Victor Cornelius - Tranquility lyrics

[Verse 1] I went to see my pops just the other day He's sitting in the county, prepping for his court date I took a seat on that metal and conversate on the phone Then he blasted a statement that nearly sent me home He said "Son I don't think the music thing for you You got a buzz but you ain't got the revenue" See I don't do it for the money I do it for my slime See why he snorting lines, he finding hope up in my lines And I do it for that girl who make a living on the stroll I'm the Jesus that they see in the valley with Jordan 4's With them long dreads and the tattoos See he'll lose stripes but He that dude When the block hot, He don't stop He keeps serving that good news And you worry rolling like a big shot I'm in a warzone and you can hear the bodies drop Yeah, that's when I left the booth Your family won't understand, that's why He chose you [Hook] (x2) Living in the era where you gotta watch your back Every time I see the news another body laying flat yeah And we dying in America (dying in America) So bring peace to the area [Verse 2] Sean Bell, Trayvon, Mike and Eric were k**ed We can take this thing further and pa** it to Emmett Till I was in downtown Miami, it was looking like the '60's Black, white and Hispanic's were protesting with hippies Oh Lord What a beautiful sight They saying black lives matter was the song of the night But I ain't pro-black nor pro-white, I'm pro-human Shout out to them good cops Keep doing what you been doing See I believe in justice but I also preach forgiveness Everybody falls short of the glory so what's the business De-activate the violence and respond with understanding Yeah they did this wrong but our anger can't outlast us So put down the bricks I see the pain in your eyes You're looking tired of this cycle and you're tired of the lies Well all cops ain't bad And all blacks ain't hood And all whites ain't racist Spread the love like you should Spread the love like you should [Hook] (x2) [Outro] Living in the era where you gotta watch your back Another body laying flat And we dying in America So bring peace to the area Gotta watch your back Another body laying flat And we dying in America So Lord bring peace to the area
