You and I
We're just different colors
Different people got different mothers
Dodging bullets yeah they missed another

No one's safe better run for cover
To love yourself gotta love another
You can't get lightning without the thunder
The one you shots probably got a brother

They all say truth has been on the surface
Think they're scared to show us what's under
If we knew would it all be worth it
Can't do too much when we're just a number

You or me could be pointing the muzzle of a gun far away at a distant cousin
We won't know cause they told us nothing
Ain't thinking bout lives while they pressing buttons

I ain't above em but truthfully I ain't on either side neither
And what's with the leaking of emails then turn right around expect us to believe her

Dividing the people by building a wall as we all stand aside in the bleachers
I guess I grew up with a different belief in what I would define as a leader

Killing each other is killing our kind
Live in a prison that's greater than time
Hatred and greed are consuming our minds
Are we at fault for not reading these signs

Turning a shoulder while little kids die
You be the judge if the morals apply
At the rate we are going we will not survive
Are you prepared to look death in the eyes

Too much sin to get absolution
Every day in the world there's a massive shooting
Teenage girls stuck in prostitution
Been the victim of a war causing mass confusion

How could we come together as a race
If God could speak to us then what would he say

Make no mistake
Ain't no escape
When the infinite comes and determines our fate

Wait, I'm about to break
I been feeling pressure man I never been a saint
Can you envision the picture that I'm trying to paint
Then maybe take a second and listen to what I say

Damn I just gotta pray, I just gotta pray
How we gonna fly if we been stuck inside a cage
All that we can do is try to live another day,
Come together as a group and find a way to make a change

Everybody working hard just trying to make a wage up on pay day
In the same game, calling may day (May day)
Ain't nobody tell me they would treat me like a villain
As soon as I started building my music and all the fame came

I don't do this to be hot shit
I don't make raps for the profits
I'm making music for all of the kids that been killing themselves over gossip

I'm standing up for our people
For every religion that's peaceful
Whether Islamic, a Buddhist, a Jewish or if you pray inside a cathedral

I believe we can all make a difference
I believe we can fight off this evil
But the only way we'll survive
Is if we start treating each other as equals
