grass isn't greener when everything is silt
Maybe I'm just wasting precious time
Maybe it'll help if you hear me scream and cry
Maybe y'all are deaf too, I already see you're blind
One thing I know for sure, I'll never stop trying
I won't give up on y'all, you guys deserve better
