Love Is Gone

It's hard to sleep these days The sounds of all the screams keep me awake Love is gone, love is gone (Uh, yeah) Shit, the world is in flames (Flames) We worry 'bout materials and the simplest things (Things) When cops are killing people, then they can't take the blame (Blame) They get acquitted, then you wonder why all the people rage, stupid We all keep praying for peace, praying for progress If you live in the Hills or you stay in the projects So folks won't listen if they think what I'm saying is conscious They'd rather hear me turning up on some simpler topics Yeah, so what's my place, am I out of line? For speaking on what's going on, and saying what's on my mind This shit is fucked up, plus it's happening all the time My job, as a rapper is to entertain, we tryna shine I'm not no politician, but they listen, somebody informal All the kids gotta find out what's really important I got a platform and a voice and a stage to perform on Music could be a good escape, but outside it's been storming, yeah It's hard to sleep these days The sounds of all the screams keep me awake Love is gone, love is gone We bend until we break, stand by and watch us all go up in flames Love is gone, love is gone (Yeah, uh) As I sit in the studio, guess the thinking is If the statement's too crazy, then should I finish this? Or if my image is pretty, don't wanna blemish this Or ever split up my fans, reduce my relevance Pay attention and understand what the premise is Everything not gravy, we can't pretend it is So I salute YG, fuck the president 'Cause he a fucking racist supported by white supremacists Fuck Donald, go back to just running businesses We all wishing somehow we could've prevented this Until we all love each other nobody benefits Minorities and feminists, trans, gays and immigrants The government mix politics and religiousness So a man's body's more free than a woman's is? The anger is real, the riots are limitless And nothing's gonna change 'til we killing off all this ignorance, yeah It's hard to sleep these days The sounds of all the screams keep me awake Love is gone, love is gone We bend until we break, stand by and watch us all go up in flames Love is gone, love is gone Hey, yeah Black squares on my timeline They're tryna hide the truth and give the bail to these pork rinds The proof is in the footage you ignorin', what's online Y'all only love a nigga when he ballin' up, courtside We crying for justice, how you don't understand the substance Black lives matter Never said that yours doesn't But we fighting for equality and justice for all How we pledging to this flag but ain't no justice for all? At least for my skin tone I tried to roam around my thoughts for peace 'Cause Trump is killing democracy and freedom of speech My people hit the streets for answers, you labeled as threats But turned the cheek on kneeling protest Kapernick was "black-male'd" for peaceful kneeling protest This shit is a joke In the streets we march for unity But qualified immunity is fucking up communities Lack of accountability is fucking up community So try to understand before you fuck up my community It's hard to sleep these days The sounds of all the screams keep me awake Love is gone, love is gone We bend until we break, stand by and watch us all go up in flames Love is gone, love is gone Monsters, we've turned into monsters How did we get the way we are? How did we get the way we are? How did we get the way we are? Our conscience, we lost it How did we get the way we are? How did we get the way we are? How did we get the way we are?
