thy neighbor - joell ortiz lyrics

[intro]
(heatmakerz, crack music)

[verse 1: joell ortiz]
uh, i thank god for every day i wake up
and live it like it might be my last
it don’t take much to get your grave dug nowadays
lower casket on tops where the flowers lay
another sermon, a mother hurting, a brother lurking
another person headed to they final resting place
face gracing that white t*shirt with expiration dates
if you from the hood then it’s familiar, you familia
and what i’m about to say won’t get any realer
we walk around portraying this lie like we unafraid to die
’cause we taught that we ‘posed to be k!llers
walk through the ghetto and you might just find
a ice cold shooter with the brightest mind
a scholar athlete that fires a nine
kids with two good parents still lay on the grind
d*mn, we taught the block is cool
so even on the right path we bring glock’s to school
whoever wrote the g*code, man, they botched the rules
’cause just staying alive is a lot to do

[chorus: joell ortiz]
lord save us, the world hates us
you know me, i don’t ask for nothing, player
but this one time i need a favor
teach us how to love thy neighbor
teach us not to shoot thy neighbor
teach us not to k!ll thy neighbor
teach us how to hug thy neighbor, love thy neighbor
it feels like the world hates us
[verse 2: nucci reyo]
you hate god ’cause people who claim religion got flaws? (wow)
this is why we build bridges, not walls
when i step in, it’s feeling like the building got small
like he ain’t die for us all (right) fulfilling god’s law (true)
and getting you less love if your digits not tall (say what?)
you not living ‘less you get the shot call, is you crazy?
every breath is a blessing
every death is a lesson
and all that’s left is a question (why god?)
the recession of love is the next depression (real talk)
in the past, i ain’t make the best impression (now that’s real)
now i’m living through grace with less aggression
i can’t stand it i gotta check for my weapon
for a different reason now (what you say?)
the righteous are targets
walking zombies are lifeless and heartless
i can’t believe they calling themselves demons (i can’t believe it)
am i christopher williams? gotta be dreaming
oh god, it’s odd how they get even
they don’t let nothing slide
they slide, they jump and rise just for stepping on their slides (there you go)
ego and pride was the reason that he died
somebody lied
