Hope for Better Days

So much going on in the world
Not really sure what to do or what to say
We live in a nation rooted by racism and y'all think it's okay
I'm tired of being so silent on the topic
I think it's time we all speak up
Sitting behind a phone and tweeting alone will never be enough

We can only hope, and dream
And fight for things
That we have yet to see
There will come a time and day
When things will be okay
But until then, we've gotta change

It's 2020 yet there's so much hate in the world
I'm speaking on the matter but can't change it alone
We gotta bring that change
They gotta know our names
Staying quiet, doing nothing, is the reason shit's the same
I may not have a big platform, but imma use my voice
The problem with y'all is that y'all make the opposite choice
This shit is not a game
It's not just gonna go away
The sad thing is that y'all think it will magically change
About two minutes on this beat
I wouldn't call this shit the heat
I'm just giving y'all some of the hard truth to eat
Go on and feast

We can only hope, and dream
And fight for things
That we have yet to see
There will come a time and day
When things will be okay
But until then, we've gotta change

We've gotta change
This ain't no game
We've gotta change
I've got hope for better days
We've gotta change
This ain't no game
We've gotta change
I've got hope for better days
