GETTING TO A POINT IN MY LIFE NOW
WHERE THERE'S NOTHING I FEAR
EXCEPT BRINGING CHILDREN INTO THIS WORLD
FULL OF SO MANY TEARS
FULL OF SO MUCH JEALOUSY AND HATE
TO THE POINT WHERE YOU CAN'T WALK TO A CORNER STORE WITHOUT POLICE HARASSING YOU
BECAUSE YOU'RE BLACK OR LATINO
YET US, THEY DON'T KNOW
IT'S THE IMAGE THEY PORTRAY US LIKE
AND THEY WONDER WHY SO MANY BLACK KIDS
SCREW UP THEIR LIVES
WHITE SUPREMACY THEY SCREAM
THE KKK
BUT LION POWER I SHOUT
I STILL STAND STRONG TODAY
AS A LITTLE BOY THEY TAUGHT US
PETER PAYS FOR PAUL
GAVE US THE IDEA THAT DOING RIGHT WAS WRONG
THEY INSTILLED IN OUR BRAIN
THE QUALITIES OF A SLAVE
YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE
I AIN'T CALLING NO NAMES
MY MIND TELLS ME STILL
DON'T HATE EM
BUT I'M BREAKING FREE OF THIS MIND TRAP
FIGHT WITH ME MY BROTHER, FIGHT BACK
ITS ALL I ASK
MY MISSION ISN'T ONE OF HATE AND RACISM
JUST ONE OF TRUTH
JUST WANNA UPLIFT THE FALLEN TO BECOME THE RISEN
AND AS LONG AS BLOOD FLOWS
THROUGH MY VEINS
I'LL CONTINUE TO DO WHAT I DO
I'LL NEVER SHOW HATE TO
SOMEONE OF DIFFERENT COLOUR
CUT MY SKIN
THEN CUT YOURS
THE SAME RED BLOOD FLOWS OUT
AS A MATTER OF FACT
IT POURS
LOVE AND RESPECT
PEACE
