deebo thompson - would they believe us كلمات الأغنية

Loading...

if we told them what it is to be ‘black’ in america, would they believe us?

i don’t think that they’d believe us..

what’s goin’ on in the world today?

shoutout to dave chappelle..

v1:
now, we were founded in hate
gunsmoke and race
genocide and rape
an enterprise of slaves
a people group who couldn’t
get an ounce of grace
outcasts, heads raised
in the profoundest ways
a skin full of light rays
kissed by the sun
the intelligence of lightwaves
what melanin becomes
a heritage terminated
a culture expunged
the weight of the transgression
gave birth to ‘lost ones’
but from loss came the wish
to regain and reconnect
to sustain the essence
under threats of death
even from a king’s lips
to the crosshairs of ‘x’
we knew inherently
that we’d attain the next step
the struggle don’t stop
resist, raise a fist
wake up and recognize
what the situation is
we define ourselves
we won’t wait for approval
so, if black lives matter to you
go ‘head and ‘do you’

hk:
now, if we told them what it meant
would they believe us?
for all the blood that was spent
would the recieve us?
or would they still act like
they didn’t need us?
appropriate our culture
forgetting how they treat us
they let these cops on the beat
freely beat us
k!lled in the streets
open fire to defeat us
jesus, enough is enough
even the president acts like
he can’t see us

v2:
let’s talk about the grime
or talk about the crime
or talk about these jokers
gettin’ over on a dime
redline policies to blow ya mind
tuskegee apologies
& jim crow signs
illusions of inclusion
desegregation
no justice, no peace
in our meditations
til equality is real
ain’t no celebrations
they can’t feel how we feel
cut the conversation
we tired of feelin’ it
and they tired of hearin’ it
though it’s played out
it’s kept for more than appearances
we can’t sit, stand or kneel
and be taken legitimate
so, this goes to my folk
who i know is feelin’ this

the struggle don’t stop
resist, raise a fist
wake up and recognize
what the situation is
we define ourselves
we won’t wait for approval
cause black lives matter to me
i hope to you, too

hk:
now, if we told them what it meant
would they believe us?
for all the blood that was spent
would the recieve us?
or would they still act like
they didn’t need us?
appropriate our culture
forgetting how they treat us
they let these cops on the beat
freely beat us
k!lled in the streets
open fire to defeat us
jesus, enough is enough
even the president acts like
he can’t see us
(2x)
