Hands Up

In a world where they yelling out I can't breathe
It's getting jailed if you so happen to plant trees
Corruption of power for cutting a flower
These cops are sweet till' they start to smell something that's sour
That's shady business
I've lately witnessed turn of events
Revolution and repent and it's one hundred percent
It's the lack of indictment that catapults the excitement
It's mass media controlling everything when they're writing
Its the O zone, Pollution, global distribution
Monopolies with properties from Hong Kong to Houston
Philosophies and textbooks, policies and ex crooks
Million dollar contracts for whoever's got the best looks
Suicide, robbery
Banks and the economy
Ninety percent marketing, ten percent honesty
Property for the rich and poverty for the homeless
Welcome to the country where the oil rigs are dome-less

Yo it's LA, New York, Minnappolis, Boston
New Haven to Miami, Cincinnati back to Austin
Philly, Pittsburgh, Detroit and Chi-town
Protests on court steps, hands up or lie down

Yo it's gasoline prices, catastrophes and war
Stocks, crack rock, the cash under the floor
It's the hustle, it's the grind, It's the puzzle it's divine
the inner peace on my side, the trouble up on my mind
It's the dry vapors, the skyscrapers with tips
Court rooms with sly mayors always taking the fifth
It's regulated, it's minors medicated with scripts
Facebook, instagram, twitter, hashtag faded as shit
It's a revolving door, nothing but a problem more
A mathematical formula that we'll solve for sure
You see it's rap songs and politics
Fat bongs with hollow slits
People blowing up my phone with can I get a follow... shit
It's society, it's the high we breathe
It's republicans and democrats and it's the irony
Except there's cameras in the sky so tell me who do you see?

It's my friends and my family, It's the fans you see
It's the grams of weed, it's a living breathing fantasy
It's injecting minds with selective rhymes to connect the lines
It's propaganda, its media better check the times
Its evolution of man
It's learning how to not complain about the stew in the pan
It's combustion and fog when I reappear in the mirror
It's adjusting the volume knob so your mom can hear me clearer
Yo it's religion and sin and its confession
It's a popularity contest in which everybody's obsessing
Investing time and money, its a quest to find the honey
It's a steel cage death-match to see who's really blind and hungry
It's controversy, drugs, prostitution and cops
It's understanding nowadays the constitution is shot
So whatcha say, are you with me revolution or not
Throw your hands into the air if you refusing to stop
