One Way

Verse 1:

Crawling out that tunnel emerging in the jungle

Got a black uncle families merging we can't crumble

As people we have a thing for putting each other down

Crushing dreams riots all over small towns

We can't stand together division is universal

Maybe If Martin wasn't on that stretcher shit would be more peaceful

Maybe if Trayvon didn't feel the pressure we all wouldn't feel so fearful

Together we got to stand up as people

Build our way up and realize were all equal

To be truthful for my culture i'm truly grateful

Mixed breed my structure is blissful

If I could choose a color of my skin, i'd choose grey

If my cousins grandad wasn't lynched it would be a different day

Yet we are still unconvinced that's why we don't pray

Walls break like Berlin hearts strum like Violin's

All I see is your personality with no loose ends

Maybe that's why I keep a circle of a few close friends

 

Verse 2:

When it comes to racism I don't know where to begin

We all play the victim based off the color of our skin

When we could just shake hands until the hate dies

Or would it be a mistake? Start another crusade?

Another man's culture we try not to invade

Man rather than call a white man white

Call him by his people

Rather than call a black man black

Realize were all equal

With my words I try to persuade, this nation of millions

Not dissing the foundation just talking to the children

Whether your brazilian or italian

Take a minute to realize were all brilliant

Look at MLK, same with Nelson

Loosen the tension just feel the true connection

Were all one in god's world

So don't be afraid to get with a different girl

This separation is absurd all started by one word

R A C E the labels undeserved

yea ya heard?
