NightMerica

I got sold a dream, and woke up with a nightmare
 Call Dr. King, and tell him it ain't right here
 They don't want no peace, wantin' us to fight, here
 Ah, yeah, it's quite clear, yuh
 I don't see races, I'm color blind
 And I don't speak racist, I'm color mime
 How come when we babies, our color fine?
 But, somewhere along the way, man, we done lost our mind
 I don't understand these technicalities
 And, what exactly makes someone a special nationality
 Take me, for example, you see, technically, I'm white
 But let me get my summer tan on, you can't see that boy at night, right?
 And please don't think I'm playin', 'cause I'm serious
 I just play it off with sarcasm, 'cause I'm furious
 Come on, ya'll, what year is this?
 How long we been hearin' this?
 Bickerin' 'bout pigment, man, I swear we sound so ignorant
 Actually, we ignent, hatin' over pigment
 As if anybody ever got to choose they pigment
 And, if that ain't bad enough, we gonna teach our kids this
 So generation after generation just relives this nightmare
 'Cause, I got sold a dream, and woke up with a nightmare
 Call Dr. King, and tell him it ain't right here
 They don't want no peace, they wantin' us to fight, here
 Ah, yeah, it's quite clear, but oh-oh, no
 I ain't gon' hate, he saw love
 I ain't gon' hate, he saw love
 I ain't gon' hate
 I ain't gon' hate
 I ain't gon' hate, oh-oh, no
 He saw love
 Yeah, love
 Uh, he saw love
 But that what they want us to know, no
 That ain't what they want us to see
 They want when I see you, and you see me, we see enemies
 You got yo' gun, I got my gun, and now we both thinkin' squeeze
 They want us runnin' through these streets, just terrified of police, no peace
 They rather white and blacks hate each other
 Fight and act like some type of maniac
 But I refuse, I refuse
 I won't fall into that trap
 Nah, I'm seein' shade through that
 'Cause, if that's how we all react
 Then we all lose, we all lose
 Crushin' us, throwin' fuel on the fire with they lies and agendas
 Strength in numbers,so they want us all divide
 And I'm so tired of Facebook dissin'
 You so tough, then face the system
 Let's change our thinkin', 'til we 'rase this
 Let's go
 'Cause, I got sold a dream, and woke up with a nightmare
 Call Dr. King, and tell him it ain't right here
 They don't want no peace, wantin' us to fight, here
 Ah, yeah, it's quite clear, but oh-oh, no
 I ain't gon' hate, he saw love
 I ain't gon' hate, he saw love
 I ain't gon' hate
 I ain't gon' hate
 I ain't gon' hate, oh-oh, no
 I got got sold a dream
 Someone call Dr. King
 They don't want no peace
 Ah, yeah, it's quite clear, but oh-oh, no
 He saw love
 Man
 How long we gon' keep trippin' over this?
 The same obstacle, the same hurdle, the same issue, man
 Damn, unh
 Yo' skin is black, my skin is white, nah
 We can't unite, we gon' fight
 Oh, that's right
 Yo' skin is white, my skin black
 So miss me with yo' dafts, we s'posed to scrap
 L-L-L Lord have mercy, controversy
 E'rybody talkin' 'bout what's in my verses
 And I don't even understand what I did wrong
 'Cause, I just live my life, write it down, and put it to song
 Way I see it, I done kept quiet way too long
 'Cause, I done been had these feelings, now they way too strong
 So I speak truth and love, 'til the hate is gone
 Until the truth above comes down to take me home, gone
