lirik lagu t. royce - better days
this
is where life
took its turn
for the worst
this
is where life
took its turn
for the worst
this is where life
took its turn
they tell him freeze, get on your knees, he begging please, just stop it!
they tell him get down, on the ground, and empty out his pockets!
he thinking should he stay, or should he run?, he weighs his options!
then takes off running, look around, he got the whole world watching!
his hands is shaking, heart is racing, thinking, will he make it?
and he didn’t choose this life, but it’s time for him to face it!
since he’s black, he’s prime suspect any situation!
the biggest problem, of the problems in this racist nation!
the system fails him, try’s to tell him, that it’s all his fault!
but he didn’t do a thing, all he ever did was walk!
they gun get drawn, they hold the power, they don’t try to talk!
gone be another victim dead that was never wrong!
he’s keeping pace cuz at the end he knows it’s yellow tape!
not ready for the end, not ready to go meet his fate!
he screaming help!, he need some help!, the fear all in his face!
to feed their hungers, they make sure they keep up with the chase!
the cops who rob us, no survivors, this is not a game!
they live in worry, it’s so sad the law cannot be tamed!
suppose to keep them safe, but instead they causing pain!
now tell me where the righteousness?, what could they possibly gain?
some golden medals, recognition, all for a position?
and to make it home was really his true mission!
but it’s looking like a cold case, he might end up missing!
preparing for another lost to this corrupted system!
he’s loosing breath, not taking steps, he’s running out of time!
then it gets quiet, thinks he’s safe, he try’s to clear his mind
he’s calling down, he’s walking now, the boy just thinks he’s fine
he doesn’t care to turn back, doesn’t look if they’re behind him
shots get fired!, hit his back!, he’s falling to the ground!
and even though he’s lying there, they empty out a round!
they don’t express it, but they caught him, so they happy now!
got everybody looking at them, what’s to happen now?
they walking over to the boy, as he makes out a sound!
black lives matter, how the world going to view him now?!
accomplished what they wanted, hoping that they gain some ground!
this act of violence they committed is just so unsound!
seeing that he’s just a kid, they realize what they did!
not thinking first, just acting k!lling off the innocent!
no time to get they story straight so they call it in!
dispatch, suspect down that we tried to apprehend!
justice for one!, injustice for all!
i said!
“injustice for one!, justice for all!”
i mean it!
justice for one!, injustice for all!
we hope we never have to wake up to that phone call!
i said!
“injustice for one, justice for all!”
i mean it!
justice for one, injustice for all!
i said!
“injustice for one, justice for all!”
we hope we never have to wake up to that phone call!
we pray for better days!
