Blind Eyes (The Good American)

Blood in the streets, we turn blind eyes

Is it murder, if we watch them die?

Blood on our hands, and we don't care why

We turn blind eyes, 'till we in the fire

Abandoned, layin' half dead in the road

And really, I don't know if I'mma make it

I'm stranded, the masked man took my clothes

And that hatred is what left me naked

I was mindin' my own

Until the heisters came and swiped what I own

Not right, got left to die on my own

Dark night and the blood I lie in's my own

Bruised ribs and a black eye

Swoll shut, but I still see my life flash by

Geeked, cause I think I seen a priest on the bypass

But he leaped to the other street and passed by

Then a Levite did similiar

And honestly I don't really know what hurt more

The thief guys tryna stick me up

Or getting ignored by the church folk

I know they seen me in their vision but for intervention

They too busy with agendas and religion

Is it pride, racism, or arrogance

That lets me die, waitin' for a good samaritan?

I'm lying, If I tell you that I can't see

You dying, just as long as it ain't me

Sex trade, little girls getting slaughtered

Long as it ain't my little girl, I ain't bothered

Wall Street gettin' occupied

Who cares, call me when somebody dies

The hurricane took your power, My God

Hold that thought, I gotta charge my iPod

Rwanda got that genocide

But I got that new Honda with the tint inside

9/11 We can hold hands, 9/12 I don't know man

Picket fences keep me caged up

An animal, unaware that I'm enslaved cause

I can't even fathom the thought of my neighbor

Askin' me for help, are you insane bruh?

The blood, the murder, the carnage, we see it all

From afar, on our DVR's

Simply too busy to be involved

It ain't our problem unless it's an easy solve

The hands and feet of Christ, is it lies?

Or do our busy lives tell us not to sympathize

The social ills of the world should make us sick inside

The big supply of evil should not desensitize

If they hungry and we don't feed 'em

Closet full of clothes, when the coat need 'em

What we do for the least of, we do the same thing to Jesus

I know you see Him in your vision, but for intervention

You too busy with your agendas and religion

Is it pride, racism, or arrogance

That let's em' die waitin' for a good American?

Star-spangled or blood-stained

Beautiful America, which banner gets unclaimed?

The untrained eye is blind without love

We seein' it now, but never the outcome

Murder she wrote, cause we ain't give her the savior

Naw, first we elope, then treat her like she a stranger, yeah

How we do both, with our selfish behavior

He said if you love Me, though, love your neighbor, Lord help us

Why are you afraid, of their faces?

They were reaching out, but you won't take it, no

They ain't gone too soon, so are you happy?

Cause if you don't love them, then you don't love me

No-oh-oh-ohhhh-oh

No-oh-oh-ohhhh-oh

No-oh-oh-ohhhh-oh

Cause if you don't love them, then you don't love me

No-oh-oh-ohhhh-oh

Blood in the streets, we turn blind eyes

Is it murder, if we watch them die?

Blood on our hands, and we don't care why

We turn blind eyes, 'till we in the fire
