We as artist job is to entertain but also to inform, to bring healing to pain and thoughts. The gift of music that those blessed enough to reach an audience. Have a job to help grow and motivate especially in a time of need. If you do nothing, you get nothing. So what I'm doing is bring awareness and truth to those who are awake enough to listen to it. Too much hate in the world, too much to question in this world. But causing pain to one another will never give us the balance we long fought for. So instead of causing beef and controversy, Black Shawd brought u peace and harmony. Using his voice against the social injustices of America. This song is just an outlook and expression on what he goes through and I feel most go through. Just trying to make it in the everyday struggle of life. All in all, Black Shawd's message is a must-listen that comes at a time of violence and injustice. Helping and hoping to find A Way.

Verse 1:
I’m hoping wishing I find me away
To Get threw the things I see everyday
Riots and Rallies destroying are Nation
So much injustice were growing in patient
Marchin & Boycotten still nothing got down
We stand up and Pro Test they pull out there gun
#BlackLivesMatter just hear what were saying
Up in are community the police are sparying
Blood on the walls, there is blood on the floors
These concrete get painted even if your unarmed
Wondering and wishing if something will change
When your deep in the fire, you wishin it’ll rain
Do you hearing are calls, are you feeling are pain
Do you not understand, or you just turn away
Its these things that I wonder, Im just think out loud
Thinking and plottin to get me on out
FInd me a spaceship and fly off the planet
They we treat each other, I really cant stand it
See that hate, that you feel just know it was taught
Why can’t we move foward and get out the box
We came to far to be going back
They say im the problem all just cuz im black
Just searching for peace, its something I pray
Hoping someday we can find
(A Way)
Verse 2:
Maybe if I can come find me way
To deal with the things I see everyday
The struggle is real, you don’t understand
To keep us under was how the system was planned
Divide and conquer it works everytime
Trump got the country losing its mind
Look you not helping, you causing more pain
Causing more Violence,I wish that he would go (away)
The News is so traggic its so hard to bare
When nothing gets done it’s like nobody cares
When Flint lost they water, look nothing got done
Think that there worried then you are that dump
Where im from keep a gun if you wanna to survive
Were you can lose your life just walking outside
The young follow figures, with no father figures
This art that I paint to give you the picture
Lets stop all the hate and learn how to love
Stop all the killing we bleed the same blood
Only thing different about us is color
We dont learn to change then are days are numbered
Its time for a change cuz the old ways done failed
Hard to find heaven when living in hell
Just searching for peace, its something I pray
Hoping someday we can find away
Verse 3:
2 rise beyond hate, so we can succeed
Respect each other based on thier deeds
Not by are color, but love one another
you are my brother
or you are my sister
Yo listen
They say that im this, and they say that im that
Keeping me under thats why I feel trapped
What is the reason for all of the fight
Wish the hate would just go (away)
Cuz it’s not doing nothing but bring us down
When were still trying to manage getting around
What they wanted hidden, know we all can see
That hate that you feel cuz your not like me
Im crying inside from people dying in dispair
The truth is so ugly, once you look in the mirror
Don’t change the station, dont turn you cheek
Dont judge the person you see in the streets
it’s a beautiful world, that the ugly control
Your mind, your body, dont lose your soul
In this world were hate comes so natural
When another get buried its so pracical
I Know it get hard but you can’t give up
No matter how much it be tearing you up
Just searching for peace, its something I pray
Hoping someday we can find away
