Two Sides to Every Coin (feat. ReasonCanRap)

[Verse 1]

I'm doing a lot, I pray I stay away

White folks talking and I don't play today

Better check your energy, boy when you step to me

I don't have no empathy

When laying down this symphony

God he give me blessings when I'm sharing my soul

Only thing that sell and it's better than gold

Them kids I work with is like they like stuck in a hole

Watching stories that's told

Hoping they all unfold

Put a belt to that (shhh) And you know I'm not kidding

And it's coming from my mind And you know it's not written

Too many nights on the grind I'm completing my mission

Elevating, we just going the distance Yeah

[Pre-Hook]

Yo Reason, thanks for that

See people don't understand that there is always two sides to every coin

Yeah. I tell my side, you know

I may not live that life, but I sympathize

[Verse 2]

Nobody's hero, the narrative is simple

Partaking in them rituals, for dollars living sinful

Humiliation, double bodies, homicide or nympho

Appears to be the scene of neighborhoods in my window

I guess I can't speak, surrounded by clean streets

White folks walking dogs and birds singing at it's peak

A black man in middle class, though I yearn for change deeply

Fighting stigmas and the hatred that's surrounded by us weekly

Never matter about respect, when they had our mere presence

Clutching purses, eyes wander that's the mind of a Karen

On the flip side I really do feel for my brothers

Growing up in Section 8 with gun shells and roaches

They be screaming back the blue

They be screaming Donald Trump

But it's hard to trust the feds when half the time they mad at you

One stop can end a life ain't nobody bulletproof

It all started with our fathers

It can all end with you

Trayvon, Michael Brown, George Floyd, the living proof

Sandra Bland, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery on the news

Integrated us with love, but hate occupied the spaces

Some blacks couldn't take it, shed their skin to caucasian

All I can really do is spin the block and give you prayers

We abandon God daily, in his name I declare

A peaceful world from corruption

Our communities can function

No more bloodshed and if it do, it means something

This the side of a black man in a white neighborhood

I sympathize for anybody struggling to live good

This the end of the song, and I guess I made my point

It's a tale of two cities, two sides to every coin

I'm gone
