What Life Can Be
Even when the sun is out when it rains it pours
Don't judge me by my past I don't live there no more
I pray to God before I walk out the door
The blessings that I get I need a lot more
Circle gettin smaller I don't care no more
For those who left can't come back no more
1 to 2 to the 3 to the 4
You hear the music blasting you can feel it through the floor
I walk around Harlem and I always ask why
Why is there always drama when the cops roll by
George Floyd Breana Taylor they didn't have to die
They our strong angels flying high up in the sky
They killed my cousin Pond I can't believe he gone
The streets did him dirty they really did him wrong
The love for my friends is always stayin strong
The blood of my family is flowing through my arms
I want you to see
What life can be
I just want peace
For you and me
They always say two wrongs don't make a right
What's done in the dark eventually comes to the light
I'm always gettin judged by people I don't like
I guess I'm doing good I'm doing something right
Nip said the highest human act is to inspire
I wanna say I made a difference before I retire
I hope my words would take me higher
Higher then I ever been that's my desire
Be the voice of the people who walked through the fire
We had to pull through and make it through the wire
Imagine if our world wasn't burning in the fire
I wouldn't be dealing with flakes and liars
I'm getting closer to my dreams it feels so far
Don't forget where you came from be proud of who you are
I'm standing in the booth spittin all these bars
I've gone through the battles but do you see the scars
I want you to see
What life can be
I just want peace
For you and me
To my family who stayed by me
I thank you for pushing me
And those who been there for me
I know you'll always stand by me
God I know you watch over me
I thank you for protecting me
To my parents for raising me
You've always been there for me
I want you to see
What life can be
I just want peace
For you and me
I want you to see
What life can be
I just want peace
For you and me
Don't judge me by my past I don't live there no more
I pray to God before I walk out the door
The blessings that I get I need a lot more
Circle gettin smaller I don't care no more
For those who left can't come back no more
1 to 2 to the 3 to the 4
You hear the music blasting you can feel it through the floor
I walk around Harlem and I always ask why
Why is there always drama when the cops roll by

What life can be
I just want peace
For you and me
