Lamar4ever & Jerry Dodrill - Peace

This right here is more than rhyming on a beat
You know how many of us have died in these streets
Every single one I cried myself to sleep
We're dodging bullets while we're dodging the police
Heart full of hate and my mind is full of grief
My brothers did time their bonds it wasn't cheap
Some of us are barely surviving by the week
So everyday I pray we find a little peace
My nephew getting older I'm passing him the flame
I don't bang I don't bang boy my family is my gang
They're killing our people it's actually insane
Don't react to their foolishness you have to use your brain
We don't need a Trump we don't need a Biden
If I have a kid he or she will be a titan
We can beat the system but together we must fight it
American indebted so of course we get indicted
They kill us in the masses the facts is that they like it
In reality our government is just like isis
He died over a chain, that's a blood diamond
In the hood they were wearing mask way before a virus
This right here is more than rhyming on a beat
You know how many of us have died in these streets
Every single one I cried myself to sleep
We're dodging bullets while we're dodging the police
Heart full of hate and my mind is full of grief
My brothers did time their bonds it wasn't cheap
Some of us are barely surviving by the week
So everyday I pray we find a little peace
I pray for those that live today
And pray for those those who killed today
I pray for all their families
I hope the space not filled with hate
The irony the irony of what I'm bout to say
My partner took a trip to Florida now he mia
They bought us like we're real estate
Sold us for the biggest pay
I never knew our lives would be giveaways
If that didn't paint the picture for you let me illustrate
Tough skin don't mean bullets won't penetrate
This right here the shit I hate
They kill us by the generations
But it don't compare to the money that they generate
This is something they will never emulate
Let me demonstrate
Man I innovate but I will never imitate
This right here is more than rhyming on a beat
You know how many of us have died in these streets
Every single one I cried myself to sleep
We're dodging bullets while we're dodging the police
Heart full of hate and my mind is full of grief
My brothers did time their bonds it wasn't cheap
Some of us are barely surviving by the week
So everyday I pray we find a little peace
I didn't wanna do this but I had to do it
This is not that trapping music
This is that ask god black lives matter music
Whenever y'all need a hit I take the pen and pad and do it
One thing I will not be is a bad influence
This right here our legacy
Hop hop is our specialty
Me and Jerry chemistry is something like telepathy
Presently I am living recklessly
And there is no stopping me
My honesty is gonna be the death of me
