peace of mind

Dangerous, unpredictable how these dangers come
This condition it aint sustainable
Need to come together make a change for us
Divided as a race we aint capable
Untied as a force we unbreakable
They say peace is unatainable

Let me tell you why

Priveleged I am, livin in a country where our people give a damn
But the perspective thicken, when I witness the stressin of existin'
Knowing that tommorow aint given

It aint promised to man
It's a rough land, America the land of dreams but thats for show man
Led slugs flying, people dying
Caught up in the wrong place at the wrong timing
Stuck between a two sided gun violence
Unforseeable where the bullet gonna land
Who the real ones fighting
Cus justice for sure aint provided
Big sharks, fish fryin
When a black man dying, corrupted cops go silent
Proceed with a moment of silence
Then continue with the violence

It aint no peace of mind, when someone took a piece of his, a mournin man
Only able to remenisce, about the moments he once lived
About he love he once was able to give
It aint no peace of mind, when someone took a piece of his, a mournin man
Only able to remenisce, about the moments he once lived
About he love he once was able to give

Memorial, red roses, lit candles
But that aint mean the problem has been handled
Its a constant battle, wheres the love when a man
Has to bury his son
Protect him he sworn, but life so fragile lead to wound so sore
Cut so deep imagine your creed wanderin down the street
Cut the wrong corner may he rest in peace
Best believe, this the life many living
Praying to a god and government that aint listen
Another black man convicted
What to do when no justice given
End up in prison
Victim of a fucked up system
Wrong place, wrong race gon raise suspicion
Now he get to see his fam on the occasional visit
Cus the case been closed they made his decision

It aint no peace of mind, when someone took a piece of his, a mournin man
Only able to remenisce, about the moments he once lived
About he love he once was able to give
It aint no peace of mind, when someone took a piece of his, a mournin man
Only able to remenisce, about the moments he once lived
About he love he once was able to give
