Tekst piosenki:
Chorus:
In the Virgo Cluster in the Milky Way, 3rd rock from a star where my people stay, they call us human, we call ourselves by our color, to eyes from above it seems we murder each other, so futuristic, why is peace, love, and happiness so futuristic, why is peace, love, and happiness so futuristic, why is peace love and happiness so futuristic, so futuristic, I'm hoping we could fix it
Verse 1:
Adam and Eve sitting in the garden of Eden, God said do what you wish cept for that Apple don't eat it, you got all of this here, I swear to me you don't need it, If you do we'll write a book and make your descendants read it, but I created you wired you to know you'd always want more, because after all that's what the concept of heaven for, yall don't wanna die, gotta have that alternate ending, its something to look to when you know you ain't been living, when you hate what you're given, but never worked to have more, it's easy to trick yourself into thinking there's more,
But earth could be heaven, and you could be god, it's true that you could be the artist paint the life that you want, earths a beautiful canvas, a miracle to behold, long as you don't get caught up in all the green and the gold, you wait for miracles straight out the book of letters and Psalms, maybe the fact we're even here's the biggest miracle of all, perfectly distanced from the sun to have light but not burn up, a moon to guide the tide and give us light till the sun up, planets on the outer rim to block the cosmic debri, a speck of dust in a sun beam is really all that we be, think about that when we talk about the concept of peace, our fighting and ignorance keeps us far from the key, over who's gods better, who's really reppin the truth, burning down houses for who lives over the roof,
Chorus
Verse 2:
In the USA, home of the free and the brave, that's what we were promised but I don't see that today, screaming I can't breathe cause we all drowning in lies, the Garner tragedy saw that with our own eyes, screaming film the police and still the system is fucked, the people are over it everyones had enough, and I've had enough of artists not speaking up, this a serious problem it ain't an issue to duck, fuck what color I am speak on it because I'm human, throw the police the power and then we watch em abuse it, we saw the shady ways of the CIA, grand jury prosecutors treating cop cases the same, when someone dies by another take it to trial no questions asked, cause it seems when you work with each other you'll get a pass, my thoughts go out to every family whos ever been effected, middle fingers go to every cop who's ever benefitted,
Outro:
I know racism is alive, I see the fire in the people's eyes, I hear the screams of a mothers cries, let the power stand down let the people rise,
I know racism is alive, carried by those holding onto fear inside, Wether you're red yellow blue brown black or white, let us look upon the world with equal eyes,
Only then can we equalize, when we start to look through equal eyes, only then will we equalize, until then we're all living equal lies
