Straighten It Out Lyrics - Singles - T-bone

Let's break it out all of this black-on-black 

Brown-on-brown, in every town 

Because I'm sick of seeing my people's sketches 

Scattered all over the ground 

Since these murders occur every single day 

So put the gun away because I want to live 

To see another day, a happy day 

Where there's peace between nations 

Love within races and no division in the congregations 

No more pimps and drug dealers on every corner 

A homeless people struggling with no home freeze 

And they pump for quarters, I am talkin' about a world of peace 

With no mo' closed caskets if you know rows 

Like most of my homies that have been deceased

Ariana Grande Adds Her Own Verse To "Last Christmas" 

No more murderers, diseases or suicides, it's time we all wake up 

And wipe the mucus from my sleepy eyes 

And straighten things out like a ruler 'cause nowadays 

The cart we juggle is full of hate, killas and runaways 

I'm sick of it, so I'll be the first brother to shout 

Let's straighten it out 'cause together we can work it out 

Let's straighten it out, from the west side to the east side 

Let's straighten it out, from the north side to the south side 

Let's straighten it out, from the east side to the west side 

Let's straighten it out, from the south side to the north side 

I wish somebody would tell me why 

We can't just straighten out all this mess 

At times I think my fat should be a bulletproof vest 

Got all these homies claiming south side, west side 

East side, north side, Asian, Black and Brown pride 

Photos 

It seems that there's no mo hope, my own people's send me 

Their guns and try to push me the dope, I can't cope 

But I gotta, why? Because I'm sick of all the shots ringing 

From the sixty-fo and hollas 

Remember where we was family, where we could kick it 

And not worry about your own kind killin' ya' 

Seems like all we care about is money and fame 

Drugs in the game, it's killin' me softly 

Like Lauren from the Fugees sang 

Man, what's it gonna take for us to grow up 

Before love is the only gang sign we throw up? 

'Cause all our peoples headin' straight for the morgue 

Unless we put down the guns 

And start to trust in the Lord 

Let's straighten it out 

I wonder what could make a man hit a woman wit' a furious hand 

Somebody tell me because I just don't seem to understand 

And then we wonder why y'all kids is bangin' with none at home 

It seems the parents is the one givin' they kids a trainin' 

Beatin' 'em down, with your fists and a buckle of a belt 

To prideful to accept that you needed some serious help 

So you kept strikin' like thirsty bats straight out of hell 

But what you did was wrong, stop and listen to my song 

It breaks my heart in two when I see the things you put them through 

Why do you do all the harmful things that you do? 

Spiritually guided with deceive and rags on both your wives 

Not knowin' you was led by demons when you made them cry 

But you didn't quit till they finally ran away from home 

Then your wife left you too and now your sad and all alone 

Just thinkin' about everything your family could have been 

So now your squeezin' the trigger to leave this life of sin
