[Hook]
In the Virgo cluster
In the Milky Way
Third rock from a star where my people stay
They call us human, we call ourselves by our color
To eyes from above it seems we murder each other
So futuristic
Why's peace, love, and happiness so futuristic? [x3]
So futuristic, I hope that we could fix it
[Verse 1]
Adam and Eve sitting in the Garden of Eden
God said "Do as you wish, 'cept for that apple - don't eat it
You got all of these here
I swear to me you don't need it
If you do, we'll write a book and make it this sentence; read it
But I created you, wired you
To know you'd always want more
Because, after all, that's what the concept of heaven for
Y'all don't wanna die, gotta have that alternate ending
It's something to look to when you know you ain't been living"
When you hate what you're given but never work to have more
It's easy to trick yourself into thinking there's more
But Earth could be heaven, and you could be God
It's true that you could be the artist, paint the life that you want
Earth's a beautiful canva**, a miracle to behold
Long as you don't get caught up in all the green and the gold
You wait for miracles straight out a book of letters and psalms
Maybe the fact we're even here is the biggest miracle of all
Perfectly distanced from the sun to have light but not burn up
A moon to guide the tide in, give us light 'till the sun-up
Planets on the outer rim to block the cosmic debris
A speck of dust in a sunbeam is really all that we be
Think about that when we talk about the concept of peace
Our fighting and ignorance keeps us far from the key
Over who's God's better, who's really repping the truth
Burning down houses for who lives over the roof

[Verse 2]
In the USA, home of the free and the brave
That's what we were promised but I don't see that today
Screaming "I can't breathe!" Cause we all downing in lies
The Garner tragedy - saw that with our own eyes
Screaming "Film the police!" Instead, the system is f**ed
The people are over it, everyone's had enough
And I've had enough of all this not speaking up
This a serious problem, it ain't an issue to duck
f** what colour I am, speak on it because I'm human
Throw the police the power then we watch them abuse it
We saw the shady ways of the CIA
Grand jury prosecutors treating cop cases the same
When someone dies by another, take it to trial, no questions asked
Cause it seems when we work with each other you'll get a pa**
My heart goes out to every family who's ever been affected
Middle fingers go to every cop who's ever benefitted
[Outro]
I know racism is alive
I see the fires in the people's eyes
I hear the screams of a mother's cries
Let the power stand down, let the people rise
I know racism is alive
Carry bottles, holding onto beer inside
Whether you're red, yellow, blue, brown, black or white
Let us look upon the world with equal eyes
Only then can we equalize
When we start to look through equal eyes
Only then will we equalize
Until then, we're all living equal lies
