Mississippi Voss - Delta

Play the string, let the ivories ring
Then the beat joins in, you start to sing
Feel the sun on your skin, feel the rhythm and grin
Let the funky thing swing
Relax, chill out, let yourself go
Breathe, simmer down and keep it low
Relax, chill out, let yourself go
Breathe, simmer down and keep it low
Relax, chill out, let yourself go
Breathe, simmer down and keep it low
Relax, chill out, let yourself go
Breathe, simmer down and
I listen to rappers
I'm hearing their struggle
How their household uncoupled and their family crumbled
All the problems that they juggle just to stay out of trouble
The more I listen, more I realise like I live in a bubble
Sometimes a lyric hits me so deep it troubles me for time
Many's a time my eyes been opened by a rhyme
Like a road I've never driven, cos I couldn't see the sign
This white privilege embarrassing, I feel like I am blind
Blind to facts that have stared me in the face before
Blind to the cracks and the scars from the pain you wore
Blind to the reality that, when I'm learning history
Any noteworthy mention of black was at the slavery store
And this world been around for millennia now
But somehow it's left to us millennials, wow
The so-called 'snowflake generation', loves a media trend
And our voice is growing louder, we got things to amend
We might be angered and mourning, but we come in peace
Demanding justice and equity and safety on streets
And until that is answered for, let our voices not cease
Authority is broken when you can't trust police
So speak out, stand up, make some noise, make a difference
So speak out, stand up, make some noise, make a difference
So speak out, stand up, make some noise, make a difference
So speak out, stand up, make some noise, make a difference
In my mind, I can go wherever I want to
In my mind, we can go, together, me and you
But a crack in the cloud, if the weather allows, and suddenly the future's good
Just a glint of blue comes shining through, feeling better than I knew I could
But a crack in the cloud, if the weather allows, and suddenly the future's good
Just a glint of blue comes shining through, feeling better than I knew I could
In my mind, I can go wherever I want to
In my mind, we can go, together, me and you
But a crack in the cloud, if the weather allows, and suddenly the future's good
Just a glint of blue comes shining through, feeling better than I knew I could
In my mind, I can go wherever I want to
In my mind, we can go, together, me and you
But a crack in the cloud, if the weather allows, and suddenly the future's good
Just a glint of blue comes shining through, feeling better than I knew I could
