AWAR - E-Coli lyrics

[Verse 1: Awar] Now is it a contradiction to say I want peace When I shout "War!" in damn near every song? Look, or should I pound my biscuit and pop Pete? Cuz the times we livin' in require heavy arms Protect my fam or get shot like dogs in the street Cryin' from the tear gas they set on your lawn My people get stopped and frisked like talk is cheap Steadily dropped by police using deadly harm And politicians that treatin' people like savages ****** ***** rappers leanin' 'em activists Contaminated water leaking from the taps and **** Still dripping while the rationale is to ration it Acid rain on my face, I'm living an acid trip Pullin' accurate, bullets hit abdomens No wool over their eyes, it's a civil entrapment Dreams shatter in the same place the fragments hit Reborn like Lazarus, them boys given half a f*** about hara**ing us And poison in the aqueducts Now I'm looking at the gla**, it's half a cup Crabs in the bucket, pointing automatics at us No flags fly half-mast for bodies on the pavement In our backyard and they don't got a statement Revolution won't be televised 'til we go live It's like something's in the water-- e. coli [Verse 2: Theory Hazit] I'm standing outside watching my city burn Cuz we fight fire with fire, when will we ever learn? My brother's stretched out on the pavement lifeless For hours he's just laying there-- lifeless I want revenge when the situation's like this I wish that I saw that this was coming--psychic Another disaster added to the chapter of our community This creates more division for us--you and me Mr. President, where you at? How come you ain't sayin' nothing? This your people, we your people, ayo we out here suffering I'm afraid for my neighborhood, it's like God is absent A lot has happened, again they shot a black man Justified the one arm, so it's hard to keep calm With hearts broken and torn, I hope the sun shines through the storm We thirst for justice and equality, but it's bone dry Cuz something's in the water-- e. coli [Outro] I'm tryna see just where you are I close my eyes and there you are Sometimes I only see what I wanna see Sometimes I only see what I wanna see I don't wanna look down if you're not there
