(Intro)
*Senator Cory Booker:
This is the high call of patriotism. Patriotism is love of country
But we must be there for each other
We must empower each other
We must find the common ground
We must build bridges across our differences to pursue the common good
Let me tell you, we cannot devolve into a nation where our highest aspirations are that we just tolerate each other
We are not called to be a nation of tolerance
We are called to be a nation of love (love, love, love)
(HOOK)
Iyzlow Matisse:
Blade up under my warriors belt /
We at war with each other, we at war with ourselves /
But what's it's for is it glory or wealth you desire /
I demand a Ceasefire /
So I put my blade up under my warriors belt /
No more war with each other, No more war with ourselves /
Cuz what's it's for is it glory or wealth you desire /
Put ya' weapon down Ceasefire /
(VERSE 1)
ExZac Change:
Drop your weapons, don't shoot. I come in peace /
Come to spread a positive message and smoke a little weed /
Fuck it roll one on the beach and get your mind where it needs to be /
ExZac Change for the greenery /
VISTAS just another name for scenery, but this the Escape Plan /
Fuck all of that hate I'm tryna make a million dollars outta 8 grand /
Determine my own fate, touch each base and arrive safe at home plate / (SAFE)
We need change, no waitin' for a raise /
Gotta get it by today, I understand the predicament /
I'm in the same boat, feelin' like a fisherman /
Lovin' life crazy got me feelin' like a kid again /
It's this moment of clarity that's a rarity /
She askin' will you marry me, I'm thinkin' how embarrassing /
Its really not relevant or is it /
Everybody at war with somethin' only some will admit it / (Yo)

Iyzlow Matisse:
Reach higher to gain, and claim status, obtain and inspire the brain to be wiser / (Yup)
Cuz we riders, that train, a fine line 'tween fame and what we leave to the game when we retire / (unh)
A speech writer, and my rise it'll creep by ya' / (C'mon)
Defeat rivals like I'm Ryu from street fighter / (Hadouken)
I breath fire, from liquor shots at the speakeasy / (whoo)
And leak truth so all my people can speak freely / (speak freely)
You can't solve the world ills with a pill / (no)
Can't stop police beatings with a peace treaty /
But each reading from my book of life /
Will teach feelings of love, and put that hate under the knife until we get it right / (get it right)
We all come from the breadth of one experience /
Don't ever be defined by those dividing lines /
It's curious I find that those you idolize /
Are seriously missin' all the ammunition kickin' in my vital signs /
That's why it's my /

(Outro)
*Senator Cory Booker:
Our blessings sprang from countless ordinary Americans
Who showed extraordinary acts of kindness, decency, and love
People who struggled and sweat and bled for our rights
People who paid the ultimate price for the freedoms we all enjoy
I was told that we can't pay those Americans back for their colossal acts of service
But we have an obligation to pay it forward (pay it forward, pay it forward)
