Love Is Gone lyrics

It's hard to sleep these days

The sounds of all the screams keep me awake

Love is gone, love is gone

Bend until we break, stand by and watch us all go up in flames

Love is gone, love is gone (uh, yeah)

Shit, the world is a flame

We worry about materials and the simplest things

When cops are killing people, and can't take the blame

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

We all keep praying for peace, praying for progress

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

So folks won't listen if they think what I'm saying is conscious

They'd rather hear me turning up on some simpler topics

Yeah so what's my place and my idol line

Then speaking what's going on, and saying what's on my mind

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

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

I'm not no politician, but they listen to somebody informal

All the kids gotta find out whats really important

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

Music could be a good escape, but outside it's been storming

It's hard to sleep these days

The sounds of all the screams keep me awake

Love is gone, love is gone

Bend until we break, stand by and watch us all go up in flames

Love is gone, love is gone (yeah, uh)

As I sit in the studio, guess the thinking this

If the statement's 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 fucking racist supported by white supremacists

Fuck Donald, go back to just running businesses

We all wishing 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 man's body's more free than a woman's is

The anger is real, the riots are limitless

And nothing's gonna change 'til we killing off all this ignorance

It's hard to sleep these days

The sounds of all the screams keep me awake

Love is gone, love is gone

Bend until we break, stand by 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?

We are, we are

How did we get the way we are?

We are, we are

How did we get the way we are?

We are, we are

How did we get the way we are?

We are, we are

How did we get the way we are?
