Tyrus Handy - #ThisIsReal lyrics

[Hook: Tyrus Handy] How many times will I really have to see this? (huh?) How many times will it happen 'til you believe it? It's real, this is real (uh) This is real, yeah it's real. (uh) [Bridge 1: President Obama] "This cycle of suspicion and discord must end. I know there's been a lot of publicity about this speech but no single speech can eradicate years of mistrust." [Verse 1: Tyrus Handy] I'm falling victim to a system that was built against us One after one, man it's instance after instance I've seen this all before Oakland and Baltimore Baton Rouge, New York City That's one time too many I've seen this everywhere Let's face it the whole nation What's the use in patience? And what's the use in waiting? A subject to discrimination I'm tired of waiting The time is now man we've gotta make a statement [Hook: Tyrus Handy] [Bridge 2: Quinyetta McMillon] "The individuals involved in his murder took away a man with children who depended upon their daddy on a daily basis." [Preverse: Tyrus Handy] Alton Sterling, this one's for you [Verse 2: Tyrus Handy] Selling CDs outside the store It's prolly one in the morning The cops show up And they seem to have it all out for me I'm out here tryna make it And the cops are tryna tase me The cops are too busy tryna fight so who's gon' save me? Six bullets to my chest And I'm laying on the ground They shot me execution style My heart beat's going down Cops yelling in the back but I never made a sound I'm laying in this parking lot and now I'm fading out [Hook: Tyrus Handy] [Bridge 3: Lavish “Diamond” Reynolds] "You told him to get his ID sir, his driver license. Oh my god, please don't tell me he's dead. Please don't tell me my boyfriend just went like that. Please don't tell me this Lord. Please Jesus." [Preverse: Tyrus Handy] This one's for Philando [Verse 3: Tyrus Handy] I'm somebody's son I'm somebody's father So how's a cop gon' k** me in front of my girl and daughter? Definition of slaughter But I followed your procedure Pulled your gun out And you shot me it's so immediate My gun was licensed and I warned you 'bout that But did I really stand a chance? Man I highly doubt that My birthday's Friday but there ain't much to celebrate now Sitting in the driver's seat as I start to fade out [Hook: Tyrus Handy]
