A Different World (Vocal Up)
Lyrics
January 6th attempted coup & Insurrection
Trump followers successfully
Crashed the capitol building had congressional members all crawling helplessly
Police officers with terrorists! They taking selfies
Lord help me
I'm a black man that's double Jeopardy
Black plus a man that's black ALL of that in white supremacy
We've already known America's not our home
We're just citizens with no representation of our own
But we pay taxes, some as soldiers for the chief
While the commander in chief's a proud boy wearing sheets
Leading goons in the streets
Having no accountability
There can't a civilization without Civility
If I was pale I can be above the pale
My blue eyes is a passport to the blue skies
In my disguise as White, the way the cultures set up I can get the best in life
A superior law
And what we just seen on TV we seeing it all
B boys B girls
Hip-hop is from the school of Hillman
So We can make a different world
So Whatever history unfurls
Hip-hop is from the school of Hillman
So We can make a different world
We can make a different world
We can make a different world
Dwayne Wayne, Lisa Bonet
Jasmine Guy Characters in a narrative
Went to college to thrive
It is imperative cuz we was left to die
I don't think they understand we couldn't even vote til 65
There is not a Black alive without a relative
At the family gathering or barbecue, talking about the suffering and harm and all our drama dude
So when you got these dudes climbing the capitol walls, shouting all throughout the halls
Police must have FORGOTTEN how to use guns and all
It don't escape us that this was racist
There is still some BLM peaceful protestors with some pending cases
We protest cuz we're getting SLAUGHTERED by those who supposed to be law & order
These Whites do insurrection cuz they lost an election?
We done lost GENERATIONS dog get some perspective
And even if a few of y'all get arrested and the president gets a little correction that'll be the start of some good Repentance! Yo
B boys B girls
Hip-hop is from the school of Hillman
So We can make a different world
So Whatever history unfurls
Hip-hop is from the school of Hillman
So We can make a different world
We can make a different world
We can make a different world
Hard Working
Are we on the air
Remember the Black sista Miriam Carey
In 2013 she struck the Capitol barriers with her car
That led to chase with officers
Opening fire 26 bullets in her head and heart
Her 13 month old baby was in the back seat
That is how capitol police treat us Black people
We cannot forget our memories are FULL
And we're triggered all over again when triggers ain't pulled with the same EASE
As it is with BLACK bodies and in every single degree
We are not decreed with rights to LIVE
So when TRUMP incites dudes to go to the capitol
Some POLICE open the gates and let HALF OF EM THROUGH
You got us wondering if the system is REALLY in cahoots
We'll see the length of these sentences then we'll know the truth
Meanwhile EVERYONE that loves a hip hop tune
Black, White, Indian, Asian Latin whatever the roots
We can create new roads and new routes
B boys B girls
Hip-hop is from the school of Hillman
So We can make a different world
Whatever system unfurls
Hip-hop is from the school of Hillman
So We can make a different world
We can make a different world
We can make a different world
