G-Eazy, Drew Love - Love Is Gone lyrics

It's hard to sleep these days
The sounds of all the screams keep me awake
Love is gone, love is gone
Bend until we break
Stand by and watch us all go up in flames
Love is gone, love is gone (Uh, yeah)

Shit, the world is in flames
We worry about materials and
The simplest things
When cops are killing people
And they can't take the blame
They get acquitted, then you wonder
Why all the people rage, stupid
We all keep praying for peace
Praying for progress
If you live in the hills then
You stay in the projects
So folks won't listen if they think
What I'm saying is conscious
They'd rather hear me turning up
On some simpler topics
Yeah, so what's my place, am I outta line?
Then speaking on what's going on and
Saying what's on my mind?
This shit is fucked up
Plus it's happening all the time
My job, as a rapper is to entertain
We tryna shine
I'm not no politician, but they listen
Somebody inform 'em all the kids gotta find
Out what's really important
I got a platform and a voice
And a stage to perform on
Music could be a good escape
But outside it's been storming, yeah

It's hard to sleep these days
The sounds of all the screams keep me awake
Love is gone, love is gone
Bend until we break
Stand by and watch us all go up in flames
Love is gone, love is gone (Yeah, uh)

As I sit in the studio, guess the thinking is
If the statement's too crazy
Then should I finish this?
Or if my image is pretty
Don't wanna blemish this
Or ever split up my fans, reduce my relevance
Pay attention and understand what
The premise is
Everything not gravy, we can't pretend it is
So I salute YG, fuck the president
'Cause he a fucking racist
Supported by white supremacists fuck Donald
Go back to just running businesses
We all wishing somehow we
Could've prevented this
Until we all love each other
Nobody benefit's
Minorities and feminists, trans, gays
And immigrants
The government mix politics and religiousness
So a man's body's more free
Than a woman's is
The anger is real, the riots are limitless
And nothing's gonna change 'til we
Killing off all this ignorance, yeah

It's hard to sleep these days
The sounds of all the screams keep me awake
Love is gone, love is gone
Bend until we break
Stand by and watch us all go up in flames
Love is gone, love is gone

Monsters, we've turned into monsters
How did we get the way we are?
How did we get the way we are?
How did we get the way we are?
Our conscience, we lost it
How did we get the way we are?
How did we get the way we are?
How did we get the way we are?
We are, we are
How did we get the way we are?
We are, we are
How did we get the way we are?
We are, we are
How did we get the way we are?
We are, we are
How did we get the way we are?
