If God said he made us
In likeness of himself
Then what are we doing
All this killing all of this
Not loving one another
Man we're powerful
Where would we be if
We opened our eyes
And tried to see
Where could we go
If we showed a little more Compassion
Where could we end
Up if we just smiled
Once in a while
I promise you folks, it
Won't cramp your style
Why are our babies dying
Why are our mothers
Crying
Why are our fathers
Yelling and screaming
Why are we steady sleeping
But we're not dreaming
Not our theme. This ain't
The way It goes no
Why we sleeping, not having
Real dreams
We gotta keep reaching
Why are we settling
Why our families gotta die
Why families gotta yell and
Scream
Why our future Gotta die
Why is everybody settling
What's up to everybody, top of the hour
We are cause he says we are now
Witness our power
Everybody's lookin with they eyes wide
Open
Rushing towards nothing,
Let's gain some focus
Like my granny
Used to say these folks
Ain't thanking they drankin
We all riding in the same boat, and
The sucka is sanking
Whenever you speak
Your mind people say
You pissed off
They like to think you bitter and
Try to say that you're lost
They Mad cause you understand
Where things are goin and you talk
While they keep accepting less
And takin It raw.
What we need to do is look at ourselves
And start believing
We spending less time living
Than time for conceiving
Families getting murdered
Some cry and say God called em
Keep shifting the blame for the killers and
We gone and spoil em
I ain't charging just sharing my mind
I love this life and love our time
I love our resilience and I love our grind
But now it's time to rewind
Rewind, refine, refurbish
Replenish re-encourage
Reunite , reverse, fight
Killing one another
Into the distance of
The night
Recover our parental rights
Snatch back our future
This wound is now bigger than
A couple of sutures
Life is what you make
It nothing is impossible
We can do anything
And ain't no Stoppin us
Life is what we make it
Nothing is impossible
You can do anything
And ain't no stopping ya
Winners never quit
Quitters never win
Winners never quit
Quitters never win
Why our families Gotta die
Why our families gotta yell and Scream
Why our future Gotta die
Why is everybody settling
Why Why
Why our sisters gotta die
Why our brothers gotta yell and Scream
Why our future gotta die
Why is everybody settling
Why Why
Tao, Tao, Tao
All lives matter
Why
