Hip hop died, it's full of guys who cannot even rap (facts)
Media dividing us by colors, white or black (facts)
If you believe in Jesus, these days Christians get attacked (facts)
If you don't hate police then everybody thinks you're wack
And everything's so connected
Black Lives Matter got so aggressive
White folks who agree can't support the message
Both sides go to war 'cause they don't respect it
Our social climate from the global tension
Turned to total violence and a whole depression
We could unify and then all go against them
But we let 'em divide us with votes and elections
(Ay) the music we bump
All about shooting guns and doing drugs
(Ay, whoa) the things that we want
Are promoted subliminally through the songs like
You need a fast car, you need designer clothes
You need a rap star
To tell you to start popping pills
Hit the blunt and go live at the club till you're broke
It's all controlled by the elites
Pull fake news all over our screens
Convincing the right to go fight with the left
And distract from the fact it's each other we need, uh
Divided by race and religion
Segregated into teams, uh
You're a white supremacists
If you're not, I guess you ANTIFA
Screaming from the rooftops, beatdown, battered
Turned us on each other, now no lives matter
If we do what the news wants, blood gon' splatter
Turn us on each other till no lives matter
Freedom's dead, if you have an opinion, take it back (facts)
People hate the president, if you don't then you trash (facts)
Indoctrinate the nation using news and mainstream rap (facts)
The government abuses us, it's all part of the plan
And it's so confusing
Black Lives Matter is a valuable movement
But all lives matter, ain't racist or stupid
It's non black humans who don't feel included
All colors fall under laws that govern
The whole country and we all suffer
We're all broke and nobody recovers
Until we accept that we're all brothers
(Ay) the music we make
All about big booties and getting paid
(Ay, whoa) we watch the news
And it fills up our brains
With violence, and riots, and race
Like this is a race war, you need to hate more
Get what you came for
You need some songs about Xanax and violence
So you can escape more
What a vicious cycle we gotta break from
They control the culture, they control the paper
They're indoctrinating a whole generation
Till the patriots start to hate the nation
The music we love make us dumb and addicted
The news that we watch is brainwashing the children
The virus is riots and racist conditions
Ain't problems, they're symptoms of life in this system
Screaming from the rooftops, beatdown, battered
Turned us on each other, now no lives matter
If we do what the news wants, blood gon' splatter
Turn us on each other till no lives matter
The music will make you dumb
The media makes you hate
And they control 'em both
There ain't no escape
They put the world is a state of chaos
Economy crashing and massive layoffs
Black against white or it's left versus right
Divide and conquer and control is the payoff
Screaming from the rooftops, beatdown, battered
Turned us on each other, now no lives matter
If we do what the news wants, blood gon' splatter
Turn us on each other till no lives matter
