[Chorus]
I act more than I think
I think more than I act
I notice violence around me
I just wish it would pa**
Living life full of fear
From the constant cruelty
Holding on to my sanity
Life is losing it's beauty
Is this what it's become?
Take out the minority one by one?
Or is there more to the story
To the matters you took which you felt were deserving?
Will you ever accept us?
Or will you keep your distrust?
A nation falling apart
These are my intrapersonal thoughts
[Verse 1]
Speaking from inside of me
Life through my eyes is a hard truth to believe
One of many awaiting for change
One of many yet not doing anything
In my room writing lyrics
Fantasizing on one day making it
But if I don't succeed
I could still be heard on the underground scene
L.O.A.L. is grinding to make an impact
Those of you who think otherwise could simply go get back
To that musical non-sense you try to believe is rap
While we're doing whatever we have to be where it's at
In a better surrounding, living more well-off
Still advancing while others came around then fell-off
Expressing what we have to say through the sounds of our art
To stand out, but to the point I'm here to get across
I fear life as an African American
I fear being criticized for the way I am
I'm not a gangster, a k**er, or a thug
I'm just another brother who dreams to be heard
Not just as a rapper, but also as a citizen
Of this great nation I have the honor of living in
But, I suppose us and others will never be accepted
Because of our racial status making us different
[Chorus]
I act more than I think
I think more than I act
I notice violence around me
I just wish it would pa**
Living life full of fear
From the constant cruelty
Holding on to my sanity
Life is losing it's beauty
Is this what it's become?
Take out the minority one by one?
Or is there more to the story
To the matters you took which you felt were deserving?
Will you ever accept us?
Or will you keep your distrust?
A nation falling apart
These are my intrapersonal thoughts
[Verse 2]
Speaking from within myself
I don't know if I could even ask for help
From all the injustice everywhere lately
I'm feeling like as if we're all separating
And breaking off instead of being united
We could make it seem like nothing, but that won't hide it
That will keep everything that's been happening
Still happening, and that's saddening
All lives matter regardless of who you are
We're diverse, but that shouldn't keep us apart
We have our own special talents and abilities
Which go as far as influencing our future dreams
And what we want to be, our personalities
Well, maybe not exactly that, but you see what I mean
We're not like you, but that's because we were made differently
And being different is not always a bad thing
Some of us cause trouble, but that's not all of us
Some act and speak a certain way, but hey guess what?
No two individuals are exactly similar
"Love others as you love yourself" does that sound familiar?
If it doesn't, then I question if you have a heart
And if you say you do then most likely it's very dark
What I would recommend is finding some positive writings
And reading them to see what I've been implying
[Chorus]
I act more than I think
I think more than I act
I notice violence around me
I just wish it would pa**
Living life full of fear
From the constant cruelty
Holding on to my sanity
Life is losing it's beauty
Is this what it's become?
Take out the minority one by one?
Or is there more to the story
To the matters you took which you felt were deserving?
Will you ever accept us?
Or will you keep your distrust?
A nation falling apart
These are my intrapersonal thoughts
