[Verse 1: Rowlan]
Hey, hey
One day
Hey maybe one day
We can all hold hands
And together fly away
It's just it's hard when we see the other side
And jealously breeds and brings urges to wanna ride
Or wanna rob and take everything they got
They trying to stay rich we trying not to get shot
We trying to eat, we trying to keep a roof
While they worry about insurance on that brand new coupe, what
It's love it's hate but we came so far
White man buy a stock, black man buy a car
Then add some rims, white man buy a suite
But if a black man do he just trying to be a white man too
But that's society white man lacks sobriety
Cause he tried a drug, like that black drug dealer lied to me
And snitch em out and it don't get no faker
Cause they put him in a cell and make the rapist his new neighbor, huh?
[Hook: Rex Mac]
I think it's rather funny how the game go
Cause brother I don't know if I can let this pain go
You either put your middle fingers up or you can lay low
Or you can stay cold
But I'd rather stay grateful
And take it day by day, one day at a time
Take it day by day, one day at a time
[Verse 2: Rowlan]
You know that black man that you kind of put in jail
Who got a year because your back pains were hell
And then you asked him if he could help you out
Well he kind of got stabbed and he's living with God now
He died in prison like a damn statistic
Three whites k**ed him not a single guard missed it
But now that rapist that is free next door
Watching your kids play while your back gets soar
Then later on when your daughters growing up
Eleven years old saying dad I'm old enough
To have s** it's whatever, I already have anyway
When you was working that neighbor touched me like everyday
It messed me up but it showed me even more
About the vicious cycle of this racist a** world
So now I live by the words it's not your color
Cause while you trying not to a million people suffered
[Hook: Rex Mac]
I think it's rather funny how the game go
Cause brother I don't know if I can let this pain go
You either put your middle fingers up or you can lay low
Or you can stay cold
But I'd rather stay grateful
And take it day by day, one day at a time
Take it day by day, one day at a time
Verse 3
Racism still moving but are you helping
White people are rich and black man is still the felon
When will stereo types, of blacks, latins, and whites, unite
So Martin Luther King can sleep throughout the night
If ever but how can u expect a change
If half our days, are stuck in ways
Cause our are brains remain the same
And goals are hard to reach
But how far can you make it if you afraid to teach
The next generation right from wrong
Saying blacks can't succeed and whites can't rap a song
Well I'll pa** all your judgmental thoughts
And pray to the Lord that your ignorance is lost
And sense is found somewhere inside of your mind
Where the n-word is used or you still hate on my kind
It's up to us, let's change this f*cking place
They tell us live fast, so let's change the f*cking pace, hey!
[Hook: Rex Mac]
I think it's rather funny how the game go
Cause brother I don't know if I can let this pain go
You either put your middle fingers up or you can lay low
Or you can stay cold
But I'd rather stay grateful
And take it day by day, one day at a time
Take it day by day, one day at a time
