The Cycle
It's like Mathematics
Everyday a child is being added
But because of our blackness
The police want us subtracted
But we don't die we multiply
In the streets while they try to divide us
But when it comes to black on black crime
We stay silent huh?
How many times do we have to go through this cycle?
How many times do we have to go through this cycle?
How many times do we have to go through this cycle?
How many times do we have to go through this cycle?
How many times do we have to go through this cycle
Cops killing us over nothing that ain't right yo
Because I know, they rather see us die slow
Hate to see us succeed cause we be on the rise yo
You scared of us cause we're filled up with anger
All because you took away the life of a stranger
Can't you see that our lives are in danger?
At the end of the day you know we all blame ya
You wanna kill us and make us feel lifeless
When the proof is shown on every cellular devices
Blast your gun and put our families in crisis
Use a racist judge to set you free, no surprises
The media always switches up the side of the story
Label us thugs and criminals in our category
It's so unlawful to kill us mandatory
That our future kids won't even live up to even see forty
You just gotta be more smarter
Cause losing someone we love it gets harder
You just gotta be more smarter
Cause losing someone we love it gets harder
Stop killing my own, and leave us alone
Stop killing my own, and leave us alone
Stop killing my own, and leave us alone
Stop killing my own, and leave us alone
Stop killing my own... people
And leave us alone, my people
Stop killing my own... people
And leave us alone, my people
How many times do we have to go through this cycle
Blacks kill each other for nothing that ain't right yo
Instead of talking, we rather use our rifles
To start a rival, shoot each other till we demise yo
Choosing to live this fake lifestyle
In the streets to act wild that is so foul
As I'm watching the news, can't even make a smile
Cause you took away a life that was added by a child
From her mother, and now she got a son to carry
I can't even go to the clubs because I'm scared see
I don't wanna be next, I just wanna be blessed
And continue to make real music just to relieve stress
Unlike these rappers in the game they ain't acting right
It's deeper than the stuff they rap about it's sad and why?
You sign a deal and then what, make the sacrifice
To kill the people that you love to the afterlife
We just gotta be more smarter
Cause losing someone we love it gets harder
We just gotta be more smarter
Cause losing someone we love it gets harder
Stop killing your own, and support your own
Stop killing your own, and support your own
Stop killing your own, and support your own
Stop killing your own, and support your own
Stop killing your own... people
And support your own... people
Stop killing your own... people
And support your own... people
How many times do we have to go through this cycle?
How many times do we have to go through this cycle?
How many times do we have to go through this cycle?
