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

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

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
