I Need a Moment - K Rino

Say, tomorrow you could see your last Sun or last Moon

Feel like I’m bleeding out from emotional stab wounds

It’s like a storm, we just hoping that it pass soon

Girl had a baby in that gas station bathroom

It ain’t no break for some of us, man everyday be tough

These drugs got our young people doing some crazy stuff

Fast trigger take a life as a show of force

And even after they kill 'em they showing no remorse

18 and your life already minimized

The judge sentenced him to more time than he’d been alive

Ain’t no winners, when it’s over it’s a lose-lose

So much hate for each other we some confused dudes

How many lost in the game, I know plenty names

Seem like a little money’ll make people do anything

I’m sitting up, heartbroken from this killing mane

After the fact it’s a shame, what did you really gain?

Everyday it’s getting worse

I need a moment just to calm my nerves

I’m only looking out for you

Dialing the number but I can’t get through

Lets keep it real, blacks die when the police come

Unarmed, shot for no reason, matters where we from

Same type of video, it’s like watching a rerun

Then they twist it on the victim and question what he’d done

And on the ground lies the physical remnants of him

Turn on the TV, they paint a negative image of him

Quit telling me to forgive 'em because I’m above trying

If God don’t love his enemies why would I love mine?

Watching a brother get shot up by police till he die

Seeing the life exit his body, man that’s something I

Just can’t describe how bad it hurt me, I’m finna cry

Like Cuba Good in Boyz n the Hood punching the sky

I’m on my guard now, feeling like one day I’ma kill

I know if I’m hurting like this, think how his momma feel

You took a father from a baby, husband from a wife

But in your mind it’s just another worthless nigga’s life

Everyday it’s getting worse

I need a moment just to calm my nerves

I’m only looking out for you

Dialing the number but I can’t get through

And what’s even more heartbreaking

Is seeing us kill each other with no thoughts taken

Thinking 'bout way way back, hard to envision how

That baby you used to pack around, he in prison now

The overall situation left a lot ruined

I’m like, «Damn, if only I could have got to him»

No where to hide, everybody on the spot knew him

Influenced by some reckless things he wouldn’t stop doing

Left or right?

Which direction is the choice within ya

You a God, you just got that Devil poison in ya

Don’t even know who he is, I pray the Lord reveal him

I go to jail for whooping my child but you get to kill him?

I seen people try some dope one time then they fiends

Our children be committing suicide in their teens

It’s never over even though you had a hard life

I wish you knew how special that you are in God’s sight

Everyday it’s getting worse

I need a moment just to calm my nerves

I’m only looking out for you

Dialing the number but I can’t get through
