Verse 1

Always wakin’ up with a look on my face

Another blank day in life, turnin’ the page

I can never erase, anything that I say

So I try to move forward pullin’ my weight

All I feel is silence pullin’ me down

Screamin’ for help, no one hears the sound

I try to make sense of the love that I’ve found

Pushin’ my Soul further deep underground

I’m reachin’ out, stretchin for a hand

Touch the wrong one, and you’ll drown in quicksand

I will never understand, the ways that we plan

Sacrificing others just so we can get ahead

While some of us run, too scared to hold a gun

Watch the self-righteous suicide of a loved one

I’m hearin’ now, the sound of a pop

The façade disappears when the cameras drop

Dependin on others, just to carry a show

You’re a lost soul, searchin for your pot of gold

If you run to fast you’ll fall off the rainbow

Grab a hold of your life and take it real slow

Cause if it was up to me, it would all be love

Turn from the path of cash, lies and blood

And catch ya breath, give up the rest

Enlighten your mind until nothings left

I breathe my life into the ink of my pen

And when the ink is gone, I use the blood of my hand

The words from my tongue are like a rose in the sand

Caught in the wind to make me a free man

Because nothings free and as you will see

I have the mind of a martyr and as hard as you try

You could never silence me

Verse 2

Death and destruction, the push of a button

Sing a lullaby to ya kids while they crush ya

Feel the genocide and oh, did I mention?

To take a man’s life is an art of perfection

No more affection, no room for the weak

Except to mark days bombs drop on ya street

No water to drink and no food to eat

And a war at home to get drugs off the beat

Some corrupt police, where do we go?

Crimes still committed, while the prisons overflow

So what do we know? Is it all just a show?

We hate against our brothers and they keep us on our toes

I’m so fed up, I’ve had enough

A misogynist system got our women on the cusp

Keepin’ em’ all from makin’ a buck

Unless they slidin’ down a pole to make rent in a month

It’s dangerous this game we play

Waitin’ for the climax to put us in our place

While we fall into our grave or

Try to stay alive just to make it out the maze

Hopin’ to hear the voice of a loved one

To raise better days from the lonelier ones

Making a life from the holes that we dug

We owe it to our women just to show them real love

No disrespect, misrepresent, we have the tools to reconnect

Balance and check our own complex

Try to minimize your discontent

If you’re lashin’ out you’ll have no Love left

To prove to all what you can do

Don’t let them play you for a fool

We all fall down, but the love is in you.
