Until We Meet Again

Another school shooting just occurred today Thinking what on earth could make somebody run up in a school or a church and take innocent lives away based on a person's race Little school kids stripped of their vertebrae's Fake rumors start to circulate, they beat his ass on camera, cause they heard he's gay The youtube views almost up at 30k The internet got us so shot low that we impersonate Celebs' thinking that we all should be one And not that we failed The world don't need male role models Wish you knew your pops but he gone And mom don't keep up, she got two jobs, don't like stress, working for her children She's at work while her teenager daughter in the room with a dude and she twerking while filming Hurt somebody's feelings Shit all we do online is diss and talk bad, and we bash Total strangers Hope's endangered Glad to see my homie has made it back from Iraq But his limbs are torn up, his friends got blown up Enlisted as a kid, ever since they grown up They been through so much, disposed to death in combat How the fuck you come back and adapt? My homie just got Hodgkin's Lymphoma I'm praying every day hoping he gonna beat it Strong motherfucker on the phone with me Telling me jokes while he's going through his chemo treatment And he didn't put one sob story on his timeline Instagram or Facebook ain't always real life People staring at their phones so much that they forget to look up and see the skyline Thinking that they Einstein cause they word their clever posters Just a flash in a tiny attention span Music is chewed up like fast food and spewed out Like "I'm new with a menu plan" I can't hear shit. So sad but he gladly can die My lyrics a million mirrors to the tears in my eyes [Chorus] I've done my best to share my life My privacy's been sacrificed But now we've reached the end Until we meet again I put my soul in every word I've shared my pain until it hurts But now we've reached the end Until we meet again Ah yeah Woke up and I checked what's on this morning A cop just shot and killed a black kid It was all recorded Just like the incident they put up two days before it It's become so normal that it sickens me I know that I'm probably going to piss some people off listening Because I'm white and I'm talking about some shit that we generally don't go through But still I can't ignore it There's so many people with power that won't come forward The problem ain't gonna solve itself Half of the cases are unreported until it's caught on someone's cell And this is not a diss to all law enforcement, we call on them to help out when there is a threat But I guess it's because I'm white, if I was black I would be scared to death When David Banner asked "Where were all the white rappers at when Mike Brown got gunned down?" I couldn't think of any answers I felt ashamed and afraid of the future With no contribution or any helping hand to lend I went to Kansas City Shooting videos for my last album And I could feel the tension Another time of my life that I felt I was guilty for the color of my skin Three months later, I was back in Missouri On tour the same night that the verdict was read I was in shock, on Twitter venting Then one of my fans tweeted that Mike Brown deserved it I said, "Man, you dumb as fuck Imagine you went to the store for blunts And tried to run out the door with a pack And the cops didn't bother arresting you Or give you a lecture But instead they just murdered you dead and this shit ain't right!" [Chorus] I've done my best to share my life My privacy's been sacrificed But now we've reached the end Until we meet again I put my soul in every word I've shared my pain until it hurts But now we've reached the end Until we meet again Ah yeah.
