Walk Away

Wake up
I ain't see the rise of the sun in a long time
I don't
Know which day I step outside'll be my last one
This world
Seem to got it out for me
And those who look like me
Those who breathe like me
It's been a struggle for so long
We are so tired
We are so tired
Lord knows we've tried
They say peace
But then gun down my brother
Shoot me, kill my mother
Choke life from my father
Doing the best that he can
With all that he had
Then they shame me for havin' no Dad
And wonder why we so mad
So much fighting to survive
All we wanna do is thrive
Like everyone else
Cuz we're just like everyone else
But this ain't a cry for no help
We done cried to sleep
Cried to release
To keep from going insane
How can we drop any more tears?
When our cries fall on deaf ears
We fall
We get up
Resilience is noble
But we fed up

I just want to see tomorrow
Though I can't walk away
But in pain I cannot stay
I gotta value me today
So this is goodbye

I just want to see tomorrow
Though I can't walk away
But in pain I cannot stay
I gotta value me today
So this is goodbye

I look in the mirror
It's not as foggy as it once was
Wisdom makes visions get clearer
Liberty's become my new drug
You don't want that for me
Guess I gotta get it for myself
Keep ya apologies on the shelf
Fuck this, we gon' make our own wealth
I look at this world
Starin' it deep in the eyes
Mind blown, asking why
Does so much pain
Need to be publicized
For everyone to start to realize
We ALL have a right to life?
So One Love with my fist high...
It's time to say goodbye

I just want to see tomorrow
Though I can't walk away
But in pain I cannot stay
I gotta value me today
So this is goodbye

I don't owe you a damn thing
Through my blood all my dues are paid
So in pain I cannot stay
I gotta value me today
So this is goodbye
