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
