Love Is Gone (feat. Drew Love & JAHMED)

It's hard to sleep these days

The sounds of all the screams keep me awake

The love is gone

Love is gone (Yeah)

Shit, the world is in flames

We worry 'bout materials and the simplest things

When cops are killin' people, then they can't take the blame

They get acquitted, then you wonder why all the people rage, you stupid?

We all keep prayin' for peace, prayin' for progress

If you live in the hills or you stay in the projects

Some folks won't listen if they think what I'm sayin' is conscious

They'd rather hear me turnin' up on some simpler topics, yeah

So what's my place, am I outta line?

For speaking on what's going on and sayin' what's on my mind

This shit is fucked up, plus, it's happenin' all the time

My job as a rapper is to entertain, we tryna shine

I'm not no politician, but they listen, somebody inform 'em

All the kids gotta find out what's really important

I got a platform and a voice and a stage to perform on

Music can be a good escape, but outside it's been stormin'

It's hard to sleep these days

The sounds of all the screams keep me awake

The love is gone

Love is gone

Bend until we break

Standby and watch us all go up in flames

Love is gone

Love is gone (Yeah, uh)

As I sit in the studio, guess the thinkin' is

If this statements too crazy, then, should I finish this?

Or if my image is pretty, don't wanna blemish this

Or ever split up my fans, reduce my relevance

Pay attention and understand what the premise is

Everything not gravy, we can't pretend it is

So I salute YG, fuck the president

'Cause he a fuckin' racist supported by white supremacist

Fuck Donald, go back to just runnin' businesses

We all wished that somehow we could've prevented this

Until we all love each other, nobody benefits

Minorities and feminists, trans, gays and immigrants

The government mix politics and religiousness

So a mans bodies more free, than a woman's is?

The anger is real, the riots are limitless

And nothin's gonna change till we killin off all this ignorance, yeah

Hard to sleep these days

The sounds of all the screams keep me awake

The love is gone

Love is gone

Bend until we break

Standby and watch us all go up in flames

Love is gone

Love is gone (Aye, yeah)

Black squares on my timeline

You're tryna hide the truth and give the bail to these pork rinds

The proof is in the footage, you ignorin' what's online

Y'all only love a **** when he ballin' up court side

You cryin' for justice, how you don't understand the substance?

Black lives matter, never said that yours doesn't

But we fightin' for equality and justice for all

How we pledgin' to this flag, but ain't no justice for all?

At least for my skin tone, I try to roam around my thoughts for peace

'Cause Trump is killin' democracy and freedom of speech

My people hit the streets for answers, you labeled as threats

But turned the cheek on kneelin' protest

Kaepernick was black mailed for peaceful kneelin' protest

This shit is a joke, in the streets we march with unity

But qualified immunity is fuckin' up communities

Lack accountability is fuckin' up community

So try to understand before you fuck up my community

It's hard to sleep these days

The sounds of all the screams keep me awake

The love is gone

Love is gone

Bend until we break

Standby and watch us all go up in flames

Love is gone

Love is gone

Monsters, we've turned into monsters

How did we get the way we are?

How did we get the way we are?

How did we get the way we are?

Our conscience, we lost it

How did we get the way we are?

How did we get the way we are?

How did we get the way we are?
