Middle Ground

Yeah, yeah
Now I remember why I escaped and let the vices take over
Because the news gave me the blues it's like my life's a hangover
That never gets better in fact it's getting worse by the daily
Chain smoking, toking weed cause this shit hurts it's so crazy
Regardless what I do
It don't take the pain away I'm just running faster
And I still don't know what it is that I'm running after
But I'm still chasing it while I'm facing spliffs
I wish the cops were color blind cause I hate this shit
If they couldn't see the pigment would this shit be fiction
And if I never tried a vice would I be still addicted
Cause I be lifted just to balance out the lowest lows
I know I'm gifted with the writtens it just goes to show
That I need to speak up more
I'm tryna do it with the music
The plan is to use it to influence and start a movement
Of some like-minded people that know we equal it's not hard to see
Do it for the love of the culture cause it's a part of me
And it's not hard to see
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Why do we dwell on things we can't change
Hide by ourselves the things we can't change
Time it'll tell if we can change
But I don't know if we can change, yeah

I can't change on this campaign
Electing the wrong one
It's mismatched, don't get that
Neglecting the wrong done
It's fucked up, but tough luck
Cause this is how it goes now
I don't wanna be a part if this is how it goes down
I just want somebody well-spoken back
I'm hoping that ain't too much to ask
Gotta keep the mask smoking out with too much of gas
Bringing tears to my eyes
As I watch the demise I despise
But then I rise to the occasion
Blazing paths, haze and gas
That they told me not to use
Mines illegal, yours is lethal, and I still ain't got a clue
As to how things got this way, so I stop and pray
Been through a lot today, a lot to say, so I'ma get right to it
Vent through music, right now it's like the perfect time
And I'm still coming up with words, although it hurts to rhyme
It hurts to find that your role models don't share your views
And then you realize there's no one else to compare you to
I know some shitty people on the left and on the right side
If you can't adapt you getting left I'm in my right mind
Cause I don't fuck with the divide that it's created
I know there's middle ground but it's slowly getting faded
Like why can't we agree that everybody should be equal
I know that God's looking down
And He's sad that all these people
Can't agree on the simple things
So how we gonna go from here
We need to find the peace at least and then the coast is clear
I know that hope is near
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Why do we dwell on things we can't change
Hide by ourselves the things we can't change
Time it'll tell if we can change
And now I know that we can change

Focus on my words, said I know that it hurts
Believe that when it's all over we will not end in a hearse
Promise to uplift this curse, you know the Babylon curse
The one deceitful, no one equal, yeah they holding our purse
In hopes that they would reverse the different way we converse
But know that nothing is worse, we need to come back to Earth
Yeah, yeah
We all deserve
We all are worthy
But who you serve could do you dirty
Said I don't know how else to show my heart it grows
I let it go, I let it go
I let it go

Why do we dwell on things we can't change
Hide by ourselves the things we can't change
Time will tell if we can change
Said I know that we can change, babe
Yeah, that we can change, babe
Oh, that we can change
That we can change
That we can change
I know that we can change
