Say What's Real Lyrics

Why don't you say what's real, say what's real
Say something
Why don't you say what's real, say what's real
Say something

Uh, look
I didn’t grow up in a neighborhood that’s plagued by violence
But I was taught that if you see a problem don’t leave silence
And yeah I thought that maybe I could speak my mind a bit
Cause if the issues in a race well this the finalist
I grew up watching things on TV that’s like Sandy Hook
They show a father on the screen and they’re like man he’s shook
Well I can’t deal and I been having problems sleeping
It seems like it’s every day we turn the channel and they’re weeping
What’s the world need a gun for?
You wanna shoot somebody or shoot something you better not
And now those kids won’t see the sun more (they won't)
Cause you been hunting on the weekends and that life is what they never got (no!)
So just like Sarah Palin thinks she's got the answers I would beg to differ
You say it’s safety but you don’t deliver
Go look at numbers or look in the mirror
It’s people dying and you indirectly are the killers

Why don't you say what's real, say what's real
Say something
Why don't you say what's real, say what's real
Say something
Why don't you say what's real, say what's real
Say something
Why don't you say what's real, say what's real
Say something

Yo, check it
I got a problem with the way we act like it’s all nothing
I got a problem with the way we let this turn to something (I do)
I got a problem with Orlando, and Aurora, and Columbine
We losing this battle and we ain’t even running
Look I don’t care if you think that it brings defense (no)
That clearly ain’t the truth cause when they shoot we jump the fence hold up
How can you sit there without ever tryna make amends, hold up!
How can you sit there and convince yourself that all this ends?
I look around and I can tell that this is not a choice
Because the headlines on the news are not making the noise
This can’t continue 'cause these kids getting shot with their toys
What should the mother say to her little boys?
When all of them just lost a brother from a massive attack
When people shooting in the workplace and they hide in the stacks
When Fox is blaming this on race but we know that talk is wack
I feel like now’s the time for action and there’s no turning back

Why don't you say what's real, say what's real
Say something
Why don't you say what's real, say what's real
Say something
Why don't you say what's real, say what's real
Say something
Why don't you say what's real, say what's real
Say something

Oh, yeah I got a solution
And from everything I’m seeing we could use a revolution
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah
These guns they kill 60,000 every year
So I think we need to make guns disappear
Oh
I think we need to make guns disappear
