Something More
What is the meaning of a well-balanced life?
A teacher wanted to know
Is it about what's in it for me?
Or, is there something more?
A student sitting way in the back
Stood up with one hand raised
I got advice on a prison bus ride and
Here's what I heard that man say
Don't' fall for the hate, it's the devil's game, young fella, young fella
Don't fall for the hate, you only getting' played. young fella, young fella
Don't fall for the hate, it only leads to pain, young brotha, young brotha
Don't fall for the hate, karma gonna get you one day. young brotha
Oh, are your friends a mirror or a window?
Hold u down or do they help you grow?
Do they show you the same ole same old?
Make you feel drained somehow?
Teacher said with a change of view
You will always have things to do
Are your friends a mirror or a window?
Well, I guess it's up to you
Don't' fall for the hate, it's the devil's game, young fella, young fella
Don't fall for the hate, you only getting' played. young fella,young fella
Don't fall for the hate, it only leads to pain, young brotha, young brotha
Don't fall for the hate, karma gonna get you one day. young brotha
Oh -oh- oh, I hear a symphony of silence
Oh -oh- oh, sung by victims of gun violence
Oh-oh- oh, friends and family
Oh -oh- oh, replaying memories
Yo. People get angry and they dispute
Don't use words, they just shoot
Martin Luther King, a man who cared, said
"Hate is too great of a burden to bear"
It's something we have to try to work at
Darkness cannot drive out the darkness
You see, only light can do that"
So help me honor the life of Nipsey Nipsey
Laid to rest - at thirty-three
Same age as the man we still call J.C.
Who led the 12 and they believed
In helping their community by
Loving sinners, whores, and even lepers
Gay or straight, the gospel back then ain't
The same as today... yeah don't fall for the hate
Don't fall for the hate. don't fall for the hate
Young fellow. Don't fall for the hate. Yeah
Young fellow. yeah Don't fall for the hate. Yeah
Young fellow. Don't fall for the hate. Yeah
What is the meaning of a well-lived life?
A teacher wanted to know
Is it about what's in it for me?
Or, is there something more? Oh-oh
Is there something more?
