I wrote this song over a year ago when I was worried about my future, feeling a little lost. In a twisted way, a year later, I’ve grown so much in my music and I work harder everyday to get better and secure a future for myself in which I can make a living from my music, but things have only gotten...
CHORUS:
Somebody killed us on our way
Is it you x3
'Cause I'm in heaven
And it's so blue x3
VERSE 1:
I'm afraid I won't make it
I'm afraid I might fail
I'm afraid I won't break it
Afraid I won't make bail
I'm afraid they won't take it
I'm afraid I won't sell
I'm afraid I might lose somebody
I'm afraid I won't tell
Mama why they don't call us?
Why we never got no mail?
And why they killing our people?
Why they all look so pale?
Grandmama gon' leave us
Mama please don't wail
And if there is no heaven
I hope we never see no hell
I wish heaven had visiting hours
I would send my grandma flowers
There's no last call for alcohol
And I would live a life of champagne showers
And I would spend a couple hours with my grandpa
I'd tell him I don't know where to start
I would show him all of my scars
I'd tell him how we left earth for Mars
I'd tell him we don't know who we are
Or where we going but got 2, or 3 cars
And I would try to shower in the clouds
And I would try to rap for the stars
So if I never come back down
Don't miss me, you might miss your part
I'd tell him all of my dreams
And I'd tell him now my dreams ain't far
VERSE 2: Stella Mensah
You're falling into me
I think we're flying already maybe
You paint your yellow onto me
And I'm not so blue
I think that I want to fly with you baby
But I'm afraid I might land in an unknown place
I'm afraid I might wear a deceptive face
I'm afraid that my soul won't speak through my hands
You tell me that it can
VERSE 3:
'Cause every time I wake up it's like take cover
'Cause they killing all of my brothers
I think it's clear now they don't love us
We ain't kinfolk we ain't lovers
We're just black kids, we're just others
So they kill one and they kill two
And too many killed they all above us
They look down on us and shine
See the sunshine in their eyes
While the white man he look down us
See hate, in all of their smiles
They looking for bait and they know that we fly
And they tryna disguise it with all of their white lies
Like we don't matter these black lives
So whenever whenever we die
Until forever we all in the sky
CHORUS:
Somebody killed us on our way
Is it you x3
'Cause I'm in heaven
And it's so blue x3
