Let Me Talk
50 million voices
Rumbling from the streets
Talking bout these babies
And which they will mistreat
Now Martin Luther King Jrs'
Checking out the jive
Cause glancing at this nation here
Racism is alive
Come on
Aye let me talk to you
Let me tell you
What I'm tryna do
I'm out here taking names
If you seen what I seen
You'd be on them thangs mane
Aye you should let me talk to you
And let me tell you
What I'm tryna do
Save souls all around the world
Bring peace to these boys and girls
We're all the same
With different names
Will you play your role?
Just as you've been told
Let me talk
Uh let me talk
Let me talk
Uh let me talk
I stand tall
Let me talk
Let me talk
Won't you come on down
Put your feet on the ground
Get in touch with you
Let your love come through
Red and blue
White and brown
Polka dot and stripe
All with hearts that pound
For peace and love
Let's take a stand
For freedom and justice as they promised this land
Tif for tat
This and that
Why are we still stotin' crack
The shhh is wack
It's taking us back
And don't judge me for stating the facts
Aren't ya'll tired of living in hell
Let's all be examples like Barack and Michelle
Cause see a playa like me was built to survive
And we just need to stay alive
Said we just need to stay alive
And we need to stay alive
Said and we just need to stay alive
And we need to stay alive
Said and we just need to stay alive
And we need to stay alive
Said and we just need to stay alive
And we need to stay alive
Said and we just need to stay alive
And we need to stay alive
Last time I seen this
David was bodying Goliath
Last time I was this G
The nineteen naughty riots
Turning on the news I'm sitting and I'm quiet
Contemplating change but I'm broke, hungry and I'm tired
From writing down rhymes just to grease your mind
Got my degrees in line
Defeating crime
If ya watching time
You can't see, you're blind
It's either yes or it's no
Seek joy or be unkind
Combined
I'm everything ya needing
Got ya followers up but tell me what ya leading
Huh yea
Aye let me talk bruh
Said violence is cheap, phobes are weak
Bullies suck
Have no fear cause guess what, I'm here
With no plans of disappearance
Love choo choo your train
Truck on lil' trucker
And imma still rock a hoodie when it's raining
Yea
Said I just wanna talk
To your soul now
Oh
Is that alright baby
Is that alright darling
Is that alright sugar
Yea, hmm
Is that alright
Is that alright
Is that alright
Rumbling from the streets
Talking bout these babies
And which they will mistreat
Now Martin Luther King Jrs'
Checking out the jive
Cause glancing at this nation here
Racism is alive
