Byron Henderson - Piece By Piece (A Little Chaos) lyrics

[Intro: Byron] I always thought when I got older, things would get better. Like in the grand scheme of things, we'd actually be living to help each other. Instead of being so divided, we'd be united, shows how stupid I was, huh? {Laughs} [Verse: Byron] I'm fortunate to be living, unlike most Driven to be a positive influence, while viewing the world in ruins I know couple of people that might boast if they were in this position And proving how life is being taken for granted Become sycophantic with the microphone, but I need a minute to celebrate life though Never been more content, so don't ask about my depression I saw your mascara drip as I rapped about my success with the love of my life k**ing demons with rapid succession If happiness is a drug, I'm addicted, that's my confession Don't worry, I come in peace You want peace of mind or suppression? Aggressive cause I am beast, might OD despite my regression Treating time like its irrelevant, dawg It's evident that I'm in awe of how mentally broken and spiritless people become Incredibly off, but wait We look around, because we don't understand a generation where no one is trying to be the bigger man in the… [Hook: Byron] x2 Land of the free, home of the snakes Prone to get bitten whether you're alone or with bae Upon reminiscing on days gone that convey: We all need to believe in something, so we fall for the fakes If you had give your soul up today Would you rather count money or count blessings? See the world fall without stressing, but lose you piece by piece A little chaos made the world go round, I'll let y'all pray [Verse: Byron] How can I run from this? I was born here, but I don't come from this I don't pledge allegiance to murder, but y'all stomach it Haven't got a reason to serve for a comeuppance I'd rather die using my words to fight corruption Try keeping up with your kids, not a Kardashian Maybe learn about each family that funds banks Or how the whole country's a murder scene And cops treat us all like its GTA, no matter the race Turn off your TV because ain't no love in hip-hop We've been easily distracted, can you see the light? Media misleading everyone, now that's division while you laugh at a 3G device Ain't trying to see the day somebody guns Aaliyah down No listen, you're either dense or correctly you weren't brought up This is for even thinking of having those thoughts thought up Do black lives matter when you plot to k** your enemy? They'll take us any day and not care about us at all in the… [Hook: Byron] [Outro: Byron] Rina, you see what's going on right now, right? {Marina laughs} Don't laugh, because see? You know- I know you know what's going on. It'll get worse, because humans are way too smart to come together. How much do you want to bet that in a few years, they'll start recording the murders and everyone still gets off? Who wants to live to see that? I'd rather die happy These people are about to become miserable as I don't know what, because they'll believe anything these politicians say, as long as it's positive. Majority of these wealthy, not rich, but wealthy people don't care about us. But they watch people like you and I because we talk too much. We supposedly run the risk of waking people up. Listen, if I ever k** myself or if someone k**s me. Be happy for me, because I'm safe. It may be kind of sad, and that's okay, but be happy that I made it out not only happy with my life, but happy with myself, and who I became. Because that's something no one can take away from me
