For the love of the people

the recognition that we are whole

a whole facing times out of control

Times where priests touch children

and children shoot up schools

our occupation of a nation

that engagement has no rules

Education is lacking

charter schools losing backing

and rap is under attack because it’s no longer a Black thing

Affirmative action is now racist

the media is tasteless

the war going on outside ended up in my basement

and they ain’t got a suspect the first

and what’s more worse is that they ain’t even looking in the first place

See I’ve got 2 sons, and my passion for truth comes from the ONE

not religiously but spiritually

because man touched one and made it corrupt

they made it so morals can be pushed aside when convenient

then say in God we trust

in hopes that people believe the verdict

Justice does injustice and after 25 years they say they made a mistake

DNA has proven your case

25 years later

and that smile cannot be a frown

because then you will become the hater

The hater of a system that took 25 of your years and regardless if you had shed some tears

you will be labeled ungrateful

and “angry”

See when we raise issues we are “angry”

the truth is so hard to swallow that starvation is power

we would rather not say than say

how society done become hollow

But I can’t take that road because my soul will not let me

every time I try to lighten up they tighten up

and tell that 50 shots don’t prove guilt

but let that man protect his son in his driveway

and see what kind of justice he gets

I would die for the truth if it means my kids will have a better future

but I gotta be here speaking this truth in order to guide them through this.
