[Intro: MSNBC NEWS]

Jones

The liquor store across the road from the police station

You can now see smoke blowing out of the police station

Miguel let's see if we can get on that angle

Looks like the police station

Is now having- has caught fire

[Verse 1]

Dream followers, we follow the light

Blinding our eyes till walking in a straight line is harder than making rhymes

But these systematic lies fly around like dragonflies hoping to get happiness from killing their own kind

I’m 20/20 but I’m 403 and the density is more than what you see tell me what do you beliеve

Only thing that matters now is my skin color

But I nevеr rebuttal that’s how I get fired

In the dome I never cause trouble

[Verse 2]

Lemme get this out the way You’re feeling safe

Can you leave your place without

Getting erased

I just pray

I don't even discriminate

But when someone calls me rona one more time I'm gonna shoot the place

Now I'm on a house arrest

Cause I defended my mother who's teaching the culture but they don't want to see that

But they'll throw it a burger

Only thing you gain is weight so stop calling my friends n-word and stop stuffing your face

[Chorus]

Lord help me

I have my wrongs

I wanna go home

And I'm so tired

But I know I'm not alone

[Verse 3]

Watchu know bout family?

Watchu know bout brotherhood?

Whatchu know bout being there for someone when nothing was good?

Whatchu know bout sacrificing your life for what you believe in?

Watchu think these people feel when you say they're not important?

False allegations

And murdering of the children

I think it's bout time

You think for just a minute

Picture your little brother or sister for that matter

Getting beat and broken only just for fun or for the laughter

[Verse 4]

I don't wanna go in details

Only reason we could fail

Is how we’re how living here and now

But you don't see it

Cuz you think for yourself

And your part of the problem

I'm not finished

Cause a scene in the middle of the store

But when I need help the most people hit record

And I'm speaking for everybody not just myself

When I say we need you all we need is your help

[Chorus]

Lord help me

I have my wrongs

I wanna go home

And I'm so tired

But I know I'm not alone

[Interlude: Martin Luther King Jr]

“Freedom and justice I have a dream

My four little children will one day live in a nation

Where they will not be judged by the color of their skin

But by the content of their character

I have a dream!”

[Verse 5]

Whats discrimination?

Marginalization?

What is segregation?

My biggest fear is replacement

But what happened in the past and even now

Cannot be accepted

And you post like you respect it

I don't get it

Whats a black screen doing for George Floyd

All respect rest in peace but I'm tryna make the noise that he couldn't make

Funny how its getting worse

Day by day

But I promise once we stop making it about everything

It would stay away

[Verse 6]

What's the deal with everybody posting it for bout a week

Then they silence up like they don't know what happens in the streets

Man I don't even repost it cuz I know it don't do anything

Would you have my back at the end of the day

And that's really all I think about nowadays

Stop making our life's a trend We gotta work this out today

We can see the light of day

And not think about the shade

[Chorus]

Lord help me

I have my wrongs

I wanna go home

And I'm so tired

But I know I'm not alone

Lord help me

I have my wrongs

I wanna go home

And i'm so tired

But I know I'm not alone
