akua naru - walking the block كلمات الأغنية

[intro: drea d’nur]
walking the block, yeah
i can see clearly
all who love
oh lord
another body drop
somebody just got shot
oh lord
oh lord
tell me can you hear me?
i need to know, can you hear me?
oh lord
oh lord

[verse 1: akua naru]
uh, another block caught, crooked cops, gunshots
‘nother body dropped, grandma waitin’ at the bus stop
county jail letter in the mailbox, house shoes, sweat socks
[?] braided heads on the porch to get that extra guap
eviction, facin’ rock bottom, pray she bounce back on top
american dream a nightmare, please make it stop
neighbors watch, inhale, modern day dress, god slingin’ rocks
black boy, white tank top, baggy jeans, dreadlocks
dreaming of that drop top non-stop chinese spot
and let me get a [?] navigate liquor stores
projects lords in vacant lots, we be the have-nots
when we have, we become what we got
another car ride by, system knock that new sh-t
pedestrians jot, hip hop corner stay a track in the flop
the pain immaculate, watch single mothers hustle
to punch the time clock, crime a cash crop
somebody runnin’, the dime drops
ice grills mask a kind heart
as time talks, fathers are holograms
sons waitin’ for the day to snuff uncle sam
why not? no sympathy for that man
he get what he deserve, d-mn
i said he get what he deserve, y’all
look, and he get what he deserve, y’all
they keep tellin’ me

[chorus: drea d’nur and akua naru]
walking the block, yeah (uh-huh)
i can see clearly (uh, i heard my sister say)
through the sirens and screams, oh lord (tell the world, y’all)
can you hear me? oh (uh-huh, uh, uh)

[verse 2: akua naru]
another woman raped, choked, battered, body found in the attic
contents of her purse scattered, leftover re-shattered
clothes tattered, lipstick smeared, broken gl-ss
no news reports on the matter, uh, n0body gathered
nothing change, ask around ‘bout her name
some said tamika, some claim loraine, the tag on the foot said jane
i wonder who she was, did she give and receive love?
did she fight back, or just gave up?
she laid dead, legs cold, hair gold
framed in the child’s pose
bruised nose, s-m-n-stained pantyhose
sade on the radio, [?] singin’ through the window
i wonder if pain has a tempo, i bet it’s slow
streets survive, never live, then we die
dreams deferred, gl-ss ceiling high, uh
born on the wrong side, is there a right side?
cl-ssifies our labour, sold for nickel and dime
and who decides our lives by signin’ on the dotted line?
next week, they gentrify, push us outside the city lines
sirens frame the evening
profiled for being non-white, breathin’, walkin’ the streets
bored cops, they fiendin’, probable reason
no donut shops [?] and roll up
on a couple cats, spanish speakin’
mexicans, what they screamin’? puerto ricans
they thinkin’ they all the same, f-ck ’em
blow out their brains, k!llin’ season, it’s war hour
wish they could take us all out, let the dogs out
n-ggas should be hangin’ from trees, auctioned off now
load ’em up, blast until they all down
fire shots at full force now, they never see the court house, y’all
uh, they never see the court house, y’all
uh, they never see the court house, uh
they never see the court house, uh, uh
they never see it, hey

[chorus: drea d’nur and akua naru]
walking the block, yeah (uh, uh, and so they keep tellin’ me)
i can see clearly (uh, i heard my brother say)
through the sirens and screams, oh lord
can you hear me? oh (uh, uh, tell the world, y’all)
yeah yeah, the block, yeah
i can see clearly
through the sirens and screams, oh lordy
can you, can you, can you hear me? tell me, oh

[outro: akua naru and drea d’nur]
uh
uh, another body drop today on the block
somebody just got shot today on the block (i can see, i can see)
look, y’all watch today on the block (i can see clearly now)
today on the block, today on the block (clearly now)
another body dropped (i can see, i can see)
somebody just got shot today on the block (i can see it clearly)
look, y’all watch today on the block (clearly)
today on the block, today, uh, uh (clearly)
another body drop (oh lord)
somebody just got shot (ooh)
look, y’all watch today on (ooh)
uh, another body dropped (ooh)
somebody just got shot
look, y’all watch today on the block
today on the block, today on the block (ooh)
