Amazing Story

Broken promises
I'm a try try to treat you better
Well better than Amistad
Jim crow laws is gone but there's an underline
It's right under the word nigga
It's under mine
I got a sweet tooth and a nose for that bull shit
Cause when he shoots he unloads us with a full clip
It's like a slap in the face or a cool whip
Across the back until you act right now fool sit
They told you that you one third of a real man
But the truth is you no thirds of the real plan
See if you don't understand what you consuming
They gone feed your mind shit till you assume it's
For your benefit but ignorance is no excuse
You're not innocent if you're accepting your abuse
It's Stockholm syndrome we must be dumb
Cause we sitting by the table still begging them for crumbs man

This is our amazing story
All we feel is pain the more we
Try to get a place but lord we
We just want our piece of the pie
As we reach for the sky
This is our amazing story
All we feel is pain the more we
Try to get a place but lord we
We just want our piece of the pie
As we reach for the sky

Simple times bread simple minds
Writing simple rhymes with simple lines
But what does it symbolize
How easily we're influenced by the dollar sign
Thought we had it figured out but all this time
There was a hatred brewing deep within the matrix huh
And we was just too turned around for us to face it huh
Get over it the country isn't racist dude
Why their knee is on your neck till your face is blue
These deaths so close to home I can taste a few
Taste their blood in my mouth
I can taste abuse
Like we're the only ones running but the race is through
Playing catch up got you messed up I'm not chasing you
What's the point of running don't know where we going man
I'm disappointed that we still ain't really growing man
Blinded by the lies of your owners navigating through this white storm
And don't know where it's snowing man yes

This is our amazing story
All we feel is pain the more we
Try to get a place but lord we
We just want our piece of the pie
As we reach for the sky
This is our amazing story
All we feel is pain the more we
Try to get a place but lord we
We just want our piece of the pie
As we reach for the sky

So now what the protest seems hopeless
They call us terrorist when we protest but don't stress
We don't know weather to vote more or vote less
But don't rest cause the policies and hypocrisy is grotesque
Ignorance is scaling walls like it's spider man
But they don't condemn it till the capitols on fire man
Left is right and right is right I'm just tired man
How did a fool make this country so divided man
See the truth is it's been this way the whole time
And the proof is us waiting in this long line
My brain is cross training takes a strong mind
To understand the length of a long time
Cause 100 years ago we would all died
For doing what they just did and now it's all right
Salute my young people red black and white
Who didn't fully understand but knew they had to fight

This is our amazing story
All we feel is pain the more we
Try to get a place but lord we
We just want our piece of the pie
As we reach for the sky
This is our amazing story
All we feel is pain the more we
Try to get a place but lord we
We just want our piece of the pie
As we reach for the sky
