Peace Piece

I tried to take the high road

Let by gones be by gones

I tried to take the high road

But now another life's gone

What you expect from me

To turn the other cheek

All you bring is war, asking me for peace

What you expect from me

When all you bring is greed

All you bring is war, asking me for peace

But now I gotta piece piece piece

But now I gotta piece piece piece

But now I gotta piece piece piece

But now I gotta piece piece piece

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, they say let's make America great again

Except for the slavery and the genocide

When we kill all the native

And steal their tribes

And it's time we denied women's rights

Talkin' 'bout great, like the AIDS outbreak

Like when they brought crack cocaine to the hood

Like when they brought heroin to the states

Look, justice is not on the internet

Equality don't have a twitter account

The last words that a man should ever hear

Should never be "Get on the ground"

Our culture so misunderstood

It's cloudy up over the hood

I think about packing my bags

And leaving this country for good

Glock, Glock in my car for your probable 'cause

'Cause even the law don't follow the law

Guess it's my fault for being black

A country built on my people's backs

Up in first class, yeah my seat is black

Even when I'm bored and I'm tryna see my past

Tell me, if you had a chance

Would you go back in time to see the past

Waitin', waitin', waitin' for reparation

For the end of segregation

All we got is a month and a television station

All they teach is slavery and we celebrate it

They turn the cheek if we should perish, ha

But just remember

You can't spell America without Eric

I tried to take the high road

Let by gones be by gones

I tried to take the high road

But now another life's gone

What you expect from me

To turn the other cheek

All you bring is war, asking me for peace

What you expect from me

When all you bring is greed

All you bring is war, asking me for peace

But now I gotta piece piece piece

But now I gotta piece piece piece

But now I gotta piece piece piece

But now I gotta piece piece piece

Yeah, yeah

By any means necessary

Lately two many mommas out here bearing babies

Really ain't safe 'round here no more

Scared of the law when they head outdoors

And will we ever be at peace, man

I ain't sure

But for now I'm like Malcolm out the window

It's simple altercation

Got these motherfuckers blazin'

And I ain't tryna say bye to my kinfolk

They choke us out

Like what they need a noose for

Gentrify like fuck wherever you go

Prison walls nowadays big biz

Give us dope then lock us up to get riches

Then send us out to a job we can't get

You had that nigga flipped

Now you back in the system

That's a cold game man, aww dog

If there's a God pray she listening(listening)

The president don't give a fuck about us(about us)

The government don't give a fuck either(either)

They talkin' make America great again

I just wanna save my people (my people)

I just want that 40 acres and mule

Another promise didn't fall through

Just a whole lot of propaganda

And lying to me and you

I tried to take the high road

I tried to take the high road(K.R.I.T.)

Let by gones be by gones

I tried to take the high road

But now another life's gone

What you expect from me

To turn the other cheek

All you bring is war, asking me for peace

What you expect from me

When all you bring is greed

All you bring is war, asking me for peace

But now I gotta piece piece piece

But now I gotta piece piece piece

But now I gotta piece piece piece

But now I gotta piece piece piece

Yeah, yeah
