alma cook - take 21 (reprise) كلمات الأغنية

calling students, teachers, poets & preachers
the straightedge & rough-around-them truth seekers
the “too deep”-ers, those blessed with the boldness to speak
and those who express more by the quiet they keep

calling those who want solutions, those who pray until their knees hurt
those who want revolution just enough to buy a t-shirt
it’s for the homeless, the vagabonds & the phoneless
the people thinking they already know this

you say, “she can’t be talking about us,” ’cause you don’t think i should, man
aren’t you what they call a good man?
we’ve got love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness…
convenience & comfort should also take precedence, right?

i’m not impressed with it, fight until the death with it;
might be a southpaw, but i won’t be left with this
so before we get too far talking vision for changes
i’d like for us to visualize what change is

[chorus:]
maybe it’s me, but it seems kinda humbling
how we lay concrete but can’t keep it from crumbling
call me naïve, but you got me wondering
why we got two good feet but prefer to keep stumbling

hey, stop—look both ways
before crossing your heart at the end of the day
it’s not that we don’t know that crime pays;
it’s that someone else is cast as the criminal

(she can’t be talking about us; she’s talking about them.)
’cause, baby, you never k!lled n0body
(no matter the mark, she must be trying to condemn.)
some say that i am

[chorus]

enough—you’re raising a gl-ss
to stocking up on sympathy and hoping it lasts
mine’s up for some people of the past
but i’d much rather toast it to all of you

(she really needs to give it a rest, take life as it comes.)
’cause you’re one of the good people, right?
(gather ’round and give it our best; we’ll get this done.)
but it’s take twenty-one

[chorus]
