Concepts - Language Barriers

I can see you on the other side
Through the glass tryna read my mind
Shaping hands but I don’t know the signs
We might understand if we really try
I can see you on the other side
Through the glass tryna read my mind
Shaping hands but I don’t know the signs
We must overcome what words divide
Envy built up around me, hard to see through the window
Racism alive though, fought for freedom like (D)Jango
Unchained though, no chains bro
God did it, truth and no fable
I pick up my Cain and I’m Able
To reign, not a slave to your labels
And I’m glowin', yea
Made in the image of God
Not hearing me when I speak?
Making me feel flawed
Cuz it takes patience, but be gracious
And add to the conversation, being silent is complacent
This generation needs agents man
They tell me, pull myself up by my bootstraps
But it’s hard to do when you lack boots bruh… feel me?
You shout from the top of your lungs
But its sounds like you clanging some drums
Start from the top… No speaka no englay
We need to relax like some Bengay
Whether you straight or you been gay
Whether you rich or you poor
Tired of wars, stop hate at the door
Be sure to say hello to love like bonjour
Speak to attack, and we overreact
And it's wack that we build up this plaque and it stacks and it stacks and it stacks
And I need it to crack
So I bring out my ax, yet I bring out the cross
Cross over barriers, now a truth carrier
Slow to speak, so I don’t need to get angrier
God loves the sinner but hates the sin
Gotta speak truth in love and we win
The biggest communication problem is we do not listen to understand, we listen to reply
I can see you on the other side
Through the glass tryna read my mind
Shaping hands but I don’t know the signs
We might understand if we really try
I can see you on the other side
Through the glass tryna read my mind
Shaping hands but I don’t know the signs
We must overcome what words divide
Break it down like a fraction, must express love with actions
Humble interaction don’t mess around and you fail to gain traction
Plead confessions like Usher, don’t judge a book by its cover
Love your neighbor as yourself, extend a hand bruh no matter the color
No matter the race, no matter face, no matter religion
If we’re Christian just plant the seed, God will water and grow it in any condition
Build bridges not walls, don’t let the hate crawl
Let love be the draw, the greatest of all, we bridging the gap, He won’t let you fall
I can see you on the other side
Through the glass tryna read my mind
Shaping hands but I don’t know the signs
We might understand if we really try
I can see you on the other side
Through the glass tryna read my mind
Shaping hands but I don’t know the signs
We must overcome what words divide
