Lyrics to Take Me To The Sunlight
Hey, hey, hey
Rexx
Hey
Sometimes I write and start to follow my feelings
Could play the victim but these views will make me a realist
I'm a Black man but still I understand I got privilege
Bro, look at Rafah, where Israelis dropping bombs on a village
I send my prayers to the mothers
I send my heart to the children
I send my love to the fathers
And each generic civilian
Imagine digging for your family members under a building
And watching politicians try to justify why they did it
The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse
Dangerous the abuse
I see the flaws in the system, look at what it produced
Look at what it produced
Everybody eat the fruits but they don't trip off the roots
The irony is they gonna squeeze all the juice outta you
You better pick a side
People in the streets in solidarity, they energized
The tax money could have fixed the hood
It's funding genocide
They wrap my dogs for petty drug charges a million times
While war criminals be killing kids and don't get any time
The food poisoned, healthcare high, the schools in decline
But somehow the Pledge of Allegiance still getting memorized
The truth will get you killed, the stupid shit get legitimized
And give you religion, at least it's light at the finish line, ha
Life at the finish line
I seen this story way too many times
We all human, it don't matter how you identify
Huh, 'cause if you had to struggle then we intertwined
Bow my head and pray
I got some questions I'ma send to God
Where is heaven for the ones who look like me?
Tryna believe in something that I can't see
Take me to the sunlight
(The sunlight)
Take me to the sunlight
(Eyes to the sky)
Putting wax in the joint, these oil paintings
I enjoy the hating, ain't no holographic foil faded
When you pull my car, we ignoring greatness
Praising mediocre
Bunch of Bruce Waynes out to make me the Joker
Hate feeding vultures
Waist deep in culture
I can't see me wasting breath on breakbeats
Just to make sure they meet a quota
When the heat is on niggas' backbones pasta
Hate seeing soldiers, get 'em off the roster
Talking diagnosis, we is not a doctor
But if Swiss cheese on that then
I bet you niggas find the clockwork
We got 51 seconds, dog
That might not work, but bleed ink
For this life to my type right
Obsolete
I don't speak in possiblys
Already know this, 'fore I ever cop the trees
Already floated, 'fore they ever got to me
The real was noticed
I'm already high, boating
We on top the waves
Know that we don't got the
Patience for niggas crashing out
Stay out the way
Six feet like Fauci say
Really in it
Don't sit on your couch and tell me nothing
Nigga, fuck what you about to say
Your count is off or it's coming off
Gutters only where the water's running off
The sun is lost behind the clouds
I can't see it clearly in this fog
Hit the synagogue
I got questions I'ma send to God
Send to God
Where is heaven for the ones who look like me?
Tryna believe in something that I can't see
Take me to the sunlight
The sunlight
Take me to the sunlight
Sunlight
Take me to the sunlight
Take me to the sun
Take me to the skies
Where real love never dies
Where the real love never dies
Take me to the sky
Take me to the skies
Where the real love never dies
I try to keep my head to the sky
But it's hard when it's falling down
Falling down
We mistake the rainfall
For gunfire on the ground
God bless my people
Bless my people
Protect the soil
Stop all the evil
All the evil
Watch down on us
Huh, I pray for patience
I pray for empathy
I pray for discernment
(I pray for discernment)
I pray you also give it to my enemies
'Cause we don't deserve this
('Cause we don't deserve this)
Pray that you walk with me when I walk into my purpose
Walk into my purpose
When it's feeling uncertain, oh
