Let Me Out

Mama Mavis, oh Mama, they tried my patience Obama is gone, who is left to save us? So together we mourn, I'm praying for my neighbors They say the devil's at work and Trump is calling favors You say I'm dangerous, I speak for the nameless I fly with the vultures, I be with them bangers If change don't come, then the change won't come If the bands make 'em dance, then the rain gon' come (Woo!) Am I passin' into the light? (Am I looking into mercy's eyes?) Look into your eyes All the world is out of your hands (Then ascending into the dark, let me out) You got to die a little if you wanna live Change come to pass You'd best be ready for it Something I've begun to fear is about to change its form Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a shift in time But I won't get tired at all Let me out, let me out Let me out, let me out Look into my eyes, mama, tell me what you see Tell me there's a chance for me to make it off the streets Tell me that I won't die at the hands of the police Promise me I won't outlive my nephew and my niece Promise me my pastor isn't lyin' as he preach Tell me that they'll listen if it's lessons that I teach Tell me there's a heaven in the sky where there is peace But until then, I keep my piece in arm's reach Am I passin' into the light? (Am I looking into mercy's eyes?) All the world is out of your hands (Then ascending into the dark) Another night You got to die a little if you wanna live Change coming You'd best be ready for it Something I've begun to fear is about to change its form Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a shift in times But I won't get tired at all Am I passin' into the light? (Am I looking into mercy's eyes?) All the world is out of your hands (Then ascending into the dark) Another night You got to die a little if you wanna live Change is coming You'd best be ready Be ready, ready for it Be ready, be ready Ooh, ooh ooh (Let me out)
