Issues

I'm here to to talk to you about those real issues
The one that got you wiping ur tears with tissues issues
Like why we still have racism around today
I heard someone say cause of yesterday very far away
We raised up with this old thoughts
Let me tell you that you will stay short
Far from where we should be and could be
Cause of short sighted and hatred for you and me
But I'm just keeping it real with you
But the issues are to much still for you
So I keep telling you that I'm lying but I'm trying
To keep you from the truth that might have u crying
Bleeding from the heart for children dying in wars
Or gang violence so we keep ours kids indoors
But they tell you that just for the greater cause
Another excuse for them to be breaking laws
