Up To Me
So much corruption
Be frontin' to say I wasn't mad
Ain't no discussion if I go out
Do something rash
So much done passed
To outlast ten lifetimes
We pray to entities
Who ain't throwing no lifelines
So bout time we act like
We sick and tired
Commence the mission
Let all the inconsistence slide
Right to the side
We only worried bout you and I
Yours, mines and ours
Ain't been a better time than now
I don't know how
But I'm sure we would surely find out
Can't help but try
For the brothers whose souls been crying out
Not just for vengeance
I understand they must be in pain
A life is gone
And who could really help ease the strain
No, but for justice
Cause what if his life had had a chance
You didn't know him
So what if he ain't a perfect man
Or model citizen
What position you put him in
Or better yet
Look at the conditions you put on him
Since it's up to me
I'ma do my part
Give voices to those that lost their's
If it was up to me
I would make it stop
Help your mama stop those tears
If it was up to me
You wouldn't be lost
I would help you fight your fears
If it was up to me
I would pay the cost
But I can't even go there
We need correction
For there is protection in direction
No second guessing
Make sure your children learning these lessons
Open your eyes to what's going on
Recognize that you and me singing the same song
It ain't wrong
Practice harmony
Honestly, there ain't nothin like it
Don't just be standing aside
When it seems things getting violent
Ain't nothin like losing your life
And you just try'na breathe
Play in production
Yet nobody would try for lead
Hands in your pocket
I'm powerless so why you ain't stop it
Gone switch the topic
Know what? Fuck it
Just let me die then
Cause if this the world we live in
Then I can opt out
Don't sit there claiming you feel
Or know what I'm talking bout
Come walk the mile
Take a stand at the very least
And look around
We need the strength of the mustard seeds
So peace to Queens, peace to Kings
And maybe peace to babies
These people sick
They malcontent and suffering from rabies
Since it's up to me
I'ma do my part
Give voices to those that lost their's
If it was up to me
I would make it stop
Help your mama stop those tears
If it was up to me
You wouldn't be lost
I would help you fight your fears
If it was up to me
I would pay the cost
But I can't even go there
Be frontin' to say I wasn't mad
Ain't no discussion if I go out
