Artist: Rittz f/ Candice Freeman Album: Top of the Line Song: Until We Meet Again Typed by: Nickolye16@aol.com [Rittz] Another school shootin just occurred today Thinkin what on earth could make somebody run up in a school or a church and take innocent lives away based on a person's race Little school kids stripped of their vertebraes Fake rumors start to circulate They beat his ass on camera cause they heard he's gay The YouTube views almost over 30 K The internet got us so shallow that we impersonate celebs thinkin that we all should be one And not that we failed, the world they need male role models, wish I have a pops but he's gone And mom don't keep up, she got two jobs Don't like stress, workin for her children She at work while her teenage daughter in her room with a dude and she twerkin while he's filmin Hurt somebody's feelings, shit all we do online is diss and talk bad and we bash total strangers, hope's endangered Glad to see my homie's made it back from Iraq But his limbs are torn up, his friends got blown up Enlisted as a kid, ever since they grown up They been through so much, exposed to death in combat How the fuck you come back and adapt? My homie just got Hodgkin's Lymphoma I'm prayin every day hopin he gon' beat it Strong muh'fucker on the phone with me Tellin me jokes while he's goin through his chemo treatment And he ain't put one sob story on his timeline Instagram or Facebook, that ain't always real life People starin at their phones so much that they forget to look up and see the skyline Thinkin that they Einstein cause they wrote a clever post It's just a flash in a tiny attention span Music is chewed up like fast food and spewed out, nothin new on a menu plan I can't hear shit (shit shit) Sincerity clearly has died My lyrics are merely the mirrors to the tears in my eyes I've done my best, bye [Chorus: Rittz + Candice Freeman] I've done my best to share my life My privacy's been sacrificed But now we've reached the end Until we meet again I've put my soul in every word I've shared my pain until it hurts But now we've reached the end Until we meet again Ahh yeahhh yeahhhhh [Rittz] Woke up and I checked Worldstar this morning A cop just shot and killed a black kid, it was all recorded Just like the incident they put up two days before it It's become so normal that it sickens me I know that I'm probably gonna piss some people off listening Because I'm white and I'm talkin about some shit we generally don't go through but still I can't ignore it There's so many people with power that won't go forward The problem ain't gon' solve itself Half of the cases are unreported 'til it's caught on someone's cell And this is not a diss to all law enforcement We call on them to help out when there is a threat But I guess it's because I'm white, if I was black I'd be scared to death When David Banner asked "Where were all the white rappers at when Mike Brown got gunned down?" I couldn't think of any answers I felt ashamed and afraid of the future with no contribution or any helpin hand to lend I was in Kansas City shootin videos for my last album and I could feel the tension Another time of my life that I felt like I was guilty for the color of my skin tone Three months later, I was back in Missouri on tour same night that the verdict was read I was in shock on Twitter ventin Then one of my fans tweeted that Mike Brown deserved it I said, "Man you dumb as fuck, imagine you went to the store for blunts And tried to run out the door with a pack And the cops didn't bother arrestin you or give you a lecture But instead they just murdered you dead Man this shit ain't RIGHT~!"
