lyrics
Verse 1:
You want war & I want peace, but i'll fight you in these streets,
If it means one less mother's gotta cry tonight,
I got hope, but you got guns, and they're pointed at my sons,
So I gotta switch up real quick or I won't survive,
Pre chorus:
we get no justice and we take too much,
You keep pushin til i'm backed up against the wall,
And it's no mistake, every life you take,
The same end you want for me is gonna be your fall (not sure of this line)
Chorus:
Oh lost, how much more can we take, oh lost, til we rise up and say, oh lost,
Too many lost
Oh lost, show respect for my life, oh lost, and we all will survive, oh lost,
Too many lost
Verse 2:
I don't have another cheek, yea yea
I don't have a prayer to speak, yea yea
But I got a promise to keep, yea yea
I wanna call this place my home,
But I don't feel safe alone,
Imagine how that takes a toll
Pre chorus:
we get no justice and we take too much,
You keep pushin til i'm backed up against the wall,
And it's no mistake, every life you take,
The same end you want for me is gonna be your fall (not sure of this line)
Chorus:
Oh lost, how much more can we take, oh lost, til we rise up and say, oh lost,
Too many lost
Oh lost, show respect for my life, oh lost, and we all will survive, oh lost,
Too many lost
Bridge:
I hope you know karma's gon come back around,
And everything you do to us gonna bring you down,
The powers that be all want us to divide,
When we should be standing side by side
Spoken word:
1st John, the next verse is for trayvon, the ether, and I embrace y'all with napalm,
You too can be at home and safe from that bass drum if you look like jake from state farm,
My wallet is in my khaki's, in my back pocket but don't even ask me,
I wouldn't reach for a baton in a track meet, a cop says freeze I see Kanika walk past me,
Don't scare me colonizer, do I die if I fail that breathalizer?
I ask tiger, sandy speaks, I can't breath hands up but don't fire,
Justice for stephon, the only question who's next to be unarmed?
It's all true, we wanted peace, you want war guess what we want war too
Chorus:
Oh lost, how much more can we take, oh lost, til we rise up and say, oh lost,
Too many lost
Oh lost, show respect for my life, oh lost, and we all will survive, oh lost,
Too many lost
