[00:00.00]Stop The Hatred - 欧阳靖/Wyclef Jean
[00:03.92]Lyrics by：Jin Au-Yeung/Wyclef Jean/Maurice “Uncle Reece” Hicks
[00:07.85]Composed by：Dansonn
[00:11.77]Rain love on me
[00:14.02]Rain love on me
[00:16.41]Open up your eyes and finally see
[00:20.74]My grandma passed away at the top of last year
[00:23.59]At the funeral drowning cause I couldn't hold back tears
[00:26.32]But after all that's happened this past year
[00:28.76]Part of me sees grace in the fact that she's not here
[00:31.30]As a grandson this statement's a fact
[00:33.34]No elderly should ever be victim of such a heinous attack
[00:36.19]Prey on the weak only cowards would take advantage of that
[00:38.82]No more staying meek it's time to take a stand and react
[00:41.53]A simple trip to the market thought the streets were safe
[00:44.12]Turned targets I speak up for my people's sake
[00:46.70]From this pandemic I'm hopeful that we'll see escape
[00:49.36]Until then love's the only vaccine for hate
[00:51.85]Now when my folks leave the house it's quite the norm
[00:54.56]My mind's flooded with thoughts of what might go wrong
[00:57.31]Truthfully I wish I didn't have to write this song
[00:59.84]But it's only right I recite it since this mic is on
[01:03.39]What if we went a little bit out of our way to stop the hatred
[01:08.96]Imagine that
[01:09.72]Stop the hatred
[01:13.93]What if we took a little time out of our day to stop the hatred
[01:19.43]Could it be
[01:20.17]Stop the hatred
[01:22.04]Rain love on me
[01:23.45]He cold like Antarctica
[01:24.97]It don't matter if you black and white says the man in the mirror
[01:27.50]The squad's facing the terror
[01:29.01]I'm talking mother father sister brother grandma and grandpapa
[01:32.04]All doomed cause of skin color
[01:33.94]Paranoid like my mind playing tricks on this ghetto boy
[01:36.86]So I gotta scream for my mama like I'm George Floyd
[01:39.40]Now I'm all in linen like John imagining
[01:41.50]But he ain't give peace a chance he took 8 lives with him
[01:44.88]Where the love go still unanswered
[01:47.53]Politicians they be flipping Gabby Douglas
[01:49.75]Divide so they can conquer then they chain our ancestors
[01:52.59]Come together like the Beatles remastered
[01:55.65]What if we went a little bit out of our way to stop the hatred
[02:01.02]Imagine that
[02:02.07]Stop the hatred
[02:03.86]What if we
[02:06.26]What if we took a little time out of our day to stop the hatred
[02:11.60]Could it be
[02:12.48]Stop the hatred
[02:14.22]Rain love on me
[02:15.47]It's new footage every other day every bit of it hard to watch
[02:18.71]I'm talking to my son he's eight listen to your pops
[02:21.25]I said don't fall for the bait the actions of a few
[02:24.08]Don't reflect the nature of an entire race
[02:26.62]Maybe the past is full of lessons but we missed it
[02:28.88]History shows indeed tension has existed
[02:31.60]Between the two communities but here's a fact
[02:33.87]Beyond colors were humans not just yellow or black
[02:36.30]Like Chris Rock I ain't liberal or conservative inside
[02:39.15]I just know the enemy would love to further the divide
[02:42.20]Media don't care how the story is told
[02:44.06]They're more concerned with how the story is sold
[02:46.30]Preconceived notions make it harder to see together
[02:49.33]There's much power Rush Hour look at Carter and Lee
[02:52.06]Hopefully through dialogue we'll start to agree
[02:54.50]More light for you doesn't make the world darker for me
[02:57.24]Nuh uh
[02:58.24]What if we went a little bit out of our way to stop the hatred
[03:03.67]Imagine that
[03:04.68]Stop the hatred
[03:06.46]What if we
[03:08.84]What if we took a little time out of our day to stop the hatred
[03:14.14]Could it be
[03:14.94]Stop the hatred
[03:16.81]Rain love on me
[03:19.49]Rain love on me
[03:21.81]Rain love on me
[03:24.29]Open up your eyes and finally see
[03:26.97]Open up your eyes and finally see
[03:29.94]Rain love on me
[03:31.31]Rain love on me
[03:32.54]Rain love on me
[03:34.74]Open up your eyes and finally see
