Split-P-Datruth - Until I'm Gone

I'm trying to read between the lines of what is
Right what is wrong, what is wrong
I'm dying to see the world with eyes I never used until I am gone, until I am gone
I'm like a bird with broken wings trying to fly
Victimized by pain grief and misery
Enemies crooked cops and want-a-bees
Playing field unbalanced but yet it's so real
Being blacks another crime can you picture that
Dark nights dark times and dark days
In slaved by society no chains
And they wonder why I feel this way
Gun us down execute us in the streets
All for trying to live life and breathe free
I wonder what would it take
To make the world change
Tired of praying for peace
I need a better way
Maybe Malcolm had it right
Let's make them pay
I ain't talking dollars and cents
You comprehend
Is it wrong living this life in sin
Tell me when will all this foolishness end
I'm trying to read between the lines of what is
Right what is wrong, what is wrong
I'm dying to see the world with eyes I never used until I am gone, until I am gone
A lot of times we don't realize the part we play In shaping this world and our environments
Around us we live in a country where racism
And discrimination was the foundation of this
Nation land of the free home of the brave haha
Never was meant for me I hope we all stand up
And choose to be better if not for ourselves for
Our children children's cause when we're gone
We're gone but for now this is home
I can't imagine that anyone would want to live
Life in poverty in fear of being shot rapped or even killed
All I'm asking for is
Equal rights justice for us all not to be judged
By the color of our skin but the contents of our
Character were all born into this world with
Hopes and dreams to be better
To do better than yesterday I hope and pray
Take us hone
I'm trying to read between the lines of what is
Right what is wrong, what is wrong
I'm dying to see the world with eyes I never used until I am gone, until I am gone
I'm trying to read between the lines of what is
Right what is wrong, what is wrong
I'm dying to see the world with eyes I never used until I am gone, until I am gone
I'm trying to read between the lines of what is
Right what is wrong, what is wrong
I'm dying to see the world with eyes I never used until I am gone, until I am gone
