mike dreams - heavy soul lyrics

(verse 1)

they ask me
what’s making my soul heavy
they so heavy
so quick not to pass a levy
for public schools to get more funding
to keep schools open
keep kids wondering
if they headed for destruction
it’s disgusting, they never discuss disparity
they say we all equal
i say barely
what’s equality without equity
sometimes i wonder what is next for me
‘cuz i could die tonight
and they could go and end what’s left of me
my brother to the left of me
got a mental telepathy
thinking the same thing
thinking it won’t change
‘cuz fighting white privilege is the black burden
and all lives matter
is like spraying water on houses not burning
but they don’t wanna hear me
speaking the truth
use propaganda to distract from the proof
that’s why i’m speaking to you
heavy soul
i gotta speak to youth
when they sitting asking
“what can we do?”
i’m like “what can we do?”
(chorus + virgo)

so where do we go from here?
where do we go? where do we go?
so where do we go from here?

+(verse 2 + hypel)

where is this love?
it doesn’t seem to show at all
today, i cried for a shorty i didn’t know at all
what started as a fight
ended in regrets
one spending life upstate
the other one rests
neighborhood ain’t got nothing to say
as if it’s cool things happen this way
clapping guns
serving yay
smokin’. drinkin’, dice games
fights break out
these things happen every day
y’all blame the parents
but you have to understand
it takes a whole village just to raise one man
everybody know the bullet is what got her son done
but don’t n0body ask where these guns come from
cops even worse
sworn to protect and serve, but
they neglect us ‘til it’s time to arrest us
you k!ll a man?
you gettin’ life in prison
but a cop k!ll a man
he get flags and ribbons
heavy soul

(chorus + virgo)

so where do we go from here?
where do we go? where do we go?
so where do we go from here?

(verse 3 + hypel)

in a city full of caskets and b+st+rds
the news tell you who’s bad
all the black kids
where you get your mike’s jacked
‘cuz they covet
gang life will take your strongest
and the cops will take your youngest
now all they want is they mama
show ‘em home
keep ‘em safe
make it like back in the day
where they bruise
she would kiss the pain away
wasn’t taught to be no man
but taught to make a man’s mistakes
from a generation that’s full of hate
full of k!lling, full of rape
elders didn’t educate
food for thought
how you hungry
all that shh+ up on your plate
mama hate you out so late
preacher say don’t forget to pray
this is a dead man’s game
and you lose because you play
they say the grave or the cage
that’s supposed to be your fate
that’s why you never come alive
before you buried in that case
and you believe ‘em
giving up hope
and plus you broke
even your friends hate on your growth
that’s why you smoke
so…
(chorus + virgo)

so where do we go from here?
where do we go? where do we go?
so where do we go from here?
