Love Is Gone

It's hard to sleep these days
 The sounds of all the screams keep me awake
 Love is gone, love is gone (Uh, yeah)
 Shit, the world is in flames (Flames)
 We worry 'bout materials and the simplest things (Things)
 When cops are killing people, then they can't take the blame (Blame)
 They get acquitted, then you wonder why all the people rage, stupid
 We all keep praying for peace, praying for progress
 If you live in the Hills or you stay in the projects
 So folks won't listen if they think what I'm saying is conscious
 They'd rather hear me turning up on some simpler topics
 Yeah, so what's my place, am I out of line?
 For speaking on what's going on, and saying what's on my mind
 This shit is fucked up, plus it's happening all the time
 My job, as a rapper is to entertain, we tryna shine
 I'm not no politician, but they listen, somebody informal
 All the kids gotta find out what's really important
 I got a platform and a voice and a stage to perform on
 Music could be a good escape, but outside it's been storming, yeah
 It's hard to sleep these days
 The sounds of all the screams keep me awake
 Love is gone, love is gone
 We bend until we break, stand by and watch us all go up in flames
 Love is gone, love is gone (Yeah, uh)
 As I sit in the studio, guess the thinking is
 If the statement's too crazy, then should I finish this?
 Or if my image is pretty, don't wanna blemish this
 Or ever split up my fans, reduce my relevance
 Pay attention and understand what the premise is
 Everything not gravy, we can't pretend it is
 So I salute YG, fuck the president
 'Cause he a fucking racist supported by white supremacists
 Fuck Donald, go back to just running businesses
 We all wishing somehow we could've prevented this
 Until we all love each other nobody benefits
 Minorities and feminists, trans, gays and immigrants
 The government mix politics and religiousness
 So a man's body's more free than a woman's is?
 The anger is real, the riots are limitless
 And nothing's gonna change 'til we killing off all this ignorance, yeah
 It's hard to sleep these days
 The sounds of all the screams keep me awake
 Love is gone, love is gone
 We bend until we break, stand by and watch us all go up in flames
 Love is gone, love is gone
 Hey, yeah
 Black squares on my timeline
 They're tryna hide the truth and give the bail to these pork rinds
 The proof is in the footage you ignorin', what's online
 Y'all only love a nigga when he ballin' up, courtside
 We crying for justice, how you don't understand the substance
 Black lives matter
 Never said that yours doesn't
 But we fighting for equality and justice for all
 How we pledging to this flag but ain't no justice for all?
 At least for my skin tone
 I tried to roam around my thoughts for peace
 'Cause Trump is killing democracy and freedom of speech
 My people hit the streets for answers, you labeled as threats
 But turned the cheek on kneeling protest
 Kapernick was "black-male'd" for peaceful kneeling protest
 This shit is a joke
 In the streets we march for unity
 But qualified immunity is fucking up communities
 Lack of accountability is fucking up community
 So try to understand before you fuck up my community
 It's hard to sleep these days
 The sounds of all the screams keep me awake
 Love is gone, love is gone
 We bend until we break, stand by and watch us all go up in flames
 Love is gone, love is gone
 Monsters, we've turned into monsters
 How did we get the way we are?
 How did we get the way we are?
 How did we get the way we are?
 Our conscience, we lost it
 How did we get the way we are?
 How did we get the way we are?
 How did we get the way we are?
