Peace Around the Corner

So, they Say that times have changed yet for me they stay the same Watching this rerun back to back another who's black get killed and slain Whether a shot to the brain or a knee to the neck it's continuous pain And they often tell you to stay in your place, how do you keep from goin insane It's unfair They don't want none of us spared and so they try us When hatred is in the air, you thinking I'm scared of a virus Our death is live on prime time and you rather be quiet and eyeless Or maybe you're in the White House and you're thinking of ways to divide us You can hear it in the crowd, you can see it on the streets And my way to deal with it all's to vent on these beats A long time coming, the wicked is witnessing retribution If you thinking your bubble is crumbling now, just wait until it's revolution Too many of us beat and battered We just wanna be heard, wanna be equal, wanting to matter No tellin' what happens after, but all I know is that someday Somehow, some way, I see peace around the corner Hope I see peace around the corner Hope I see peace around the corner Hope I see peace around the corner Hope I see peace around the corner Enough of the banter, addressing these issues in all of my stanzas Ain't got all the answers, still ain't no swaying away from my stances To a prejudice mind, my kind don't fit societal standards And to know that my young'ns will go through the same, this world I don't understand it The line has been drawn, no towing the balance beam It's either we side by side or you're for my demise no in between But now it's becoming apparent that they only look up to us when we lynched 'Cause Lady Liberty's beautiful but her core is a heartless (whoa) Everyday I'm a target, can't even walk in my own streets I feel like Pac, I see no change, but can I get a little peace You hate us but you hate yourself more this we know to be true But we all gonna suffer the same fate better pray that you make it through, 2's Too many of us beat and battered We just wanna be heard, wanna be equal, wanting to matter No tellin' what happens after, but all I know is that someday Somehow, some way, I see peace around the corner Hope I see peace around the corner Hope I see peace around the corner Hope I see peace around the corner Hope I see peace around the corner
