So many mommas cried from their sons buried alive Walking out the door, never know if he's coming back Young gifted black, but stuck in the trap Symbol of peace, symbol of war People assimilate when we war Wish it was simple, but they want more More, more, more, more Symbol of peace, symbol of war People assimilate when we war Wish it was simple, but they want more More, more, more, more Yeah, it's already a war Check out the warden, you wanna see who's on games Then check the board, man Some will run up and dump without a warning Then snatch the kicks off your feet, they can't afford them, uh Who can protect us from this human nature? Assassinate ya if they cannot come illuminate ya All that shit right there they do for wages For ages, they beat the bricks off people locked in cages They angered, they fathers there, grandfathers there Before that, they were enslaved, military trained Before that, they were some warriors, royalty, it's glorious Warring just to get some peace, but there's no peace in all of us So when the crime rise, then the streets rise Man, this a wave we've already been on They try to pit us against each other, then wonder why We're all ready to war Smith and Wessons, gun lessons, count your blessings It's a death wish if you run up on us, then be ready to die Want peace, but we're tired of the beef If you run up on the streets, then my people out here ready to ride Symbol of peace, symbol of war People assimilate when we war Wish it was simple, but they want more More, more, more, more Symbol of peace, symbol of war People assimilate when we war Wish it was simple, but they want more More, more, more, more They got you going to war with the people That's in your same community When they ain't even really the enemy They tryna figure it out just like you A bunch of board men, they using us as pawns So we can fill up the jail cells and make 'em some more money It's a trillion-dollar industry, y'all, wake up

Couldn't go this far without Him Every day I pray for grace Never really knew the outcome Keep your hands on me Yeah Lord, keep your hands on me I know you've got plans for me You wouldn't have brought me this far Without demands from me I've fallen from great heights But still, you stand for me I could keep on going Just keep your hands on me And when it's finally my time Watch over the fam for me It's some people out here That don't give a damn 'bout me We're going through perils They unload barrels Wanna be heroes, had to put up a mural They took my mans from me That's why I pray for what I am Not what I cannot be There's not a person in this world That cannot bleed Won't try to preach, no one listens Only lessons: life, loss, or prison Try to remember to keep on forgiving But that alone is a mission On top of the missions I've been through It put me in messed up positions So many prayers I've sent you Opportunities given Life fast, knew that my path Was meant for a difference Keep your hand on me Couldn't go this far without Him Every day I pray for grace Never really knew the outcome Keep your hands on me Couldn't go this far without Him Every day I pray for grace Never really knew the outcome Keep your hands on me All I could do is pray It was some dark moments Realized how blessed I am 'Cause there's some people homeless I'm just one check away So there's no way I'd judge 'em It's too much hate out here So tell someone you love 'em No room for leaving grudges, baby Not your baby mother, baby father Baby cousin, sister, brother, friend, uncle Pick up the phone 'cause someone alone Thinking of suicide, it's so much stress we hold Ruins beautiful minds, it's cold To think we may never grow old So if we got a chance to give thanks Just think how someone was born and died on the exact same day It only takes a second to give praise Couldn't go this far without Him Every day I pray for grace Never really knew the outcome Keep your hands on me Couldn't go this far without Him Every day I pray for grace Never really knew the outcome Keep your hands on me Couldn't go this far without Him Every day I pray for grace Never really knew the outcome Keep your hands on me How can I say thanks For the things you've done for me? Things so undeserved Keep your hands on me
