By Any Dream Necessary

Verse

Some days I'm feeling like Martin
Some days I'm feeling like Martin
What if we all come together to make the world better?
Just picture us marching
Can you imagine we take away all the hate and we pray and let God in?
Serve and protect is a false sense
Cops give out shots like they bartend
We playing D like James Harden
There's no defense, and our hearts getting hardened
Mike said it best, it can't get any clearer, the man in the mirror, I'm starting
Some days I'm feeling Martin
This is the movement I'm sparking
Every ethnicity, sexual preference, we all get together we'll all win
But what if we don't?
What if the ebony, ivory dream is a lie?
What if equality that he envisioned won’t come to fruition, and he had to die?
We see Obama was put in position and made a few changes and we know he tries
But you can't change what's inside of the hearts of those humans with hatred enslaving their minds
That's why

Some days I'm feeling like Malcolm
Some days I'm feeling like Malcolm
Wondering if we attacked and we fired back what would be the outcome
Tired of my people dying instead of complying what if we pull out guns
Late in the fourth and we down one
I shed a tear when they found son
You say, “Which son?” I say, “Pick one,”
‘Cause protection is more like fiction
What if your kid, or your relative, got they melon split, cause a slick tongue?
Or a wrong look, or a fast ride, or a ran light, or a hard grin
Or some back talk, that's what that’s called, when you speak up and you're dark skinned
And you're dark skinned, it's cause of dark skin
When you got dark skin, they're afraid like
Seeing shark fins man
Some days I feel like just loading the choppers
That black-on-black crime let's get over it, stop it
March on the precincts and throw away logic
We shouldered the hate, now let's show them we're not just
Some killers, or monkeys, or rappers, or junkies
Or singers, or ballers, you brought to this country
Y'all took off the chains and then when we got money
We put on the chains and y'all think that it's funny

Fair-weather friends call your phone when it's sunny
They're scared of me now cause my topics are touchy
Martin was cool and his vision was lovely, but what if it has to get ugly?
If we squeeze first, ask questions later
Feds will bring through investigators
Yea we all get stressed for paper
So staying quiet is our second nature
You share posts and you share quotes
But I dare folks to get educated
My main goal is let pain go
But I watched the footage and yesterday I cried
Yesterday I cried
Yesterday I cried

Chorus 4X

Some days I'm feeling like Martin
Some days I'm feeling like Malcolm
