Bombs out in Yemen with arms that we selling
Kids thinking will they make it out alive no telling
Taliban still roaming Sudan still ain't safe
Murder numbers rising higher than inflation rates
Plus it don't matter the bracket they gut you with the taxes
The rich hide in Panama the rest get crumbs and ashes
We never see returns where that money going
Fund another occupation leave a country broken
Now we sending thoughts and prayers but the powers in a dollar
The way they got us working might as well put on a collar
A slave to the trade capital greed
Is it crazy that a human life deserves it's basic needs
It's poison in the Flint faucets bodies fill Somali coffins
Child rebels roam the jungles no smiles lead popping
From the ghettos to the gullies famine in the streets
Everybody chasing bread but not everybody eats
Niggas dying everyday
Out here fighting for survival
But we're forced to make it anyway
So we gotta take it one step at a time, yo
And life may not get easier
These niggas playing in my face
But if we remember this thing we call love
We would be
In a better place
We'd be in a better place
A better place
We'd be in a better place
A better place
We'd be in a better place
A better place
We'd be in a better place
I don't see no time to waste all I see is lies and graves
All I hear is war and terror smoking as the climate change
Everybody got a drug cause the real gon make you numb
Nuisance taking up the news ain't nobody saying much
Masses stuck just getting by opioids to get you high
Media influence envy trap us have us chasing pride
Socials turned us opposite falsifying politics
Went from being we to you vs me and I hate it all of it
Commercialized existence filter every image
The allure of all the riches have us clawing and addicted
The comfort of the same have us fearing what is different
Sometimes the superego make you your biggest villain
Sometimes the closest to you be the first to turn
All I have in this life is my actions and my word
The future looking dim, still I'm working on the matches
Time flies we all floating by tryna catch it
Niggas dying everyday
Out here fighting for survival
But we're forced to make it anyway
So we gotta take it one step at a time, yo
And life may not get easier
These niggas playing in my face
But if we remember this thing we call love
We would be
In a better place
We'd be in a better place
A better place
We'd be in a better place
A better place
We'd be in a better place
A better place
We'd be in a better place
