mc jin - stop the hatred lyrics

[chorus: wyclef jean]
rain love on me
rain love on me
open up your eyes and finally see

[verse 1: mc jin & wyclef jean]
my grandma passed away at the top of last year (last year)
at the funeral drowning ’cause i couldn’t hold back tears (ooh)
but after all that’s happened this past year
part of me sees grace in the fact that she’s not here
as a grandson, this statement’s a fact
no elderly should ever be victim of such a heinous attack
prey on the weak; only cowards would take advantage of that
no more staying meek, it’s time to take a stand and react (stand and react)
a simple trip to the market, thought the streets were safe
turned targets, i speak up for my people’s sake
from this pandemic, i’m hopeful that we’ll see escape
until then, love’s the only vaccine for hate (vaccine for hate)
now when my folks leave the house, it’s quite the norm (ooh)
my mind’s flooded with thoughts of what might go wrong
truthfully, i wish i didn’t have to write this song
but it’s only right i recite it since this mic is on

[chorus: wyclef jean & mc jin]
what if we went a little bit out of our way to stop the hatred?
(imagine that)
stop the hatred
what if we took a little time out of our day to stop the hatred?
(could it be?)
stop the hatred
rain love on me
[verse 2: wyclef jean]
uhh, he cold like antarctica
it don’t matter if you black and white, says the man in the mirror
the squad’s facing the terror
i’m talking mother, father, sister, brother, grandma, and grandpapa
all doomed ’cause of skin color
paranoid like my mind playing tricks on this ghetto boy
so i gotta scream for my mama like i’m george floyd
now i’m all in linen like john imagining
but he ain’t give peace a chance he took eight lives with him
where the love go still unanswered
politicians, they be flipping gabby douglas
divide so they can conquer then they chain our ancestors
come together like the beatles remastered

[verse 3: mc jin & wyclef jean]
it’s new footage every other day, every bit of it hard to watch
i’m talking to my son, he’s eight—listen to your pops
i said don’t fall for the bait; the actions of a few
don’t reflect the nature of an entire race (entire race)
maybe the past is full of lessons but we missed it
history shows, indeed, tension has existed (ooh)
between the two communities, but here’s a fact
beyond colors, we’re humans, not just yellow or black
like chris rock, i ain’t liberal or conservative inside
i just know the enemy would love to further the divide
media don’t care how the story is told
they’re more concerned with how the story is sold (sold)
preconceived notions make it harder to see
together there’s much power
rush hour, look at carter and lee (carter and lee)
hopefully, through dialogue we’ll start to agree
more light for you doesn’t make the world darker for me
nuh+uh
[chorus: wyclef jean & mc jin]
what if we went a little bit out of our way to stop the hatred?
(imagine that)
stop the hatred
what if we took a little time out of our day to stop the hatred?
(could it be?)
stop the hatred
rain love on me

[outro: wyclef jean]
rain love on me (rain)
rain love on me
open up your eyes and finally see
open up your eyes and finally see
rain love on me (rain love on me)
rain love on me
open up your eyes and finally see

[recording]
i want you to say exactly what’s on your heart right now, say it
stop the hatred
+cheering+
say it one more time, chance
stop the hatred
+cheering+
