We all need to understand each other

We all need to understand each other
Understand we all sisters and brothers
Cause all this shooting, banging, and jailing ain’t working out right
Why is it that we are all living to fight?
When all we should be doing is fighting to live right.
Tell me you’re pain, I’ll hear your struggle
Then I’ll tell you what’s my trouble
I’ll let you know that I feel you
And tell me that you do to
I’ll tell you what it’s like to be brown
And you tell me what’s it like to be black
Cause at the end of the day, both our peoples are the ones most attacked
There are yellow and white people who also suffer
Trust, all we need to do is understand each other
But instead we have a war on drugs, a war on religion, and a war on race
Blackmailing each other just to get ahead of the race
But you too blinded to see we are all in the same shitty ass place
Freedom is a lie. Fools we are ALL slaves in disguise
We need to unite and get out this motherfucker
Instead, we all cheat and steal from one another
Because we are all just the same dumb blinded suckers
Who fail to take the time to truly understand one another
