Phillip Peterson - See The End lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm in the lobby about to make a scene I've got questions I need answers Politicians on the TV screen Might as well be holograms 'cuz I ain't seen them in the streets Never heard them speakers weep We ain't had a voice 'til we found a beat I could smoke a pound of weed And still not be high enough For them to hear me out What is that about, huh? Obama let me down So I'm cashin' out They all the same when they in the house Question now Who they workin' for They ain't reppin' us Kanye was right when he ever spoke they didn't gave a f** So here I am Nothing more than a man Nothing less than the rest But still I hope for a chance I know the future is cold I know the present is tense I know the dollar run the world I'm just trying to make sense[cents] Yeah [Hook: Otieno Terry] If I open my eyes again, will I see the end? Will I fall again? And if they come for my life again, will they see the end? Or will I fall again? [Verse 2] Whatchu gon' do when the whole world gone crazy? Like right now when police are shooting at babies? Not yet grown, still get popped in the dome First they see you foreclose Now they robbing your home, whoa Redlining is illegal Pay order is illegal But gentrifying is the latest thing they buying And all you hear are major label artists on the radio I ain't hating though, I'm just saying though What are you saying when you singing on the microphone? People listen yo That's whatchu' famous for Turning dollars into change we can save the globe But most times we don't We just smoke up and fall back and stay safe at home Tune out go numb While they pull out they guns Tears fill my lungs while the streets fill with blood [Bridge: Otieno Terry ] Look at these flames All the fire from your cannon make it hard for me to see another way I ain't running I ain't ducking but I'm damn sure ain't staying in the blast no I'm a king and my queen need a brother who can keep her out the grave Whole world gone crazy Whole world gone crazy [Hook: Otieno Terry] If I open my eyes again, will I see the end? Will I fall again? And if they come for my life again, will they see the end? Or will I fall again? [Verse 3] Dash-cam footage seeing bodies dropping Twitter timeline got us all talking Are we the generation who's gonna do something? That's an honest question See my nephew playing with guns make-believing and such Had to tell him about Tamir Rice and take away the fun Now he resents the fact that he's black Says he wishes he was light skinned like I am Self-hate, stereotypes, make the narrowest minds They've been handing us lies since the beginning of time Displacing the kings, raping the queens so they could break up the dream I tell my story the [?bot?] is a one of a kind Port-au-Prince in my heart, Holocaust on my mind I write a rhyme I could fly some of these artists are gods I ain't dismissing your problems I know they've never been mine Never walked in your shoes ain't gonna stop walking in mine There's a problem with hip hop polarizing our thoughts You mean to say I ain't real because I got positive vibes? You mean to say he can't perform cause he caught up a charge People judging like a competition, gimmicks like a politician City segregated, music venues, no exception You know the message, that's unless you never listen Microphone checking when I hold my weapon I know everything I do is a blessing From the water that I drink to the food I'm digesting I've seen people dying fighting just to find some peace It's ironic thinking violence to get us where we need by any means Sometimes it does, sometimes you can't just run you stand up My momma raised me a man, my father raised me a leader the world made me a rapper stumping in my Adidas I don't need a plaque, I don't need a mil' I just need to eat, I just need to feel like I'm speaking my real Or I might explode, my mind might just go I've seen too much pain did not change the globe Yeah If I don't see the end, I pray you hear me now, I pray you understand This is more than me, I never wanted to be anything more than you I just want to be part of the peace [Hook: Otieno Terry] If I open my eyes again, will I see the end? Will I fall again? And if they come for my life again, will they see the end? Or will I fall again?
