Maybe I'll go to bed and pretend nothing happened today
Maybe I'll wake up in the morning and pretend it didn't happen this way
Then just go to work to earn a hard days pay
Maybe dissect the words of the people with nothing to say
Funny how loud the words project, when you try to protect what's perceived as yours
Murder from a knee on the neck gets a pass, crucifixion for a nigga with a knee in the grass

Maybe I'll take the long way home
Let the radio numb my mind
Stop, get a bottle of gin, and sip till I go blind.

I don't know where to begin man

Then maybe I'll take the long way home
Cause I think I might already be gone

Should I fight. Should I stand. Should I run
Should I be like them and brandish my gun
Should I quote scripture. Should I vote. Should I cry
Or turn the other cheek, when every other week I watch a black man die

Guilty is the charge, but we've seen it play out before
And the end result was another muthafukka walkin out the door

The clock is tickin' and the chickens in the frying pan
The city's burning, souls are turning,
If you wash your hands

Then maybe I'll take the long way home
Then maybe I'll take the long way home
