Civil War

(Sometimes I feel like I'm at war with myself)

Sometimes I feel like I'm at war with myself
Don't know what's good for me, like I'm at war with my health
I know I shouldn't be, afraid to ask the homies for help
But I just zip the lip and fasten the belt
Sometimes I feel like I'm just stuck with this duality
My mind filled with thoughts of peaceful and calamity
A silent night for me would truly be insanity
And self-destruction is a hell of a drug
Some call me a thug, a bird who needa catch me some slugs
Student, teacher, peacekeeper I check all the above
Like the government, I hide my demons under the rug
I'm just a lost boy who need me a hug
Somebody gimme a drank, gimme a joint
Pass that oil for my lungs I will anoint
Faith the size of a lentil
If you hear my words and think they dumb suspenseful
Then like a dull pencil, you missing the point

I tried to hold on to who I was before
My pride ain't what I'm hanging on to no more
I look inside and see signs of a civil war
(Sometimes I feel like I'm at war with myself)
I tried to hold on to who I was before
My pride ain't what I'm hanging on to no more
I look inside and see signs of a civil war
(Sometimes I feel like I'm at war with myself)

Sometimes I feel like I'm at war with my neighbor
Treat 'em like myself, but that ain't doing no favors
Love is a flavor we never did savor
Now America is hurting but don't want us to save her
The world is on fire, nation on lockdown
What got the people marching from the ghettos to downtown
When we stand up for what's right we get knocked down
Kneel to the powers that be, homie not now
They don't excel the people, just wanna extort us
Bomb our neighborhoods but don't even warn us
Just kick us to the streets to do a sweep
Don't keep the peace, just squeeze the heat like hand warmers
When we finally shoot our shot it's an and one
Release the lunatics, hold our leaders for ransom
They want us with our hands up, on the floor, and some
Sounds of a civil war the new national anthem
On top of that, we treat our youth like some lab rats
Send 'em back to school, rocking they hazmats
Say it'd be one love if the churches could have mass
But since Trump won, the flag been chilling at half staff
We all to blame, we all got our vices
Consume all the ads, but don't take advices
Get fed by devices that speak divisive
The poorest of people pay the highest prices
So, to what conspiracies, are you listening
But choose to keep the true story a mystery
Sitting down comfortably, watching yo TV screens
Play American re-runs repeating history

We fighting the same fight that we was before
Civilians ain't acting civil no more
I look outside and see signs of a civil war
Sometimes I feel like we're at war with ourselves

(Uh)

Sometimes I feel like I'm at war with myself
No trouble
No trouble
No trouble
No trouble
We don't want no trouble
No trouble ... just love
No trouble ... just love
No trouble ... just love
No trouble ... just love
We don't want no trouble
No trouble ... just love, love
No trouble ... just love, love
No trouble ... just love, love
No trouble ... just love, love
