Civil Justus - Changin' Season lyrics

It's like they k** us or we k** ourselves It's on us You make change You make that sh** happen See how women get branded From the day that they landed Had no kind of a value Cuz the life that they're handed Leave them taken for granted Don't show respect for them hoes Even though can't stand it, you putting up with them roles She keep screamin it low, and she screamin it loud You keep diggin' it out, n***a you feelin' so proud Yeah f** it, you fiendin' so get all in between Guess those second and third thoughts do not mean a thing So it's back to the branding, cuz he s**in' it raw And then you gettin' her pregnant and then you skatin' it off So the kid ain't your problem, no conversation at all Said that you'd be there for shorty, but you was fakin it all Now he left with no poppa and the struggle insane Cuz he got all them uncles but none of them will remain Now he's raised with the issues, those of which I refrain When it come to the women, n***a you quick with blame We can't keep hoping for seasons to change, it's on us So we deep in a cycle that could lead with a rifle Never sisters and brothers, we see each other as rivals So the system will get us, and the cops try to k** us We just do it ourselves, leave the funerals filled it When it comes to the girls, they could look like our moms And you pay it no mind, and still you treat her like swine And you give her that line, screaming MOB Another fatherless poverty-stricken him or she And that's the way that it is, when the sh** doesn't change From a season to season, yeah it's just not a game From the days of a slave, when you was forced into chains Watching your family slain, watching the antic in brain This is the life that became, from slicing the caine To sycing the caine, cooking it up with the flame See it's all systematic, how we internalize We oppressing ourselves, creating truth with the lies [Outro] As our issues continue to manifest And season change, but we still the same Don't get it twisted We like to think we're in post-racial era How come we not all eating than? How come you still in the projects? How come there's still d** in your family? How come they k**ing us left and right? How come our family in prison locked up? How come we still shttin' on each other? If there ain't no problems? If we all could make it?
