The Long Way Home

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
