B.o.B - Mercy Me lyrics

Yo, I don't care who listening
I find it kind of sickenin'
We send billions to Israel
But shit on Flint, Michigan a country
A country founded off of immigrants
Now we wanna build a wall to
Keep out all the immigrants
What, what, what, what you witnessin'
Military exercises demonstrated on citizens
Anti-war petitionin', drone strike incomin'
Homeless vets decorate the street
Can't get no income in
How do you save a world that can't be saved
Uh?
How do you raise a child that won't behave?
(Preach)
Wakin' up from the lies, I feel betrayed
I'm guessin' the rabbit hole we dug
Was actually just a grave
Skeletons in the closet they fossilized
Niggas want the truth sugar
Coated and caramelized
Life is like a science fiction
Book where the author dies
Well I ain't dead yet 'cause
The hit ain't been authorized

I hear freedom ringin' but I
Won't answer the phone
Because the people on the other end
Will not leave us alone
Mr officer I come in peace just
Know I brought my piece
And if we can't settle this
Peacefully the violence will increase, yeah
I don't condone racial divide
I won't be cloned
I will survive I walk alone look in my eye
So give me justice give me peace
Or give my freedom back at least
So we can meet up in the street you decide

Who you bow to?
Elected councils, full of scoundrels
Who now rule the world around you
While wearing house shoes they clown you
You wear your house or your whole house full
Regimes don't die they change they
Name and the accounts move
Life goes on with or without you
Words fall on deaf ears
I think they soundproof
The sound of justice makes us cringe
But how can we stand the sound?
You can't even stand your ground
A noose around your neck the sharpest
Minds will cut it down
Caught inside the web the
Internet is tightly wound
Every day a hundred K? Feel
More like a couple thou'
What's a dollar to a pound? What's
A pound to the crown? Look, ay
I'm sick of waitin' man this
Flag I'm sick of wavin'
No more participatin'
Time to form our own nation
You call it integration I
Call that discrimination
They say it's risk I'm takin'
I call it decision makin'

I hear freedom ringin' but I
Won't answer the phone
Because the people on the other end
Will not leave us alone
Mr officer I come in peace just
Know I brought my piece
And if we can't settle this
Peacefully the violence will increase, yeah
I don't condone racial divide
I won't be cloned
I will survive I walk alone look in my eye
So give me justice give me peace
Or give my freedom back at least
So we can meet up in the street you decide

You not an activist you're
More like a re-activist false flags
Crisis actors trying to re-enact some shit
Stories don't match I never
Believe half the shit
While they're sneakin' pass a
Law we're easily distracted, ay
Tryin' to get through to these dense fucks
You're too stupid to insult
I say the shit anybody can prove
I don't know guess if it
Rhymes it's gotta be true
Look, cheap tricks and fabricated speeches
Blonde hair blue eyes -
They even fabricated Jesus
Just look at the salary paid to teachers
It's obvious they don't want us
To graduate into leaders
Clearly in court videos don't prove much
Why is news cameras in the courtroom huh?
Even if it's just a game
I hear the signal louder
I think I got the message they
Don't really care about us

I hear freedom ringin' but I
Won't answer the phone
Because the people on the other end
Will not leave us alone
Mr officer I come in peace just
Know I brought my piece
And if we can't settle this
Peacefully the violence will increase, yeah
I don't condone racial divide
I won't be cloned
I will survive I walk alone look in my eye
So give me justice give me peace
Or give my freedom back at least
So we can meet up in the street you decide

Fuck you Farmer Jim!
You're all alone out here on the frontier
No friends, no family, no cops
No help at all this is the Wild West son
The Wild fucking West
There ain't no guards coming out
Here to save your ass
It's just you and me and a murder of crows
Waiting to pick over our dead bones
So you take a breather
You let that sink in, don't take too long
Yeah?
