ilish - Phases

Текст песни

Phases a distinct period or stage
In a series of events or a process
Of change or development
Yesterday’s a memory
Only thing I want is peace
And I want you to know
I ain’t who I use to be
I’m praying for equality
Praying for equality yeah yeah (x2)
Cuz yesterday’s a memory yeah
Only thing I want is peace
Got me praying for equality (x2)
Losing focus
At the bank making deposits
Counting profits
Doesn’t mean I’ve made a profit
If I only talk bands
Umeployements higher
Than it’s ever been
How can I be selfish
Then sit back and brag
Houston we got a problem
Divisiveness is causing violence
You can’t sweep it under the rug
Then hit us with shoulder shrugs
Expecting hugs with love
Acknowledgment is only the first process
Yeah yeah
It’s bigger than reparations
We need restoration
Made this here to bring awareness
To the nation
So long-needed saving
2Pac said it best in 98
We need changes
Hilltop told me illy
Take precaution
With the words
You be saying
After praying
Contemplated
Should I say this
My people at the border
Some getting deported
Black bros being oppressed
It’s time to stand united
Yesterday’s a memory
Only thing I want is peace
And I want you to know
I ain’t who I use to be
I’m praying for equality
Praying for equality yeah yeah (x2)
Cuz yesterday’s a memory yeah
Only thing I want is peace
Got me praying for equality
