[Verse]

You and I, we're just different colors

Different people, got different mothers

Dodging bullets, yeah, they missed another

No one's safe, better run for cover

To love yourself gotta love another

You can't get lighting without the thunder

The one you shot probably got a brother

They all say truth has been on the surface

I think they're scared to show us what's under

And if we knew, would it all be worth it?

Can't do much when we're just a number

You or me could be pointing the muzzle of a gun far away at a distant cousin

And we won't know cause they told us nothing

Ain't thinking 'bout lives while they pressin' buttons

I ain't above 'em, but truthfully, I ain't on either side, neither

What's with the leaking of emails then right around expect us to believe her

Dividing the people by building a wall as we all stand aside in the bleachers

I guess I grew up with a different belief of what I would define as a leader

Killing each other is killing our kind

Live in a prison that's greater than time

Hatred and greed are consuming our minds

Are we at fault for not reading the signs?

Turning a shoulder while little kids die

You be the judge if the morals apply

At the rate we are going we will not survive

Are you prepared to look death in the eyes?

Too much sin to get absolution, every day in the world there's a massive shooting

Teenage girls stuck in prostitution, been the victim of a war causing mass confusion

How do we come together as a race?

If God could speak to us then what would he say?

Make no mistake, ain't no escape when the infinite comes and determines our fate

Wait, I'm about to break, I been feeling pressure man, I never been a saint

Can you envision the picture that I'm trying to paint

Then maybe take a second and listen to what I say

Damn, I just gotta pray, I just gotta pray

How we gonna fly if we been stuck inside a cage?

All that we can do is try to live another day

Come together as a group and find a way to make change

Everybody working hard just trying to make a wage up on payday, In the same game, calling mayday

Ain't nobody tell me they would treat me like a villain as soon as I started building my music and all my fame came

I don't do this to be hot shit, I don't make raps for the profits

I'm making music for all of the kids that been killing themselves over gossip

I'm standing up for our people

For every religion that peaceful

Whether Islamic, or Buddhist, or Jewish

Or you pray inside a cathedral

I believe we can all make a difference

I believe we can fight off this evil

But the only way we'll survive is if we start treating each other as equals
