Let Me Out
Mama Mavis, ohMama, they tried my patienceObama is gone, who is left to save us?So together we mourn, I'm praying for my neighborsThey say the devil's at work and Trump is calling favorsYou say I'm dangerous, I speak for the namelessI fly with the vultures, I be with them bangersIf change don't come, then the change won't comeIf the bands make 'em dance, then the rain gon' come(Woo!)
Am I passin' into the light?(Am I looking into mercy's eyes?) Look into your eyesAll the world is out of your hands(Then ascending into the dark, let me out)You got to die a little if you wanna liveChange come to passChange come to passYou'd best be ready for it
Something I've begun to fear is about to change its formYeah, yeah, yeah, it's a shift in timeBut I won't get tired at all
Let me out, let me outLet me out, let me out
Look into my eyes, mama, tell me what you seeTell me there's a chance for me to make it off the streetsTell me that I won't die at the hands of the policePromise me I won't outlive my nephew and my niecePromise me my pastor isn't lyin' as he preachTell me that they'll listen if it's lessons that I teachTell me there's a heaven in the sky where there is peaceBut until then, I keep my piece in arm's reach(Yeah!)
Am I passin' into the light?(Am I looking into mercy's eyes?)All the world is out of your hands(Then ascending into the dark) Another nightYou got to die a little if you wanna liveChange comingYou'd best be ready for it
