Royce David - Truce lyrics

[Hook x2] I Need a bit of love Need a little trust Need some love Lotta love right now There's been pain from the start Lotta pain in my heart Need to change but I don't know how [Verse 1] R.I.P. to Nathan sadly he was taken by an officer Who got the word that something had been taken By a darker male the only way that they depict him Came up to Nate to accusate cuz he fit a description "No, no sir, I got my receipt right here" Reached in his pocket, "That's a gun!" Cops let six shots flare Down goes Nate, wrong place at the wrong time Whole thing caught on tape but the cop never did time R.I.P. Officer Mason it's so sad that he was taken His family loved him known to do his job amazing 'til a n***a who was fed up grabbed his nine and was waiting To shoot at the first sign of a badge and a man who was caucasian Damn when did we get like this Seems like everyday we a few more names to the list The innocent don't stay alive The children are desensitized To be honest I'm scared that I'm the next one that they'll hit [Hook x2] I need a bit of love Need a little trust Need some love Lotta love right now There's been pain from the start Lotta pain in my heart Need to change but I don't know how It seems like every little difference is a dividend Whether the person that they love, who they praise is innocent [Verse 2] It seems like every little difference is a dividend Whether the person that they love, who they praise or their skin I know I'm different, but they say that we're all one in the same But why difference come with all of this pain Tired of all of this pain Time to put this to rest If we're all one in the same I think it's time to accept That we're always talking about the future is here Naw man, man the future is here How the Hell are we still living in fear Like we fear them cuz they fear us We'll hate them and they'll hurt us And we'll hurt us and we'll hurt them And the fear, the hate, the hurt starts all over again [Hook 2x] Here's a bit of love Here's a little trust Here's some love Lotta love right now Can't take the pain in my heart Need some change in my heart 'Cause we need change and it starts right now [Verse 3] 'Cause if there's hate, there's no way that we'll grow And hate is just the fear of what we don't know If we get to know each other as brothers, see what we've missed Then I'll be empathetic simply for the fact that exist Or give love Empathy because you exist Regardless of what the circumstance is I'll give love No more living in fear I'm giving love for as long as I'm here Cause if there's hate There's no way that we'll grow And hate is just the fear of what we don't know If we get to know each other as brothers, see what we've missed Then I'll be empathetic simply for the fact that exist I'll give love Empathy because you exist Regardless of what the circumstance is I'll give love I'm done living in fear I'm giving love for as long as I'm here And I say [Hook x4] Give a bit of love Give a little trust Give some love Gotta love right now No more pain in my heart We're the same in my heart Start the chain of the change right now
