You and I

We′re just different colors

Different people got different mothersDodging bullets yeah they missed another

No one's safe better run for cover

To love yourself gotta love another

You can′t get lightning without the thunder

The one you shots probably got a brother

They all say truth has been on the surface

Think they're scared to show us what's under

If we knew would it all be worth it

Can′t do too much when we′re just a number

You or me could pointing the muzzle of a gun far away at a distant cousin

We won't know cause they told us nothing

Ain′t thinking 'bout lives while they pressing buttons

I ain′t above 'em but truthfully I ain′t on either side neither

And what's with the leaking of emails then turn right around expect us to believe her

Dividing the people by building a wall as we all stand aside in the bleachers

I guess I grew up with a different belief in what I would define as a leader

Killing each other is killing our kind

Live in a prison that's greater than time

Hatred and greed are consuming our minds

Are we at fault for not reading these signs

Turning a shoulder while little kids die

You be the judge if the morals apply

At the rate we are going we will not survive

Are you prepared to look death in the eyes

Too much sin to get absolution

Every day in the world there′s a massive shooting

Teenage girls stuck in prostitution

Been the victim of a war causing mass confusion

How could we come together as a race

If God could speak to us then what would he say

Make no mistake

Ain′t no escape

When the infinite comes and determines our fate

Wait, I'm about to break

I been feeling pressure man I never been a saint

Can you envision the picture that I′m trying to paint

Then maybe take a second and listen to what I say

Damn I just gotta pray, I just gotta pray

How we gonna fly if we been stuck inside a cage

All that we can do is try to live another day

Come together as a group and find a way to make a change

Everybody working hard just trying to make a wage up on pay day

In the same game, calling may day (May day)

Ain't nobody tell me they would treat me like a villain

As soon as I started building my music and all the fame came

I don′t do this to be hot shit

I don't make raps for the profits

I′m making music for all of the kids that been killing themselves over gossip

I'm standing up for our people

For every religion that's peaceful

Whether Islamic, a Buddhist, a Jewish or if you pray inside a cathedral

I believe we can all make a difference

I believe we can fight off this evil

But the only way we′ll survive

Is if we start treating each other as equals
