lyrics
Sacrifice for ages, family priority
Compromise abundant, my wants the minority
Secure the foundation, let my Queen fly high
Make these kids put their aim for the sky
I vow to do my best until the day that I die
And every single fiber of my Being will abide
Accomplish the mission, face hard decisions
Life will attack like daggers, make incisions
Twist the blade, feel the pain, adapt with precision
Haters will arrive just in time for provisions
Pull the plates, make em starve, force the collision
Rebellion is imminent, yeah, we see through the prison
Walking on the edge looking down off the ridges
The moments I survive leave most people cringing
Let the pain rain, I’m a glutton for some tragedy
Let the drama bring all the moments filed as travesty
Love trumps hate,
Yeah we stay divided, yes confusion is our state
Lost inside ourselves too consumed to relate
Too emotional to see that love trumps hate
Love trumps hate,
Yeah we stay divided, yes confusion is our state
Lost inside ourselves too consumed to relate
Too emotional to see that love trumps hate
You will see me smiling even though I might be faking it
Apologize for being rude but the hits I’m taking them
Watch the ego crumble, trauma keeps me humble
Shockwaves from my deepest pain, cringe as I fumble
Nowhere near perfect but unmatched with my hustle
Flex my endurance, stretch the seventh inning muscles
Down for anything, different pieces of the puzzle
And watch what I say before they put me in a muzzle
Suffocated our senses, numb us to the core
Nothing but a number, let em watch and keep score
Promise us some change, sprinkle in some hope
Mislead us with a frenzy then study how we cope
Rats in a race running circles in a maze
Losing our sanity trying to keep the pace
Lost in our vanity, thinking we the shit
The crash of self-esteem when our ego takes a hit
Love trumps hate,
Yeah we stay divided, yes confusion is our state
Lost inside ourselves too consumed to relate
Too emotional to see that love trumps hate
Love trumps hate,
Yeah we stay divided, yes confusion is our state
Lost inside ourselves too consumed to relate
Too emotional to see that love trumps hate
From the left to the right, from the left to the right
It’s an all out war but they stuck on the same side
Fighting for a power that is hidden from our eyes
Create enough hate and martial law will reside
The devil feels empowered, watch him take course
Funding both sides but can’t trace it to the source
Clever little bugger, entertain the masses
Underestimate then watch them wipe out the classless
Oh that’s me, oh that’s us
They still want us sitting in the back of the bus
Fighting for the rights of the lowest in the game
Fighting like we’re different when we’re all just the same
Out of mama’s womb and back into the ashes
All that we are is simply moments and flashes
I suggest you find a way to get in tune with passions
Before it’s too late and the world starts to clashing
Love trumps hate,
Yeah we stay divided, yes confusion is our state
Lost inside ourselves too consumed to relate
Too emotional to see that love trumps hate
Love trumps hate,
Yeah we stay divided, yes confusion is our state
Lost inside ourselves too consumed to relate
Too emotional to see that love trumps hate
