The Incident.. Video (MV)

Contemplating on this subject
Has given me writers block

Like I had so much shit
To say in the moment
But then it stopped like

I'm speechless
I don't know what to say I mean

Why children is shooting
Children today I mean

Human traffickers
Trapping children like prey I mean

The shit that happens
When our minds are absent away you see

As an artist I felt obligated
To write about this on paper

Everyday I'm waking up someone else
Is going under pavement

We march about gun control
But there's other weapons you know

We should focus on what corrodes
In the hearts of the broken souls

To prevent those who feel the need
To take someone else's life

Because they feel as if they've
Been wronged for so long, am I right?

But that does not give you
The privilege to murder the innocent

Hurt causes more hurt
With our thoughts trapped in the incident

We got children out here dying
In the arms of their parents

I wonder how we could move on
And pull together and manage

If I could save the mind
I'd help all my people get by

Life is too short to not evolve
It's all wrong until we all try

Know that I'm down to ride
For as long as I am alive

To fight for what I believe in
And peace because It's the time

If I could save the mind
I'd help all my people get by

Life is too short to not evolve
It's all wrong until we all try

Know that I'm down to ride
For as long as I am alive

To fight for what I believe in
And peace because It's the time

If I could save the mind
I'd help all my people get by

Life is too short to not evolve
It's all wrong until we all try

Know that I'm down to ride
For as long as I am alive

To fight for what I believe in
And peace because It's the time

So I had woke up tryna get
Dressed to impress, then I ran out of luck

Yeah it took a lil bit
To get ready and eventually
I had missed the bus

So my muva had driven me up
To the building
Then we seen paramedics

Confused for a bit, looked around
All I seen was a lot of upset parents

They told us to go back home
Not letting no one know
What was pursuing

As I Stepped foot in the house
I had got a text from my man
Said it was a shooting

I could not believe
I had sunk in my seat

As I looked at the wall
Tears ran down my cheek

I had felt so lost
Didn't even wanna speak
Didn't even wanna rap
Didn't even wanna beat

I had hit as many people up
As possible to see if they was alright
Knew it was about to be a long night

Couldn't even fathom
When I heard about what happened

Pushing back my album
As if nothing ever mattered now I'm

Trynna speak for the people
Who was affected by it

At a time like this
I would regret my silence

I can feel your pain
I know you hear me crying

It's the time for change
I know we all are tired

And now you gotta go back
Under the fact that your friend is gone
It's like

The f*ck because it's so hard
I write, to relate to you

Trynna relieve the hate in you
They tryna break you down

Like how much more
Can they take from you

We fight for a perfect world
While everybody is not perfect

We've buried historical things
While majority has come to surface

It's hard for us to move forward
While we are fighting for change

But we can't afford to give up
Because we don't want to be slaves

If I could save the mind
I'd help all my people get by

Life is too short to not evolve
It's all wrong until we all try

Know that I'm down to ride
For as long as I am alive

To fight for what I believe in
And peace because it's the time

If I could save the mind
I'd help all my people get by

Life is too short to not evolve
It's all wrong until we all try

Know that I'm down to ride
For as long as I am alive

To fight for what I believe in
And peace because It's the time

If I could save the mind
I'd help all my people get by

Life is too short to not evolve
It's all wrong until we all try

Know that I'm down to ride
For as long as I am alive

To fight for what I believe in
And peace because It's the time

I just hope that we all can learn
From the casualties of our mistakes

And make better for the future
The past has no retakes
