Seems So Bad #Ferguson #EricGarner

lyrics

granted, life has all taught us different lessons
and life has all bestowed on us different blessings
and we have all went our distinct directions
so depending on your status it could seem depressing

so how do we know if we’re truly progressing
or treadmilling, or just stretching
getting warmed up, cuz truth be told
We will be tested like how fire can test the gold

and as far as i know we gon keep getting burnt
until we earn the skill to advance our souls
It's natural... Practically factual
But we can hide from the truth if we're irrational

And it so happens it's hard to do the research
so it's in fashion to wear opinions like t-shirts
Then having an open mind is scary like walking around naked in public,
we'd rather change up the subject ahem....

Those we deem wise wouldn’t propagate lies
nor would they try to advise beyond the promise
those we deem wise would truly recognize the
realistic limits to their own knowledge

but we’re all at different stations with our trains of thought
but we can transfer any time with a change of heart
until we find a common purpose, we will deviate further from each other
we’re already murdering each other, so sad

I say no wonder
it seems so bad
and we gon keep getting burned til we learn from the past

...After they acquitted Darren Wilson
I hear people say they lost faith in the system
now please don’t take offense when I say this then
your faith is sacred, you should never place that in the system

keep it in safe and lock it with the key of trust
that safe goes by the name “power of love”
raise the standard of security to tower above
the lower nature that’s persuading you to give it up

it’s too valuable,
cuz pure faith could make a weak man powerful
….for real…
and true unity
does not finger point, true unity means we’re all accountable

so if we dont know, now we know
America we think we’re smart, yet we act so childish tho
and racism’s like the most great prison
we will not escape this until we break the chains within

I say no wonder
it seems so bad
and we gon keep getting burned til we learn from the past

after all these tragedies now what?
we can’t expect those in pain to keep their mouth shut
i won’t defend looting, and i won’t defend riots
just like i can’t defend the news when they’re super biased

for those that spread love in the face of hate
for those that teach peace when it isn’t safe
and those that stay calm when the world shakes
we need you, please do it, whatever it takes…
