Too Much
DJ /rupture Lyrics

You got beef, bring it with talk, ain't no need for violence
Resolve conflicts through communication instead of violence.

There's already too many men in the moment of silence
Too many deaths and not enough action to prevent them.

Too many with handkerchiefs, too many wreaths
Too many funerals and too much mourning.

because there's not enough indians and too many chiefs
Too many people in charge and not enough people doing the actual work.

Cause there's, too many tears, and too many sides
Emotions are running high and people are divided.

Too many "we gonna miss him"s, and too many goodbyes
Too many deaths and too many goodbyes.

Too many flowers for baskets, too many caskets
Too many funerals and too much mourning.

cause there's, too many shootings, and not enough ass kicks
Too much violence and not enough action to prevent it.

Yeah, too many gangsters, and too many thugs
Too many people engaged in criminal activity.

Too many G's too many hoods, and too many drugs
Too many people in gangs and too many drugs in the community.

Too many mac-10's, too many techs and .38's
Too many guns on the streets.

Not enough food, on too many plates
Not enough resources to meet everyone's basic needs.

Too many Tony Montanas pushin a Lexus
Too many people glorifying the drug trade.

Not enough Medgar Evers, or Malcolm X's
Not enough people fighting for justice and equality.

Too many brothers locked, in institutions
Too many people in prison and not enough focus on reforming the justice system.

Yeah, too many problems, and no solutions
Too many issues and not enough action to solve them.

Too much, for too many people
The problems are overwhelming and affect too many people.

in the thought we was all created equal
In theory, everyone is equal and deserves basic human rights.

and if things don't change there won't be no sequel
If nothing changes, the problems will continue and worsen.

There's, too many enemies, not too many friends
Too much conflict and not enough cooperation.

Too many poor people, without too many ends
Too many people struggling financially.

Too many politicians runnin, with too many crooks
Too many corrupt politicians in power.

Too many kids in one classroom, and no books
Education is underfunded and overcrowded.

Too many broken promises, and too many lies
Politicians make empty promises and spread misinformation.

Too many girls buyin dreams, from too many guys
Women are sold unrealistic expectations and objectified.

Too many young black brothers doin too many bids
Too many black men are imprisoned and the justice system is biased.

Too many single black mothers raisin too many kids, alone
Too many women are forced to raise children on their own.

Too much sicknesses and too much disease
Healthcare is inadequate and too many people suffer from illnesses.

Too many genocidal blacks, too many degrees of separation
Racism is still prevalent and leads to violence and division.

causin too much strife
The problems are causing conflict and turmoil.

Too many things known in the ghetto that can take your life
The dangers of living in underserved communities.

There's, too much pop and not enough soul
Popular culture is lacking substance and meaning.

Too many things we create but we don't control
Technology and innovation often have unintended consequences.

Too many people walkin round, with not enough hope
Many people lack optimism and have lost faith in the future.

Too much crack, and way too much DOPE
Drug addiction is prevalent and devastating to communities.

Too many fathers not around, to raise their children
Absentee fathers are a problem in many communities.

Too many empty lots and abandoned buildings
Neglected infrastructure and lack of investment in communities.

Too many jails bein built and not enough schools
The priorities of society are misplaced, with more focus on punishment than education.

Too many rappers ain't droppin no jewels!
Many artists fail to use their platform to discuss important issues and instead glorify negative behaviors.

Too much negativity, in the things we say
Hate speech and negativity are pervasive and contribute to a toxic environment.

and not enough about showin us a better way
We need more positive examples and role models to follow.

Too many young black soldiers, in too many graves
Too many young people are lost to violence and war.

Too many of us still thinkin like slaves!
Mental slavery and oppressive systems still influence our thinking and actions.

Time to break the chains and the ties that bind
It's time for liberation and freedom from oppressive systems.

and elevate ourselves to a, greater state of mind
We need to strive for enlightenment and higher consciousness.

Set some positive examples for the youth!
We need to be role models for the next generation.

Teach them well so they know the truth, cause now
Education is key to fighting against misinformation and oppressive systems.

it's too much, for too many people
The problems are overwhelming and affect too many people.

In the thought we was all, created equal
In theory, everyone is equal and deserves basic human rights.

And if things don't change there won't be no sequel
If nothing changes, the problems will continue and worsen.
