A young man died today
What have we to show?
A country split in two
A left wing and a joke
What remains when we tear away the mask?
Who will be around to face the coming task?
Never someone I knew
Hardly show up on time
To the party yes we the tardiest
Never good at chronology
I measure time in memories
Where were you when the towers fell?
I was 7
Sitting at home
Aunty bust through the door in a frenzy
Face in horror shocked
Yelling at moms in the kitchen
I pretend I wasn't listening but still paying attention
Life is a gift and if God wills it, live it
Inshallah we don't face the world with a stigma
Where were you when you first held a gun?
I was 5
Playing hide and seek in my parents room
Went under the bed the perfect spot for me to hide
Dark brown mahogany handle on my hand like camouflage
Where were you when Michael Died?
I was 15
The singer I idolized
Immortalized in my mind
Living with my cousins In a foreign land
Sitting in living rooms wishing
My spin move could hang
My nose used to look like his
Maybe gods a magician and we'd look like twins
Maybe one day, I'm taking off the run way
Floating with the Sun rays around
Though my tongue weighs me down
My mind roaming cuz I'm fly homie
In and out of states I done spent too much time zoning
I try to look up to skies with my eyes open
But I'm blindfolded by the lies that they all told me
Goddamn
It was someone I knew
But he died for me and you
How much longer till we're through
How much longer till we're
How much longer till we're
How much longer till we're through
Far from Religious
Close to his intuition
Praying for forgiveness from the patron saint of sinners
Left hand on the scripture
Right hand to the heavens
This vision was God giving
It's worked on in the shadows
We the 04 Pistons
No stars just winners (winners)
No TayShaun's just princes
Kings
Cuz Legacy builds bridges
Tryna be the best man I can, can you Taye Digg it?
Not a pawn in no military state prison
Paid off piglets
Treat men like villains that's based off pigment
Gotta be kidding
Aww man we on war times
Sometimes I ask myself
Am I an artist or an archive of hard times?
Seen life long ties
Split apart like apartheid
Fuck outta hear
Got me wondering where the light
Ain't no light at the
Ain't no light at the
Nah
Fuck a light at the end of the tunnel homie I am the light
Exposing tarnishing promise
You really ain't half as bright
Me and homie ain't nann alike
No more vigils by candlelight
See em slipping banana like
Mission splitting banana like
They been tricking us all our life
And I'm moving to get it right...
We're through
(It was someone I knew
But he died for me and you
How much longer till we're through
How much longer till we're
How much longer till we're
How much longer till we're through)
