MC Jin, Wyclef Jean - Stop the Hatred lyrics

Rain love on me rain love on me
Open up your eyes and finally see

My grandma passed away at the
Top of last year (Last year)
At the funeral drowning 'cause
I couldn't hold back tears  (O oh)
But after all that's happened this past year
Part of me sees grace in the
Fact that she's not here
As a grandson, this statement's a fact
No elderly should ever be victim
Of such a heinous attack
Prey on the weak only cowards
Would take advantage of that
No more staying meek
It's time to take a stand and react
(Stand and react)
A simple trip to the market
Thought the streets were safe
Turned targets


I speak up for my people's sake
From this pandemic
I'm hopeful that we'll see escape
Until then, love's the only vaccine for hate
(Vaccine for hate)
Now when my folks leave the house
It's quite the norm (O oh)
My mind's flooded with thoughts of
What might go wrong
Truthfully, I wish I didn't have
To write this song
But, it's only right I recite it
Since this mic is on

What if we went a little bit out
Of our way to stop the hatred?
(Imagine that) stop the hatred
What if we took a little time out
Of our day to stop the hatred?
(Could it be?) stop the hatred
Rain love on me

Uhh, he cold like Antarctica
It don't matter if you black and white
Says the man in the mirror
The squad's facing the terror
I'm talking mother, father
Sister, brother, grandma, and grandpapa
All doomed 'cause of skin color
Paranoid like my mind playing tricks
On this ghetto boy so I gotta scream for my
Mama like I'm George Floyd
Now I'm all in linen like John imagining
But he ain't give peace a chance
He took eight lives with him
Where the love go still unanswered
Politicians, they be flipping Gabby Douglas
Divide so they can conquer then
They chain our ancestors
Come together like the Beatles remastered

What if we went a little bit out
Of our way to stop the hatred?
(Imagine that) stop the hatred
What if we took a little time out
Of our day to stop the hatred?
(Could it be?) stop the hatred
Rain love on me

It's new footage every other day
Every bit of it hard to watch
I'm talking to my son
He's eight listen to your pops
I said don't fall for the bait
The actions of a few
Don't reflect the nature of an entire race
(Entire race) maybe the past is full of
Lessons but we missed it
History shows, indeed, tension has existed
(O oh) between the two communities
But here's a fact
Beyond colors, we're humans
Not just yellow or black like Chris Rock
I ain't liberal or conservative inside
I just know the enemy would
Love to further the divide
Media don't care how the story is told
They're more concerned with how
The story is sold (Sold)
Preconceived notions make it harder to see
Together there's much power
Rush Hour, look at Carter and Lee
(Carter and Lee)
Hopefully, through dialogue we'll
Start to agree
More light for you doesn't make
The world darker for me nuh uh

What if we went a little bit out
Of our way to stop the hatred?
(Imagine that) stop the hatred
What if we took a little time out
Of our day to stop the hatred?
(Could it be?) stop the hatred
Rain love on me

Rain love on me (Rain) rain love on me
Open up your eyes and finally see
Open up your eyes and finally see
Rain love on me (Rain love on me)
Rain love on me
Open up your eyes and finally see

I want you to say exactly what's
On your heart right now, say it
Stop the hatred
Say it one more time Chance stop the hatred
