Take it back a moment maybe we can start again
I want so bad to know the wick ain't burnin' at both ends
Is there a way to see all of the dark and still hope in the light?
Is it too late to hope?
Is it too late to hope?
Day by day
It's the same
Cops taking shots on the colored saints
We got a reaction
But where is the change?
Another life gunned to death by the state
One cage, for a hundred lives
Little ones hoping for a better life
Taken from their parents with no goodbye
Build a wall in thе ground and your brain
And you bet we stay
The samе
But we can never go back the way we came
Get me out
I need to find a way
I need to find a way out
Get me out
Out of the dark and hopelessness
Everybody wants to feel justified
But do you got what it takes to abide in the light?
Get me out
I need to find a way
I need to find a way out
Day by day
I'm enraged
10 in the pen for selling weed
Mass incarceration is slavery
Abolitionists cry out 13! 13!
Separate the family
Make the raid
South all the way to the northern states
Address systematic problems with personal blame
And God as my witness
We will never change
Get me out
I need to find a way
I need to find a way out
Get me out
Out of the dark and hopelessness
Everybody wants to feel justified
But do you got what it takes to abide in the light?
Get me out
I need to find a way
I need to find a way out
I hear ya talk
But all it does is make me sick
All it does is make me sick
Take it back a moment maybe we can start again
I want so bad to know the wick ain't burnin' at both ends
Is there a way to see all the dark
And still hope in the light?
Is there a way that we can walk in truth
And still have a chance to fight?
To fight
Is it too late to hope?
To fight
Is it too late to hope?
Get me out
I need to find a way
I need to find a way out
Get me out
Out of the dark and hopelessness
Everybody wants to feel justified
But do you got what it takes to abide in the light?
Get me out
I need to find a way
I need to find a way out
