It's hard to sleep these days The sounds of all the screams keep me awake Love is gone, love is gone Yeah, ***, the world is in flames We worry about materials and the simplest things When cops are killing people then they can't take the blame They get acquitted then you wonder why all the people rage You stupid? We all keep praying for peace, praying for progress If you live in the hills so you stay in the projects So folks won't listen if they think what I'm saying is conscious They'd rather hear me turning up on some simpler topics Yeah, so what's my place? Am I out of line? For speaking on what's going on and saying what's on my mind This *** is *** up, plus it's happening all the time My job as a rapper's to entertain, we tryna shine I'm not no politician but they listen, somebody inform them All the kids gotta find out what's really important I got a platform and a voice and a stage to perform on Music could be a good escape but outside it's been storming It's hard to sleep these days The sounds of all the screams keep me awake Love is gone, love is gone We bend until we break Stand by and watch us all go up in flames Love is gone, love is gone As I sit in the studio guess the thinking is If this statement's too crazy then should I finish this? Or if my image is pretty don't wanna blemish this Or every split of my fans reduce my relevance Pay attention and understand what the premise is Everything not gravy we can't pretend it is So I salute YG, *** the president cause he a ***ing racist Supported by white supremacists *** Donald, go back to this running businesses We all wishing somehow we could've prevented this Until we all love each other nobody benefits Minorities and feminists, transgays and immigrants The government makes politics and religiousness So a man's body's more free than a woman's is The anger is real, the riots are limitless And nothing's gonna change till we killing off all this ignorance It's hard to sleep these days The sounds of all the screams keep me awake Love is gone, love is gone We bend until we break Stand by and watch us all go up in flames Love is gone, love is gone Black squares on my timeline Y'all tryna hide the truth and give the bell to these pork rhymes The proof is in the footage, you ignoring what's online Y'all only love a nigga when he balling up court side We crying for justice, how you don't understand the substance Black lives matter, never said that yours doesn't But we fighting for equality and justice for all How we pledging to this flag but ain't no justice for all At least for my skin tone I try to roam around my thoughts for peace Cause Trump is killing democracy and freedom of speech My people hit the streets for answers, you label the stress But turn the cheek on nil and protest Capper niggas blackmail for peaceful nil and protest This *** is a joke, in the streets we march for unity But qualified immunity is ***ing up communities Lack of accountability is ***ing up community So try to understand before you *** up my community It's hard to sleep these days The sounds of all the screams keep me awake Love is gone, love is gone And until we break, stand by and watch us all go up in flames Love is gone, love is gone Monsters, we've turned into monsters How did we get the way we are? How did we get the way we are? How did we get the way we are? Our conscience, we lost it How did we get the way we are? How did we get the way we are? How did we get the way we are?
