Gnar Issues

Caught in these ebbs and flows
Dodging these jabs and blows
Left them on sadder notes
Packing bowls while setting goals
Sorry momma
I gotta go, I got to reach my full potential
I know if I died tomorrow, I gave more than earnest efforts
You better slow down get your shit together
Slow down, put hoes down
Hold your tongue, watch your mouth
Fuck that bitch, stand your ground
Nod your head, feel that sound
Come feel welcome, you're allowed
No more crowds closing you out
No rejection for differences in our perspective
No more hoping in men and women who weren't elected
Upset with kindred spirits wishing they'd pay attention and
Come to there fucking senses
I will not partake in the ways they claim
Same change maintaining the same hate
The same cage evoking the same rage
Same motive, same heart, and same stage

Can you relate to the state of my distress
Heart palpitating deep inside my chest
This context is one that we've put ourselves in
Materialism
Unable to listen to those who were driven out their homes and their lands
Now we make high demands
Building empires off of the works of their hands
Give em a small cut, tuck that in your pocket
It will barley cover the rent of your apartment
That's the hardship, we look but lack options
These options we do have are the ones no one wanted
We took their jobs, they say
We took their jobs away
Bust our ass for the day in hopes that we get paid
So brush up on that empathy
Regardless of our differences I will still love my enemies
Identify the common ground while switching up the energy
I do not care if you agree, I abide by red lettering
