Lyrics

For all the ones we lost too soon One, two (one, two) One, two (one, two) Got my hands high in the air But this is not a concert It's a sign of despair No, I am not a monster I'm just out of my head It's like a jungle sometimes Make me wonder how I keep from going under With the lions and tigers and bears Enough to make a cyborg break out into tears It is not as it appears They think we all crazy Just unruly niggas and tar babies But what if these fuck ass officer bar bradys Was killing y'all babies And the cost of your life was less than a dog's maybe You'd probably call some of your boys and have that itch To go out hunting for that something pop up out that bitch Like, go 'head and drop it Nothing you do can stop it Please don't knock it cause my pockets Feeling that doberman pinch Anything from candy to cigarettes can get a nigga killed But I'll be honest, man, I'm running out of shit to feel I ain't tryna tell my biz But I got the blues And I watch the news like Nigga, what the fuck I'm 'posed to tell my kids? So fuck your city ordinance This is for the flourishing So hot in herre and that's word to West Florissant We seem to keep from shooting Bring the chorus in For real I just gotta find a better way I just gotta find a better way I just gotta find a better way I just gotta find a better way I just gotta find a better way Religion's like a gang, I guess You judge me by the way I dress My name and sex and think that I'm on the way to display a vest Since 9/11 I've been off the plane, detained at best My name's Amir Muhammed, no officer, I ain't change it yet My father came in '76 Not to get your job, but to get a job See, we ain't make the A-bomb and we don't want your yard Just a piece of heavenly bliss, they painting a rift One-sided, I think they cheat the scorecard Guess this is where I go hard or go home Can't do that cause y'all done turned my courtyard to warzone So let me grab this weapon and load it with no discretion Exploding on a pose just to prove a point that I ain't messing I'm talking musical lessons Marching movement and message Stop the news from using shock as a weapon for suppressing diseases Won't deplete us Can't compare the total slaughter to soldiers who follow orders And kidnapping all the daughters I'm here to drive your taxis Feed your families and your fears And kick a little knowledge in your ear If you ask me So please go 'head, get at me If my words loud as your actions And we can come together and do something that's impacting I think I found a better way I just gotta find a better way I just gotta find a better way I just gotta find a better way I just gotta find a better way I just gotta find a better way I just gotta find a better way I just gotta find a better way I just gotta find a better way
