FIRE 03:04
Forgive us lord for we do not know what we doing Got bombings on the Gaza Strip turning buildings into ruins Fatalities of infant children turning families to dust Lifeless bodies being Haled out/who do we trust? Where do we go when churches are shot up boys are touched Is it effecting you yet? Have I said too much? Am I/playing both sides cuz I don't know how to be Am I/disrespectful if I have to take a knee? When all I wanna do is make sure my son has a home Just making sure that my brother ain't in a foster home All I wanna do is make sure my story is told You think your swaying my opinion or decisions on my goals? No My eyes opened wide thanks to my brother old ghost So It's/gonna take more than just a Facebook post And we/might not agree on certain things but I know That if we make it through the flames then things will change for us both Hook These oil fields are on (fire) Cops with they guns screaming (fire) They be setting churches on (fire) And We entertained by the (fire) Verse 2 The media has got you fooled entertainment isn't news They pushing gossip on us all and we be the first to view When a mother on meadow view became innocent bystander But I don't see not one reporter or a news camera I can't lie and say that I have all the answers But I still think the meat we eat is pumped full of cancer See I still think the medicine we drink isn't working Before the social media these cats have been lurking Cameras on street corners looking on your block You've been recorded thanks to microphones at bus stops What is wrong with us? Why are we out of our minds? Destroying a reservation building up these pipelines But they barely talk about it and it's on our own land See that's the kinda stuff Im not/ gonna understand FEMA coffins are waiting while we rioting and looting Closed doors they don't want us to know what they doing

Live Facebook feeds of a man dying from a bullet A cop panicking a girlfriend asking why did you pull it? A football star refusing to stand up during the anthem While a candidate thinks building a wall is the answer Deploying army reserves after elections looks suspicious illegal emails have been deleted and gone missing Illegal choke holds while screaming I can't breath While Brock Turner gets away with sexual assault felonies Domestic terrorism never in question with patriotism Meanwhile half of my skin color fills up the prisons Turning drug addicts into killers instead of rehabilitation But god damn I love this nation We are built on Ancient burial grounds of native Americans Putting slave owners on our money while being so arrogant Going to Rio and repping the USA making false claims My hands across my heart cuz I'm ashamed Verse 2 Our swag our slang our style our natural ways Our music our leaders and no one is privileged from what you say Ok I get it We suppose to just agree and nod You ain't picking peaches but we taking up all the jobs You got some nerve Uncle Sam wants a Uncle Tom Wanting me to scream uncle and I'm screaming naw! You more afraid of peace/there's no more John Lennon I'm yelling bob Marley you screaming San Quentin You created the word nigga now it's just our Slang You rather have us strung out speaking on whips and chains Double meaning if you see it? then your eyes open believe half of what you see and remain focus We so close to understanding shit/ we ain't hopeless They know it's true that why they killing us in the open You should be thankful we ain't asking for revenge Got refugees ducking air strikes at the age of 10

about

This EP entitled "PEACE" is heavily influenced by what is going on in today's society from race, war, and politics to personal struggles. It is a project that sampled the great Bob Marley and has no profanity in the music.
