Why don't you say what's real, say what's real Say something Why don't you say what's real, say what's real Say something Uh, look I didn’t grow up in a neighborhood that’s plagued by violence But I was taught that if you see a problem don’t leave silence And yeah I thought that maybe I could speak my mind a bit Cause if the issues in a race well this the finalist I grew up watching things on TV that’s like Sandy Hook They show a father on the screen and they’re like man he’s shook Well I can’t deal and I been having problems sleeping It seems like it’s every day we turn the channel and they’re weeping What’s the world need a gun for? You wanna shoot somebody or shoot something you better not And now those kids won’t see the sun more (they won't) Cause you been hunting on the weekends and that life is what they never got (no!) So just like Sarah Palin thinks she's got the answers I would beg to differ You say it’s safety but you don’t deliver Go look at numbers or look in the mirror It’s people dying and you indirectly are the k**ers Why don't you say what's real, say what's real Say something Why don't you say what's real, say what's real Say something Why don't you say what's real, say what's real Say something Why don't you say what's real, say what's real Say something Yo, check it I got a problem with the way we act like it’s all nothing I got a problem with the way we let this turn to something (I do)
I got a problem with Orlando, and Aurora, and Columbine We losing this battle and we ain’t even running Look I don’t care if you think that it brings defense (no) That clearly ain’t the truth cause when they shoot we jump the fence hold up How can you sit there without ever tryna make amends, hold up! How can you sit there and convince yourself that all this ends? I look around and I can tell that this is not a choice Because the headlines on the news are not making the noise This can’t continue 'cause these kids getting shot with their toys What should the mother say to her little boys? When all of them just lost a brother from a ma**ive attack When people shooting in the workplace and they hide in the stacks When Fox is blaming this on race but we know that talk is wack I feel like now’s the time for action and there’s no turning back Why don't you say what's real, say what's real Say something Why don't you say what's real, say what's real Say something Why don't you say what's real, say what's real Say something Why don't you say what's real, say what's real Say something Oh, yeah I got a solution And from everything I’m seeing we could use a revolution Yeah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah These guns they k** 60,000 every year So I think we need to make guns disappear Oh I think we need to make guns disappear
