alkeme - why we kneel كلمات الأغنية

[intro]
i once had 20/20 vision now i just see glimpses
they take our rights, they take our lives, steal culture, k!ll traditions
you say you don’t need our permission you just steady living
well i don’t need police, politicians, or orange bigots

(verse 1)
it’s hard to keep it all together, though your blood is boilin’
when everybody’s good and you’re hurt
you feel the walls, they’re crashing down and all your work and toil
might as well go to the dirt

cause they, say they wanna make a difference
but they, don’t wanna change anything
as we, sink and say we’re suffering
and they, say they think we’re bluffing
just ignoring all thе violence, and drown it out

they claim wе’re dangerous as they cage us, try to shut us down
they claim to own the land they stole and then they drive us out
they pull us over, striking fear before they shoot us up
they flood the street with so much hatred hoping that we drown

we can take a stand, best believe, no we will not stay quiet
and all our differences are perfect, so we will not hide em
standing hand in hand, strong shoulders, oh we will keep on going
cause underneath the skin they cry oh lord, this is our moment

[chorus]
hold on cause they want you to let go
stay strong you are more than you are told
the song we sing is an anthem
don’t lose hope, cause the pen is lethal

i’m praying for a miracle something alleviating
i’d take a prophet over gold, could use some mediating
my destiny’s a for sure thing, but they just keep debating
the way the prophecies of old had people hesitating

(verse 2 )
since i was young i had to learn how to fight from the back
and now that i’m doing it voluntarily they scared of me
they fear i’m dangerous or deranged simply because i’m black
they want the kid in institutions, penitentiaries
head set to heaven for solutions, and my heart is heavy
unsteady, petty, but ready for every adversary

though i don’t think i could hold it back, or last another attack on blacks, that’s just a fact
but if it gets to that then, i can just outlast em, like you’re hipster rap, and i stay boom bappin

i stay up nights and cry and think about the travesty, hate has plagued the nation, made for you and me
you say oh can i see, and try to hide from me, the lies and plain to deceit, this land was never free

i don’t got a body count cause i ain’t k!llin’
welcome to america, police k!ll our children

innocence equals wrong, so the hero must be the villain
they fabricated justice, why you think they call it system

yet we ain’t never had the luxury of feeling all these chains released
and, simply jogging down the street without fear of being k!lled or beat
cause taking a stand for human kind means you stand with me
and if black lives don’t matter, no one’s does, say can you see?

[chorus]
hold on cause they want you to let go
stay strong you are more than you are told
the song we sing is an anthem
don’t lose hope, cause the pen is lethal

>bridge< alleviate me from this pain and then you’ll finally see we can no longer fight the fact that y’all been trynna sleep tell me i’m trippin and frontin, okay, okay i guess but all your words don’t mean nothing let’s put em to the test i once had 2020 vision now i’m seeing clearer you want our rights, you want our lives, but we refuse to mirror the hate inside, deceit and lies, yo miss me with that fear if y’all can’t stand us, collin kaepernick it sit or kneel [chorus] hold on cause they want you to let go stay strong you are more than you are told the song we sing is an anthem don’t lose hope, cause the pen is lethal i’m praying for a miracle something alleviating i’d take a prophet over gold, could use some mediating my destiny’s a for sure thing, but they just keep debating the way the prophecies of old had people hesitating
