Lyrics
That's when I realized like how dangerous these people actually are
Like they will make up complete lies about you
And put it in actual news headlines bruh
Like they tried to say I desecrated an American flag
My protest was against white supremacy
It was against the confederate flag
Like let that sink in though
But they tried their best to turn my friends against me
My fans against me
But their lies made me like a legend
Because I fought against empire and I won
What do you think when it comes to me?
Where do you go when you run from me?
Will you be there when they come for me?
Do you realize what you've done to me?
I'm on a road and its paved in gold
I'm gentle inside but they say I'm bold
I'm trying to balance my multiple talents
I open my heart and they say it's closed
Oh well oh well
We living good we shining bright
We hold the fire we slay the night
We gave our soul we paid the price
Oh well oh well
So let them hate us from afar
They aim at us like shooting stars
We never changing who we are
Oh well oh well
We eat fire then breathe life
No peace signs in these times
We kill idols we free minds
Oh well oh well
So let them hate us from afar
They aim at us like shooting stars
We never changing who we are
Yeah okay, all of my life I try to inspire
But inside I'm dying I guess I'm a liar
My head to the sky my feet to the fire
My only desire healing humanity raising it higher
There's pain in my purpose the day I expire
That be the day I'm no longer inspired
My body armor is made out of iron
The weight of the world keeping me tired
I'm praying to Juice praying to Peep
Give me the power to speak
I'm praying to Pac give me the courage
To carry the torch when they aim for my heart
Oh well oh well
We living good we shining bright
We hold the fire we slay the night
We gave our soul we paid the price
Oh well oh well
So let them hate us from afar
They aim at us like shooting stars
We never changing who we are
Oh well oh well
We eat fire then breathe life
No peace signs in these times
We kill idols we free minds
Oh well oh well
So let them hate us from afar
They aim at us like shooting stars
We never changing who we are
Yeah, okay
I built her a home and I waited here
A lump in my throat but I say it clear
She taste the poison as soon as she kiss me
I took her spirit returned it with interest
The moral of story is simple
If you're not careful the fame and the money will kill you
Face all your issues handle addictions
God will not put you in any position
That you cannot handle
All of my heroes have died of afflictions
Killed by the pressure of fans and ambition
I don't think anyone's listening
Oh well oh well
We living good we shining bright
We hold the fire we slay the night
We gave our soul we paid the price
Oh well oh well
So let them hate us from afar
They aim at us like shooting stars
We never changing who we are
Oh well oh well
We eat fire then breathe life
No peace signs in these times
We kill idols we free minds
Oh well oh well
So let them hate us from afar
They aim at us like shooting stars
We never changing who we are
Cause you know in your heart
What's right and what's wrong
So say that shit with your chest
You don't want to die tomorrow
Wondering what you should have did
Or what you should have said
To make the world a better place
