[Hook/Chorus]
I tried to take the high road
Let by gones be by gones
I tried to take the high road
But now another life’s gone
What you expect from me?
To turn the other cheek
All you bring is war, asking me for peace
What you expect from me, when all you bring is greed
All you bring is war, asking me for peace
But now I gotta piece piece piece
But now I gotta piece piece piece
But now I gotta piece piece piece
But now I gotta piece piece piece
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 1 – B.o.B.]
Yeah, they say let’s make America great again
Except for the slavery and the genocide
When we k** all the native and still their tribes
And it’s time we denied women’s rights
Talking ’bout great, like the (?) I break
Like when they brought crack c**aine to the hood
Like when they brought h**n to the states
Justice is not on the internet
Equality don’t have a twitter account
The last words that a man should ever hear
Should never be “Get on the ground”
Our culture so misunderstood, it’s cloudy up over the hood
I think about packing my bags and leaving this country for good
Glock, Glock in my car for your probable ’cause
‘Cause even the law don’t follow the law
Guess it’s my fault for being black
A country built on my people’s backs
Up in first cla**, yeah my seat is black
Even when I’m bored and I’m tryna see my past
Tell me, if you had a chance, would you go back in time to see the past?
Waiting, waiting, waiting for reporation
[Hook/Chorus]
I tried to take the high road
Let by gones be by gones
I tried to take the high road
But now another life’s gone
What you expect from me?
To turn the other cheek
All you bring is war, asking me for peace
What you expect from me, when all you bring is greed
All you bring is war, asking me for peace
But now I gotta piece piece piece
But now I gotta piece piece piece
But now I gotta piece piece piece
But now I gotta piece piece piece
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 2 – Big Krit]
By any means necessary
Lately two many mommas out here bearing babies
Really ain’t safe (?)
(?)
And will we ever be at peace, man? I ain’t sure
But for now (?) altercation
Got these motherf**ers blazing and I ain’t tryna save
(?)
[Hook/Chorus]
I tried to take the high road
Let by gones be by gones
I tried to take the high road
But now another life’s gone
What you expect from me?
To turn the other cheek
All you bring is war, asking me for peace
What you expect from me, when all you bring is greed
All you bring is war, asking me for peace
But now I gotta piece piece piece
But now I gotta piece piece piece
But now I gotta piece piece piece
But now I gotta piece piece piece
Yeah, yeah
