Loading...

intro:

death before dishonor
there’s no honor
in this death
we’re hunted
that’s why so many stay blunted
not many ways
we can deal with the stress

when i uprooted my life
made it more appealing
morning i be reborn
to be dead by the evening

steady emasculated
can’t imagine the hatred
and the weapons you came with

to make a
history of violence
we only found
misery silence

i gotta speak up
turn that chin and cheek up
these wounds are deep cuts
no more that’s enough

chorus:

all eyes on me
black man in america
will i try and make peace
or return fire
and tear it up? x2

verse 1:

that’s what they asking
we tried asking
for a slice of that pie
now we die fasting

really dying out
the well’s drying out
and we’re hungry
won’t be happy
til we inside ya house

pardon
the incendiary comments
life is incendiary
scary to be honest
cemetery seems less scary
or even harmless
compared to your pipeline
keystone school to prison

wasn’t in my my right mind
to ever think you’d listen
i just wanted heal
this whole time
400 years
we just wanted to heal

and i will
with or without you

wonderer what’ll look like
when the meek inherit earth
you’re about to

bring pon dey revolution
you gave us the how to
the manual on the ground rules

pre chorus:

if al qaeda shoots, we shoot back
if the taliban shoot we shoot back
if isis shoots we shoot back
but of you shoot
we supposed to take it x2

chorus:

all eyes on me
black man in america
will i try and make peace?
or return fire
and tear it up x2

verse 2:

here’s the theme
common motif
for every one in the white house
millions dead in the street
if i turn lights out
would you be willing to speak?
if we couldn’t see
are you then able to speak

you can’t fight fire with fire
but either way we get burned
eugenics, death and destruction
feeling our ancestors
all bled for nothing

so old self rest peace
i ain’t going back
to that life
not in the least

i’m trying
be more present
i’m tired of not trying
i don’t got time
every second
an eternity loose
time left on this lease

can’t waste another minute
i can taste the lies
you invited as spew ’em
out of your mouth piece
i’m blessed beyond vengeance

pre chorus:

if al qeada shoots, we shoot back
if the taliban shoot we shoot back
if isis shoots we shoot back
but of you shoot
we supposed to take it x2

chorus
all eyes on me
black man in america
will i try and make peace
or return fire
and tear it up? x2

bridge:

i might be a convict
that don’t mean i lack
conviction
or i’m another victim
there’s bigger
schemes at work
gotta look at the root
not only the fruit
of lynched men

i used to be pacifist
but i’m feeling like i’m past this sh-t
i didn’t ask for this
this is the world that you gave me

chorus:

all eyes on me
black man in america
will i try and make peace?
or return fire
and tear it up x3
