Richboy J - Prayer From Amerikkka (feat. Sel)
Know you hear me calling, won't you pick up it's your childI don't wanna live this way no more, I'm tired of running wild
Tired of feeling scared of police, and white people who don't know me
But they think that it is only other whites who live around
I know we're kings and queens, made in your image, where's my crown
Ameri-k-k-ka don't see it, and they always put me down
They rather see our bodies lifeless, cold, and laying on the ground
Cant you see we're treading pools of tears, we're trying not to drown
I promise I ain't mad at you, I wanna see a change tho
I mean I'm kinda mad, my fams still here, for that I thank you
But what about my people who I see are still in chains
Not just the physical, I see the shackles on our brains
Left drom years of trash conditions, being dropped in bad positions
Feeling like there's no decisions, all our rights were never given
All the truths really well hidden, not to mention the division
Lenses messing with the vision, won't you show us all the mission, lord
Guide us on this journey
Feels like this nation's burning
I know you move in mysterious ways
Please hurry we are hurting
This a Prayer from Amerikkka
The red, white, and blue
This a Prayer from Amerikkka
God right now we need you
This a Prayer from Amerikkkaaa
This a Prayer from Amerikkka
Everyday I wake up I just see my people suffering
This nation doesn't love us, and the changes keep on buffering
The government stays talking, but on freedom they stay stuttering
Ameri-k-k-ka that's with three Ks, feels like they're running it
From the 75, it's where I grew up my whole life
And every year I got new teachers, but we never looked alike
And most my classmates, they were white
No they ain't love me, they ain't try
Besides a few good hearted folk, they tried to rob me of my light
I ain't never had a teacher tell me, son your futures bright
I ain't never had a coach to take the time to get me right
I ain't never felt so lost, my mom had cancer and I cried
I ain't never felt so loved, my moms still here, yea she survived
Might not have the government, but I know you are on our side
Livin in a broken system, but don't let them break our minds
Real riches reside within us, we just need to look inside
And we're meant to share our blessings, I give mine in every line, lord
Guide us on this journey
Feels like this nation burning
I know you move in mysterious ways
Please hurry we are hurting
This a Prayer from Amerikkka
The red, white, and blue
This a Prayer from Amerikkka
God right now we need you
This a Prayer from Amerikkkaaa
This a Prayer from Amerikkka
One more time before I go, I just gotta let you know
I thank you for the chances that you've given me to always grow
And placing me in darkness, so I now know how bright I can glow
And I thank you for the pain because the gains are here and now they show
I'm thankful, yes I'm grateful, but I say I still must pray
Yes I pray with all my heart, my God, that you will make a way
Pave the road to you so bright that all your people cannot stray
And I pray for when my kids are here they won't be modern slaves
I pray that they'll be brave and they will never fear a thing
Because I know that fear can stop us from achieving what is great
And I know that fear can yield us from us giving you all of your praise
But don't you that we are scared, cuz we've been hurt too many days
Why they acting like we're lesser, but still fear us so they kill us
Why they acting like some animals, but still call us gorillas
Why's it hard for love and peace, but not the hatred to stay filled up
So my prayer from Ameri-k-k-ka is won't you heal us, lord
Guide us on this journey
Feels like this nation burning
I know you move in mysterious ways
Please hurry we are hurting
This a Prayer from Amerikkka
The red, white, and blue
This a Prayer from Amerikkka
God right now we need you
This a Prayer from Amerikkkaaa
This a Prayer from Amerikkka
