Like Us

Do you want sex, or do you want love
Do you want freedom, or do you want trust
We could be the thing, or we could be dust
You got what I need, or is it all dust
Speak like us, talk like us
Walk like us, heart like us
Beat like us, love like us
Hug like us, cry like us
Die like us, fear like us
Weird like us, sad like us
Glad like us, up like us
Down like us, judge like us
Hate like us
Nevermind, that can be just you
This is a new chapter, new view
Same rapper with a new do
Call it a new crew
I used to judge before I knew
Doesn't mean it's the truth
A media's view
This ain't breaking news
What could I do
Look where I grew
My roots were racist
Don't act like you didn't walk the same paces
Like we ain't from the same places
I hear the N-word from your faces
And you pretend you ain't racist
It's ignorance
It makes me sick
As a kid
I can't pretend I never said it
But I was just a youngin
Words slipped from my lips like tongue-in
But it was me I was fuckin
Got out of my surroundings
Amazing who I founded
Myself in you
Guess we got more in common than we knew
Met a dude, Andre
Dark as night
Led me to light
To change my fight
I knew I wasn't right
He changed my sight
America, we can change overnight
History like our X
Malcolm, I learned
You still creating change from an urn
Your past, don't regret
Just make the steps to change the next
And do your best
It ain't complex
Love is trex
I'm trying to infect
Bring up my past
I'll smash
I have to reintroduce my ass
The old me had to go
This is trex 2.0
You greedy with your changes
Acting like we can't show love to stranges
Does the color of someone's skin
Change how you feel within
Well then it's still a problem
Cut em off
I'll be nub to none
Acting numb like freedom is done
We just begun
I ain't the chosen one
We are
We in charge
Take our guns
We armed
This song alarms
From projects to farms
Open arms in barns
It ain't where you from that makes you
It's where the future takes you
It starts today
There is no slaves
Unless you still treat them that way
I've been judged too
Struggles like bus routes
Wait in the cold
Do what you're told
I won't
Unless I agree what you spoke
From rich to broke
A kid to folks
You can touch my soul I hope
I might have walked a tightrope
But did it break
Nope
I'm hoping to goat
Greatest of all together
If you truly want us forever
As one we climb
I guess a gift can come from being legally blind
Speak like us
Talk like us
Walk like us
Sound like us
Heart like us
Beat like us
Love like us
Hug like us
Cry like us
Die like us
Fear like us
Weird like us
Sad like us
Glad like us
Up like us
Down like us
Come together
Hate ain't us
But do you want love
Do you want freedom
Or do you want joy
