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 genocide
 When we killed all the natives and steal their tribes
 And the time we denied the 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
 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
 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
 The president don't give a fuck about us
 The government don't give a fuck either
 They talkin' make America great again
 I just wanna save 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
 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
