Programmed
A picture painted from experience, we glare at this and dance
When will we see different conclusions to the issues that's at hand?
Is it the person that I am, or the people we've became?
Off the tv screens, movies, or toxic video games
View the flag of Americans, what's the deeper image?
I see beaters, racists, convicted rapist, black death by minutes
Out of country, you see freedom, or maybe dreams that have no limit
The stigmas always different, how much time until we break them?
For years we're held by stories that determine how we're viewed
It's like we follow rules so much, we're lost in what to do
That's why the revolution generation is a threat
Breaking barriers and prejudice that force us to forget
How it used to be, racial struggles that we're used to seeing
All we need is love and peace so we can find some unity
And this life is like a puzzle but there's always truth to seek
We gotta lay off the critiques and find the love in you and me
We gotta lay off the critiques and find the love in you and me
(Break it down)
When will the world change? Our brains are arranged
To act a way to things that don't have to be explained
So if I'm acting strange, it's how I've been since birth
Could we all come to a compromise existing on this earth?
It's like we programmed (Shout out to the media)
It's like we programmed (Shout out to the media)
Programmed (Shout out to the media)
Born with some innocence, then it took a little time
Fast forward a year or two, now I got a different mind
We learn so many lessons, and how we live is a reflection
Rest In Peace to George Floyd
The way he died, I've been stressing
Say I'm with my little brother and get pulled over by a cop
I'm already ready to get questioned or get hit up by a shot
Or have my face on the cement while people watch from up the block
That's just something that I'm ready for
Black homicide
We at a war
Because what I am used to
I'll be shocked if I ever met a good cop, that let me go without all the gun smoke
Because what I am used to
I'll be shocked if we come together as a community, it's way more than just you and me
Because what I am used to
Our bodies are trapped, but the mind is not
Please don't take this message lightly from my heart
Because what I am used to
We stronger as one
Say goodbye to mind-control
The Revolution Has Begun
GO
