Secrets on the Wall
Artificial
Superficial
Fake
Hate
We suppose to stand together
But instead there's just gates
Torn
Born
Death
Horns
We create them early just so
We can kill em while they young
White
Black
Yellow
Blue
Crying for help but even
The cops can't help you
Teaching the kids a false dream of white pick it fences
And money off of green trees
The great America the hard America
Hopes and dreams ripped apart by
A reality, a fear, and a pressure America
Just to have a ocean rip into the mind of lil Nesha with the greatest performance cancelled by the reality of
Lil Sasha a future scientist who was gonna discover new things until she got the effect of the poison
And woke to a bottle on her left, a needle on her right, and a baby girl sleep on the floor never to wake to the dawn of
lil Tori the bravest of them all
Well that is until Mr. Right knocked the fear into her, her head, her back and the wall.
The wall yeah the wall
mirror mirror on the wall tell me all the secrets creeping throw the walls
Tell me that my daddy gonna come home
And that the man across the street won't hurt his wife no more
Tell me that lil Jacob it's gonna go to college
And momma not gonna cry anymore
Tell me that someone it gonna save us from
The
Hate
The
Death
The
Blue
The
Reality
The
Pure pressure
The
Fear
And just one more thing
The same thing the Christians in the seem just hope to see
tell me that person is gonna be my one and only king
