trying to figure out if there's a superman in the sky 

if there was, then how could the devil walk onto holy ground 

and shoot all his angels down 

don’t think too hard 

you just might find the truth 

strangers in a strange land

we don’t belong

and it's getting even stranger when being a decent human doesn’t exist

reverting back to the past because kids don’t want to learn their history

and adults are saying forget it 

it’s been too long

but time is universal

a made up theory

it doesn’t exist

something meant to bring order to a world of chaos

don’t forget

it's juneteenth yet our history is barely acknowledged

 

 

race riots race wars 

what the heck is going on 

 

 

they call this rap but all they're doing is "fucking bitches getting money"

and then they think I’m supposed to want to fuck them because they called me a bad bitch and threw a dollar in my face

get away

with that negativity

and then they want to blame the crazies for the problems we’re facing

and yea it’s them

but a real man can admit when he’s wrong

and change is a long way coming

running these streets isn’t going to get you anywhere except a cold bed

we have to find more strong willing men and women to lead this one

education, honesty, loyalty the keys to our destiny

but they’re outhinking, outsmarting us

and we’re blind to the truth except for a given few

and those ones are scared 

using anger as just another shield 

but acting out in violence can get a nigger killed

keeping us from the top and we’re falling for it

promises of fame and money if you trade your soul

respectable reputation gone with the old

and man i swear i feel old

when i think of the words my parents shared with me and i finally see

 

 

race riots race wars

what the heck is going on

 

 

being on fleek shouldn’t be a thing if you can’t get your brain to think

think past the superficial

yea, looking real pretty in that casket

real cute walking down that run down neighborhood

clothes too tight, weave too long

baby been cryin' for too long

because you don’t have food anymore

and it’s a vicious cycle

rather hire megan over ajah, matt over dante

our faces brings fear to their world

but theirs is worse to me because it’s the devil dressed as a sheep 

dressed all pretty and ready to eat

and so we’re pushed back, forced back to the streets

education is still the key 

but we’re not building each other up 

we’re still tearing down 

so we can’t afford to get our young ones out, our future out 

and so they pop another baby out to grow up weak 

and living the life of “black privilege” and that’s what it means to be a minority 

not working up, stuck on the same plane and we’re going down 

black on black crime and they’re finishing the job, becoming open with their hate 

it doesn’t matter 

we have one in office but he’s in-between them and us, but his status pushes him up and so he’s not worried about us 

no I take that back

one man can’t make a change

it takes a community to back him up

but we need one in power to get our words out and make them see that yes we matter

 

 

race riots race wars 

what the heck is going on

 

 

ready for the day i don’t have to live in fear

knowing karma found her target and everything is going to be okay

waiting for the day i don’t have to say another word about race riots race wars because racism is no more
