In This World

In a world where my skin is a weapon
In a world where our neighbors turn against us
In a world where my heart is not enough
To battle against the injustice
In a world where my brothers hide in fear
Of the backward cops you choose to hold so dear
In a world where I can never forget
Those who look like me
Don't have a fair chance to live oh

In a world like this it's a risk to exist
So we fight and we pray for some kind of saving grace
In a world, oh in this world
In a world like this it's a hit or miss
And the hits hit harder the more we accomplish
In a world oh in this world

We've felt heartbreak that you could not imagine
Trampled on by "oh what happens happens"
If seven shots to his back makes you question
What he did to deserve that
You're not just wrong
You are the problem

In a world like this it's a risk to exist
So we fight and we pray for some kind of saving grace
In a world oh in this world
In a world like this it's a hit or miss
And the hits hit harder the more we accomplish
In a world oh in this world

Where do we draw the line
Don't you say it's fine
Cause my heart it breaks
Every life they take
It is personal out of my control
Time to respond
Fight against all wrong
The movement will stay strong

In a world like this it's a risk to exist
So we fight and we pray for some kind of saving grace
In a world oh in this world
In a world like this it's a hit or miss
And the hits hit harder the more we accomplish
In a world oh in this world

In a world like this it's a risk to exist
So we fight and we pray for some kind of saving grace
In a world oh in this world
In a world like this it's a hit or miss
And the hits hit harder the more we accomplish
In a world oh in this world
