The Question

Fightin a war within myself
Playing a role but all the chords can play themselves
Who I've become is at the core hiding in stealth
My rapport versus afford my family's health
A match made up in hell
Don't cry for me this Argentine shield reflects the true society
You wanna change the world you need to look at the proprieties
Hero or a villain or vice...
Versa's a dilemma
First they love you then they hate you all depends on your opinion
What would do when you're put in an impossible position
Where... Every single outcome's like a horror story scripted
And the black people still dying but we never catch the killer
And now you're witnessing the riots but you're standing in the middle
It's a war goin on outside you better pick a side
Cause then shots ringing off & they synchronized
And the mirrors the only place that you can't improvise
It's way too rare that a wave could ever stem the tide

The Pressure

What would you do if you had to feel the pressure?
Daytime comes its feeling like a dessert
Nighttime falls you hear distorted weapons
No phone calls
We don't talk to Tom Brady round these parts
Following codes a lost art
The corner was our RSS feed
Word travels, we scatter before the cuffs on
Be safe, make it home a mothers love song
And she play it every night like Touchtunes
They blame it on the bars not what life's reduced to
Redlining push you out the banks front doors
Dollar stores sposed to feed a family of four
And then corporations come in as landlords
And then they raise up the rent that we couldn't afford
Gentrifried chicken & a couple of stores/
We all seen the same thing happen before
And thats an image you can draw...../What you call sketchy we call home/How we under served when they dropping off glocks?
We served just fine when you understand the plot boy
What would you do if you had to feel the pressure?
Daytime comes its feeling like a dessert
Nighttime falls you hear distorted weapons
No phone calls
Tell me who's gonna save me now
When those bodies hit the ground and I'm all alone
All alone
Tell me who's gonna save me now
When those bullets hit the ground and I'm all alone
We never talk about duality
The fallacy is hiding in plain site
We Talkin like the issue isn't safety on both sides
A couple bad apples that's been hanging off the vine
Is summing up the force like a Star Wars line
Now progress is standing face to face with a protocol
People looking at you like they did Rach Dolezal
And where we from you can never get involved
Or look at the equation like a problem you can solve
So you take a route for all the ones who ain't make it out
And then they label you a villain cause you care about your hometown
The love song is still the same
But outside of that ain't a damn thing changed
Tell me who's gonna save me now
When those bodies hit the ground and I'm all alone
All alone
Tell me who's gonna save me now
When those bullets hit the ground and I'm all alone

The Answer
01:21
|

These are the sounds of a path to a clear mind
High speed processing in real time
You criticize from the sidelines
I'm in a three point stance on the gridiron
Ready to crash out
My empathy might of maxed out
It's two sides to the coin & I'm walkin on the edge
Couldn't call it in the air
Hit or miss it ain't fair
Strapped up for the war against self
Packed up remorse ships well
Boxed into a corner
I can't fold like an octahedron
As long as I'm breathing I'm here to connect to what's possible
It might not make sense to a lot of you
But we all play a part like a locker room
And the chaos is comfortable
The brochures that you get where we from program the outcomes that you seeing in the slums
12x12 or it's death by 12
Another mothers child waiting trial on bail
Fentanyl messin wit ya pops mental health
Community in strife & you really wanna help
Military dreams
They recruit at 16
All the while never sayin what a badge really mean
But you here now, gotta commit to the stanza
And one day maybe y'all will have the answer
