On Me & You


Walking around town and you think there's nothing wrong with someone

And thinking everything is perfect and nothing's wrong

But in actuality they're barely holding on 

Everyone tells me that it's not easy

But with them it's not as hard as other people in our country 

Walking out the liquor store the kid get's killed in a drive-by

It was a mistake in identifying that guy

Now seeing wat's happening, witnessing

The people getting killed is the innocent 

Now seeing what god sees in his eyes,

Are you happy with the governments lies

What's happening to this world we live in now?

Everyone is getting killed by the dame background 

Barely holding on to their lives now 

But the one thing I know is true 

We can only count on me and you 

About to take it to the day's of freedom 

Where you could trust your friends 

And you wouldn't need to leave them

Believing your family couldn't turn their backs for no reason 

I just act like everything's fine when actually bleeding 

Down deep inside it's just not right for me to hide my feelings 

You gotta open your eye's and start seeing,

What you mind is telling you is not to start believing 

But right now tell me are you being benevolent 

Starting to see what was right in front of you all the innocents 

The discrimination among all the politicians 

If you show that your benevolent 

Then you're showing your kindness

Don't be racist show compassion for all the good reasons 

Just remember what I'm telling you 

Don't forget what your reading too 

This is what our country's coming to 

Do you hear the cry's of the family's 

All the encountered tragedy's 

Do you hear the cry's of the world yet?

Don't worry just step back and take a breath 

Just grab someone next to you and start being jubilant 

Celebrate the life that you have don't be oblivious 

Showing love isn't hard, simply show you care

And don't lie, just be fare 

And our people won't have no more nightmares 

You can only count on me and you
