Tears + Sorrow Lyrics
[Verse: Common]
Years of tears and sorrow
Lead me to never to fear tomorrow
Food for thought that some never appear to swallow
Raw as the wind of Chicago
The way they slayed art
Destroying light
Them regular trademark
But God is watching
Yeah, God is watching and observing
Ready to serve justice to those that are deserving
Several minutes later –
The creator will innovate a way to...
Pay the police and the beast of supposed righteousness
And all we can do is just fight, and just...
Live
Yeah, just live
[Refrain: Meshell Ndegeocello]
I won't be...
I won't be...
I won't be...
I won't be...
[Outro: Fela Kuti sample]
But ya see, I didn't die
Because my name is Anikulapo
I have death in my pouch
I can't die
They can't kill me
