God Only Knows

They killed a brother for the color of his skin again
Reminds me how they treated Serena at Wimbledon
Sometimes it feels like it’s happening all over again
The Kali Yuga the samsara the hell within
To hell with anyone really being a racist
Rubber ******s mace sniffs
Villainy is faceless
My second cousin
Asked me for supreme
He ain’t even 13
He just want the logo tee
We the ones that sold the dream
Now it’s time for waking up
Now it’s time for everything
Lot of people 'fraid as ****
Saw the others getting ducks
In a row
There’s some things that don’t really sit right
With my soul
There’s some things that got me feeling like i’m bout to blow
And when i think about my black friends
God only knows
God only knows
We’re getting close

As i walk through the valley
Saw the spectre of a rally
Saw myself in all my glory all my folly all my doubting
Saw that in this moment all we have ever have is
A finale of another era that came before us
Like the galley of a slave ship traveling across the transatlantic
This is nothing new as the institutions that sat and planned it
Nobody should claim dominion
Hit Williamsburg Virginia
Saw a haunted house
Swear that shit it had me listening
I ain’t buggin out
Always knew the spirit battle stomping grounds
One way or another has a special way of leaking out
Maybe i just knew the hatred cuz i grew up in the south
Here’s some things than everyone should probably go and talk about

No one race is better than another
Why in the ****would you wanna see em suffer
Why would you ever put that hate up on your brother
Or your sister or your father or your mother
We all related
We all connected
We all are breaking
But i can only imagine what my black friends are thinking
God only knows
God only knows
