Take Me To The Sunlight

Текст песни Rexx Life Raj - Take Me To The Sunlight

(Ay, ay, ay, Rexx) ay

Sometimes I write and start to follow my feelings
Could play the victim, but these views'll make me a realist
I'm a black man but still I understand I got privilege
Bro, look at Rafah, where Israelis droppin' bombs on a village

I send my prayers to the mothers, I send my heart to the chil'ren
I send my love to the fathers, and each generic civilian
Imagine diggin' for yo' family members under a buildin'
And watchin' 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)
E'rybody eat the fruits, but they don't trip off the roots
The irony is they gon' squeeze all the juice outta you

You better pick a side (pick a side), people in the streets in solidarity
They energized, the tax money coulda fixed the hood
It's fundin' genocide, they wrap my dawgs for petty drug charges, a million times
While war criminals be killin' kids and don't get any time

The food poisoned, healthcare high, the schools in decline
But somehow the Pledge of Allegiance still gettin' memorized
The truth'll get you killed, the stupid shit get legitimized
And give you religion, at least it's light at the finish line, huh

(Life at the finish line) I seen this story way too many times
We all human, it don't matter how you identify (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 somethin' that I can't see
Take me to the sunlight (the sunlight)
Take me to the sunlight (eyes to the sky)

Puttin' wax in the joint, these oil paintings
I enjoy the hatin', ain't no holographic foil faded
When you pull my car, we ignorin' greatness
Praisin' mediocre, bunch of Bruce Wayne's outta make me the Joker

Hate feedin' vultures, waist deep in culture
I can't see me wastin' breath on break beats
Just to make sure they meet a quota
When the heat is on niggas' backbones pasta

Hate seein' soldiers, get 'em off the roster
Talkin' diagnosis, we is not a doctor
But if Swiss cheese on that then I bet you niggas find the clockwork
We got 51 seconds, dawg, that might not work

But bleed ink for this life to my type right, obsolete
I don't speak in possibles, 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, boatin', we on top the waves
Know that we don't got the patience for niggas crashin' out
Stay out the way, six feet like Fauci say
Really in it, don't sit on yo' couch and tell me nothin', nigga, fuck what you about to say
Yo' count is off or it's comin' off, gutters only where the water's runnin' 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

Where is heaven for the ones who look like me?
Tryna believe in somethin' 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 fallin' down (fallin' down)
Uh, we mistake the rainfall for gunfire on the ground (gunfire on the ground)
God bless my people (bless my people), protect the soil (oh)
Stop all the evil (all the evil), uh, watch down on us (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 feelin' uncertain, oh
