Sol, Otieno Terry - See The End lyrics
[Sol, Otieno Terry - See The End lyrics]
I'm in the lobby about to make a scene
I've got questions I need answers
Politicians on the TV screen
Might as well be holograms 'cuz
I ain't seen them in the streets
Never heard them speakers weep
We ain't had a voice 'til we found a beat
I could smoke a pound of weed
And still not be high enough
For them to hear me out
What is that about, huh? Obama let me down
So I'm cashin' out
They all the same when they in the house
Question now who they workin' for
They ain't reppin' us
Kanye was right when he ever spoke
They didn't gave a fuck so here I am
Nothing more than a man
Nothing less than the rest
But still I hope for a chance
I know the future is cold
I know the present is tense
I know the dollar run the world
Yeah
If I open my eyes again, will I see the end?
Will I fall again?
And if they come for my life again
Will they see the end? Or will I fall again?
Whatchu gon' do when the
Whole world gone crazy?
Like right now when police
Are shooting at babies?
Not yet grown, still get popped in the dome
First they see you foreclose
Now they robbing your home, whoa
Redlining is illegal pay order is illegal
But gentrifying is the latest
Thing they buying and all you hear are major
Label artists on the radio
I ain't hating though, I'm just saying though
What are you saying when you
Singing on the microphone? People listen yo
That's whatchu' famous for
Turning dollars into change we
Can save the globe but most times we don't
We just smoke up and fall back
And stay safe at home tune out go numb
While they pull out they guns
Tears fill my lungs while the
Streets fill with blood
Look at these flames
All the fire from your cannon make it
Hard for me to see another way
I ain't running I ain't ducking but I'm damn
Sure ain't staying in the blast no
I'm a king and my queen need a brother
Who can keep her out the grave
Whole world gone crazy
Whole world gone crazy
If I open my eyes again, will I see the end?
Will I fall again?
And if they come for my life again
Will they see the end? Or will I fall again?
Dash-cam footage seeing bodies dropping
Twitter timeline got us all talking
Are we the generation who's
Gonna do something?
That's an honest question
See my nephew playing with
Guns make-believing and such
Had to tell him about Tamir Rice
And take away the fun
Now he resents the fact that he's black
Says he wishes he was light skinned like I am
Self hate, stereotypes
Make the narrowest minds
They've been handing us lies since
The beginning of time displacing the kings
Raping the queens so they could
Break up the dream
Port-au-Prince in my heart
Holocaust on my mind
I write a rhyme I could fly
Some of these artists are gods
I ain't dismissing your problems I
Know they've never been mine
Never walked in your shoes ain't
Gonna stop walking in mine
There's a problem with hip
Hop polarizing our thoughts
You mean to say I ain't real
Because I got positive vibes?
You mean to say he can't perform
Cause he caught up a charge
People judging like a competition
Gimmicks like a politician
City segregated, music venues, no exception
You know the message
That's unless you never listen
Microphone checking when I hold my weapon
I know everything I do is a blessing
From the water that I drink
To the food I'm digesting
I've seen people dying fighting just
To find some peace
It's ironic thinking violence to get us
Where we need by any means
Sometimes it does
Sometimes you can't just run you stand up
My momma raised me a man
My father raised me a leader the world made
Me a rapper stumping in my Adidas
I don't need a plaque, I don't need a mil'
I just need to eat
I just need to feel like I'm speaking my real
Or I might explode, my mind might just go
I've seen too much pain did
Not change the globe yeah
If I don't see the end, I
Pray you hear me now, i pray you understand
This is more than me
I never wanted to be anything more than you I
Just want to be part of the peace
If I open my eyes again, will I see the end?
Will I fall again?
And if they come for my life again
Will they see the end? Or will I fall again?
I've got questions I need answers
