Rittz - Until We Meet Again lyrics
[Rittz - Until We Meet Again lyrics]
Another school shooting just occurred today
Thinking what on earth
Could make somebody run up in
A school or a church
And take innocent lives away based
On a person's race
Little school kids stripped
Of their vertebrae's
Fake rumors start to circulate
They beat his ass on camera
Cause they heard he's gay
The YouTube views almost over 30k
The internet got us so
Shallow that we impersonate
Celebs' thinking that we all should be one
And not that we failed
The world, they need male role models
Wish you knew your pops but he's gone
And mom don't keep up, she got two jobs
Don't like stress, working for her children
She's at work while her teenage daughter
In the room with a dude and
She twerking while he filming
Hurt somebody's feelings
Shit all we do online is diss and talk bad
And we bash total strangers
Hope's endangered
Glad to see my homie's made it back from Iraq
But his limbs are torn up
His friends got blown up
Enlisted as a kid, ever since, they grown up
They been through so much
Disposed to death in combat
How the fuck you come back and adapt?
My homie just got Hodgkin's Lymphoma
I'm praying every day hoping he gonna beat it
Strong motherfucker on the phone with me
Telling me jokes while he's going
Through his chemo treatment
And he didn't put one sob
Story on his timeline
Instagram or Facebook ain't always real life
People staring at their phones
So much that they
Forget to look up and see the skyline
Thinking that they Einstein cause they
Wrote a clever post
It's Just a flash in a tiny attention span
Music is chewed up like fast
Food and spewed out
Like "I'm new with a menu plan"
I can't hear shit sincerety clearly has died
My lyrics are merely mirrors to
The tears in my eyes
I’ve done my best to share my life
My privacy's been sacrificed
But now we've reached the end
Until we meet again
I've put my soul in every word
I've shared my pain until it hurts
But now we've reached the end
Until we meet again ah yeah
Woke up and I checked Worldstar this morning
A cop just shot and killed a black kid
It was all recorded
Just like the incident they put
Up two days before it
It's become so normal that it sickens me
I know that I'm probably going to
Piss some people off listening
Because I'm white and I'm talking about some
Shit we generally don't go through
But still I can't ignore it
There's so many people with power
That won't go forward
The problem ain't gonna solve it'self
Half of the cases are unreported until
It's caught on someone's cell
And this is not a diss to all law enforcement
We call on them to help out
When there is a threat
But, I guess it's because I'm white
If I was black I'd be scared to death
When David Banner asked us
"Where were all the white rappers at
When Mike Brown got gunned down?"
I couldn't think of any answers
I felt ashamed and afraid of the future
With no contribution or any
Helping hand to lend i went to Kansas City
Shooting videos for my last album
And I could feel the tension
Another time of my life that I felt I was
Guilty for the color of my skin tone
Three months later, I was back in Missouri
On tour the same night that
The verdict was read
I was in shock, on Twitter venting
Then one of my fans tweeted
That Mike Brown deserved it
I said, "Man, you dumb as fuck
Imagine you went to the store for blunts
And tried to run out the door with a pack
And the cops didn't bother arresting you
Or give you a lecture
But instead they just murdered you dead
Man this shit ain't right!"
I’ve done my best to share my life
My privacy's been sacrificed
But now we've reached the end
Until we meet again
I've put my soul in every word
I've shared my pain until it hurts
But now we've reached the end
Until we meet again ah yeah

And protecting their property
And find that of seeking and
Obtaining their safety and happiness
We've taken too many steps forward
To take this many back
We've taken too many steps forward
