K-Rino - Solutions lyrics

Uh, huh we been knowin' for years
What the problems are
The issue is we goin’ in circles tryna
Figure out how to solve ‘em
That day got to come to an end, come on

I hear you talk about racial injustice
But we're not too many years from
The back of the buses
The cops still killin', we still talkin’
Screaming, "No justice
No peace!" We still marchin'
I see community meetings at town halls
But ain't nobody there but
Grandpas and grandmas
You steady talk about gun reform
But, it's still seemin' like
Everyone is armed (I ain't trippin')
The educational system is broken
The weed is synthetic but we still smokin'
We watch politicians stunt in the open
Knowin’ both candidates dirty but
We keep votin’

We need solutions
If not we'll forever be victims
We familiar with the problems but
How do we fix ‘em?
It just seems like everybody’s
Lips is bumpin'
Time is steady runnin' out, man
We gotta do something
Solutions, if not we'll forever be victims
We familiar with the problems but
How do we fix ‘em?
It just seems like everybody’s
Lips is bumpin'
Time is steady runnin' out, man
We gotta do something

The hood's still got violence daily
All this dope got people
Actin' wild and crazy
Pill-poppin' for a quick release
But CVS and Walgreens slangin'
More than the streets (Teach)
If pharmaceuticals are not the move
And Ritalin got your five year
Old chopped and screwed
Innocent students gettin' shot in schools
And it seemin' like we
Runnin' out of options, dude
Reality shows teachin' girls how to be hoes
And for a little dough
You can get ‘em out of they clothes
And fake rap pimps little boys
And tryna be those now he's gone rogue
Deceivin' everybody he knows (Why?)
And you don't wanna go to war with him
He don't respect his daddy ‘cause
He makin' more than him (slim)
Lookin' for love ‘cause now it's missin'
We gotta bring the family back together
How? I'm listenin'

We need solutions
If not we'll forever be victims
We familiar with the problems but
How do we fix ‘em?
It just seems like everybody's
Lips is bumpin'
Time is steady runnin' out, man
We gotta do something
Solutions, if not we'll forever be victims
We familiar with the problems but
How do we fix ‘em?
It just seems like everybody's
Lips is bumpin'
Time is steady runnin' out, man
We gotta do something

Listen, the solution is clear but it's
Not a two day war
The black man and woman gotta
Learn who they are
We been disconnected but the
Resurrection will start
The second we're taught we are
A reflection of God
When our names got taken
We were cast as worthless
A person with no identity can have no purpose
If we don't speak it then
The history remains a secret
Those with the knowledge can't be
Too vain to teach it collective economics
Got to be determined to try it
Products in our own community, we sell it
We buy it
Study the science of business, teach
Learn and apply it
Got us living stronger unity
And never deny it when jobs are up
Then crime will naturally drop
Poverty will diminish, in time
It'll actually stop
And we won't ever have to
Fear brutality from a cop
‘cause we'll police our own communities
Invaders get popped
We build our own schools where
Our children can dream
And the curriculum enhances their self-esteem
And the study of agriculture is
One of the main rooms grow our own food
No poison is being consumed

We need solutions
If not we'll forever be victims
We familiar with the problems but
How do we fix ‘em?
It just seems like everybody's
Lips is bumpin'
Time is steady runnin' out, man
We gotta do something
Solutions, if not we'll forever be victims
We familiar with the problems but
How do we fix ‘em?
It just seems like everybody's
Lips is bumpin'
Time is steady runnin' out, man
We gotta do something
