about

This song was inspired by the death of George Floyd. I had so many emotions after that incident, stemming mostly from the reaction of some people that want to focus more on his past and less on the fact that a man died needlessly. The recent years has shown me a lot about the state of race relations in the world and I want to acknowledge it and be a part of the solution - that is this song in a nutshell

lyrics

Chorus:
I’m always wondering why
Not feeling safe out at night
Can’t go for a jog or chill in the yard
Without someone batting an eye
Why does the hue on my skin?
Incite the hate from within
I wanna live in peace with wife and seed – wanna be free

Verse:
Why am I here – didn’t do shit
Treating me like I’m a nuisance
Ready to shoot but you ain’t got the proof – I’m the next lamb for the movement
I can’t breathe – suffocated
Just because we – different races
If it ends like this, then just make it quick – so I can be liberated
We are the same you and me
It’s the same air that we breathe
born free we’re not enemies explain to me why that you hate me
Let’s conversate for a minute
Please hesitate ‘fore you finish
I’ve got a girl and I’m her world – think about that before you end it

Chorus:
I’m always wondering why
Not feeling safe out at night
Can’t go for a jog or chill in the yard
Without someone batting an eye
Why does the hue on my skin?
Incite the hate from within
I wanna live in peace with wife and seed – wanna be free

Verse:
Home of the brave, land of the free – if you don’t look like me
If you cross the street and you see the police – do you sweat or you feel relief?
Living my life in the shadow – don’t lead – don’t follow
I just exist - I don’t live I want to see tomorrow
Black power – wanna be heard
White power wanna say the N word
Now let that sink in…
Can’t voice opinions
Without someone out there thinking
…Shut up thug and mind your business
This ain’t the world that we deserve – we just wanna be heard
When we got dragged from Africa – we didn’t want to be herd
Teach the children better – so that we can make change forever
Facts. White, red or black let’s all attract love so that we can live together
Unity – how good it can be – we can all be truly free
If we release the need to hate – greedy belief any race has supremacy
It’s no too late – next generation can’t be forgotten
Show them the world can change – because they’re watching

Chorus x2:
I’m always wondering why
Not feeling safe out at night
Can’t go for a jog or chill in the yard
Without someone batting an eye
Why does the hue on my skin?
Incite the hate from within
I wanna live in peace with wife and seed – wanna be free

Bridge
I wanna change the world with you
I wanna feel the way you do
Can we start over here
Understanding truly sincere
I just wanna change the world with you

Chorus x2:
I’m always wondering why
Not feeling safe out at night
Can’t go for a jog or chill in the yard
Without someone batting an eye
Why does the hue on my skin?
Incite the hate from within
I wanna live in peace with wife and seed – wanna be free
