Face To Face

Face To Face

Verse 1 [Lyric Jones]
Yo, yo
In the mirror staring face to face
The daily paper chase
Transformations taking place
Call it amazing grace
Twinnin like my interface
Heart on my sleeve
Honestly, my database
Is fairly caught up to speed
Harsh reminders of my race
Shit, its Harder to breathe
House arrest without the ankle brace
The fault of disease
Which one should I be fearing most
A virus or a system
Corona shit ain’t coming close
Of violence on my sistas
And brothas we can list em
We peaceful they don’t listen
We sick of playing victim
My anger is the symptoms

The world can’t deny it or hide this shit any longer
No more being silent, they violent but say we squander
Some make believe perfect dealt hand, truth is we stronger
But painfully we still seeing strange fruit over yonder
The tragedy is back to back
Hit us more than Aubrey stats
These corporations copycat lies
How can it not be that?
The air is feeling different
My temperature change
My people sick of the statistics
Our temper in flames
We fighting hand to hand
For all the Sandra blands
Breonna Taylors real demands
Rage is all they understand

In the mirror staring face to face (2x)

Verse 2 [Lyric Jones]

Different worlds come head to head
Lately been seeing red
I barely make it outta bed
Fearing what's in store ahead
Theses fireworks been every night
Similar to Waco
But kinda worse, cuz every hood thinking they heard a draco
Fam ain't come to visit yet
Feels crazy to complain
The love I can’t diminish that
But its been 8 years and some change
Feeling like I’m estranged
It’s really hard to explain
But convos keeping me sane
Somewhat
Still it’s been a strain
Looking at my reflection
Everything appears the same
But need a piece for protection
Living dolo ain’t a game
My neighbor let me hold his machete
I wish a nigga would demeanor
Try me I’m ready
False sense of security
Still, weight of it’s heavy
I’m wondering how long I can chill when making pennies
Many are drained, thankfully I’m feeling recharged
And lately I been hit with big reminders of God
Survivors guilty cuz many ain’t beating the odds
Often faced with “That could’ve been me”
Fuck the facade
Taking one day at a time
Sipping my gimlet with lime
Facing my partner in crime
Me, true growth her prime

In the mirror staring face to face (2x)

[Outro] BeMyFiasco
They say blues
Two by two
We say cruise
Might just lose
Our minds through
Rewind ooh
Fight for you
Fight for you (2x)

Fight for you
