[Intro]
Tony: Say B
Byron: Yes?
Tony: Y'all two together?
Byron: No, just best friends
Tony: Damn, it's hard to tell, bruh
Byron: {laughs} So how is your mom doing?
Tony: I'm saving up to get her into rehab. She's getting better though
Byron: That's great, man! I'm really proud of you, Tony
Tony: Sheesh, for real?
Byron: Yeah, man of course!
[Verse: Byron]
Hope is something to hold on to
Cause even when dreaming of peace, demons will still haunt you
Imagine how people feel when some say they put their faith in a religion based on a murderous race's beliefs, pray
Cause growing up a lot of people never saw light
Yet they show us on the news and wonder why we've lost sight
Prime example of the money can't save you
Bill O'Reilly ain't a factor, smart people just hate you
They always show us negative images that are irking you
While keeping good deeds concealed, it's all purposeful
We all have a lot of work to do
But starting race wars for profit, now that's personal
They disguise it as terms like big business
Cops can't do their jobs, but skip prison
Monopolized this whole country, and it's written in blood
They're playing ventriloquist and the kids listen, so
[Hook: Byron]
No way
Feel no way cause d**h to society will heal your hate
d**h to society will k** your hate
d**h to society will seal your fate x2
[Verse: Byron]
I think its history repeated
If we don't come together, we'll be easily defeated
Show a mug shot of a man that a cop murdered in case there's a bit of sympathy
Basically what they mean, is he deserved it
Look at how the media portrays us
People end up with bullet holes and find a way to blame us
Racism will live till we die, cause we breathe in sin
Never had to watch CNN for me to see an end, so…
Listen, you guessed it, but you were dead wrong
You'll lose your life over this ish, but let me speak on Brock
Six months, dude got 6 months for raping a woman behind a dumpster
And his punk of a father basically thought twenty minutes wasn't enough
The judge sympathized like y'all do with these cops, and it's sickening
Bodies hit the ground with a thud
If he's such a good swimmer, then let him swim in his blood, straight up
Stacy Dash is a waste of life, FOX put her on to separate us, never thinking twice
Tomi hides behind a nice camera armed with her propaganda
Throw your pride away; unite with the people that understand us
Cops stay quiet, we die and they try diverting attention, the epidemic systemic
It isn't far fetched
But some stand behind cops so much, even with evidence it's still our fault
What do you call that?
[Hook: Byron]
[Outro]
Tony: Son, I really think y'all can make it out of here. Like, for real dog. But let me ask y'all something; is it bad that I'm counting on y'all?
Byron: I'm not sure. I'll ask Marina when she comes out of the store, because I'm sure we were counting on you to make it out of your situation too
Tony: I appreciate that, yo. A lot. More than you know. But this music is like crazy, bruh
Byron: {Laughs} Thanks man
Tony: But enough of that son. Can I tell you something?
Byron: Sure. What's up?
Tony: I know you probably heard this..
Byron: Go on
Tony: I need to tell you this. Y'all need to protect each other, bruh. I feel like a lot of bad is bout to happen, son. For real, if something ever happens to either one of y'all, then the other one has to make it. And you can't stop until you make it, son. The world needs to hear this, dawg. This could change lives...
