| I’m coming home
|
| The night is young
|
| Oh, shine your light
|
| For me when I’m out in the streets
|
| Ends justify means when you making a meet
|
| When you losing the sleep that you saying you need
|
| But what good is rest when it’s family to feed
|
| When it’s money to get when it’s dollars to count
|
| Fuck a job, you never raised for larger amounts
|
| Keep the lights on, front door locked
|
| 'Cause the villains in the wilderness, lotta George Zimmermans
|
| Damned with some innocence
|
| So that mean he still out on the prowl for a black child
|
| While the judge and jury crack smile, Lord
|
| Keep the lights burning
|
| Oh, I’m coming home
|
| I’m coming home
|
| The road is long
|
| The night is young
|
| The night is young
|
| Somewhere in America
|
| Say, say your prayers, shine your light
|
| For me
|
| For me when I’m out on the creep
|
| Do whatever to get a meal when you barely can eat
|
| I’m determined to fight the power to further the peace
|
| Mama scared the police might make a point out of me
|
| 'Cause it’s hard to sleep living life in a daze
|
| When kings wanna be niggas, I hope it’s phase
|
| Queens down to be hoes as long as they paid
|
| Chained to our oppressor we slaves
|
| Who wants to be saved
|
| When they claim that the prayers that we pray go unheard
|
| In these God-forgotten days, just in case
|
| Keep the lights burning
|
| Oh, I’m coming home
|
| I’m coming home
|
| The road is long
|
| The night is young
|
| The night is young
|
| Somewhere in America
|
| Say, say your prayers, shine your light
|
| For me
|
| For me when I barely can smile
|
| And the sun refuse to shine when I’m out in the wild
|
| And the raindrops tap the window pane on my room
|
| Scared I lost faith, pray I find God soon
|
| In a world full of alt-rights I was left field
|
| Black man born poor, I was black steel
|
| Black man born free, this how blessed feel
|
| Because my dreams are dreams, don’t make them less real
|
| Nightmares are still the same thing
|
| I’ve fallen from grace, wishing I had wings
|
| Like a dunk in the Summer but I ain’t had Spring
|
| 'Cause all that running from trouble’ll give you bad knees
|
| Now how can I make a move without a play
|
| I got freedom of speech but with nothing to say
|
| 'Cause all that working for something but they barely can pay
|
| What the glimmer of Heaven giving me every day
|
| So I wade in the water
|
| Filled with the sharks, snakes, gators, and piranhas
|
| Till the higher, higher ground of the mountaintop
|
| Away from the shooters that’s down for shooting to take a shot
|
| 'Cause they believe in everything they ever heard
|
| From the bigots and racists that twisting every word
|
| So, a hotel balcony could be the end
|
| Or a podium speaking to family and friends
|
| So won’t you keep that light, light, light
|
| Keep that light, light, light, light burning for me
|
| So won’t you keep that light, light, light
|
| Keep that light, light, light, light burning for me
|
| I’m coming home
|
| The road is long
|
| The night is young
|
| The night is young
|
| Somewhere in America
|
| Say, say your prayers, shine your light
|
| Say your prayers, shine your light
|
| Shine your light
|
| For me… |
