Lyrics Call Us by Our Names - Malaki

Call Us by Our Names

I wanna go back when people had a Walkman
I wanna go back to when people still talk man
I wanna go back to when funny was Charlie chaplain
But I guess I can’t man
But I guess I can’t man
'Cause that’s life
Progression at its finest
But then why are human minds
Regression, lack of kindness
Obsession to a screen no smile you cannot find this
Time when society was at its highest
Now I’m busy checking times
'Till it’s fucking timeless
Full time shifts to the dark I don’t abide this
Start a revolution from your bed call me your highness
Now additions to your life through what they said end up a minus
So start afresh
Clean your head and clean your sinus
'Cause you never know your last
'Till you’re dead and close your eyelids
No you never know your last till you’re
Dear diary I know it’s been a while
But the whiles been longer since I’ve seen a brother smile
The worlds love seems in denial
When all it takes is a push of a dial
See we’re oppressed to a number and tested on a file
You never know you could be the best Tom or Kyle
But I guess you’ll have to wait till change comes through trial
And error
But for now we see death we see terror
We see scratched faces through cracked mirrors
And we still think we’re seeing clearer
Murder a man over a dispute ain’t that a killer
I see fields and meadows in a time of bliss
But how you can achieve this with no time for shit
Work for money and money for the work
'Till you find yourself abiding to this systematic murk
Is that it?
Grow old, foretold by the man before you
Dance on the grave forgotten we can’t afford to
Take a trance in your brain for the night to make it through
But only lasts so long yes I thought you knew
Dear diary it’s me again, your old friend
The one who complained and explained the inevitable end
So I ask will this shit change
Or will I just keep writing till I see no rain
No pills for pain
No kill for rage
No thrill for age
Till I turn that page
Till I turn that page
Till I turn that page
Till I turn that page
