Cameron London, Jeff Payzos - The Last of Us Lyrics

I ask God to please guide me in a world so sinful
So I just go where the wind blow
Pour my heart out over the instrumental
To ease my mental, the evil that women and men do
So stupid and sinful
But we still here after all of things that we been through
It’s a war going on outside for real
Cops with riot shields cause violence kills
I understand why Kap kneels, a lot of people don’t
And as long as hate alive, a lot of people won’t
I’m a young black man on this wicked land
And sometimes I just don’t really give a d***
But no matter the circumstances, I still keep my head up
And I know it ain’t always easy being black in America
But no matter our color
Music connects one another
Like a blood sister or brother.
I know one day, it’s gone come a time
When we all can share the shine
We won’t be killing for reasons unknown
And we all can get along
But they don’t want to see it happen
They want us strung from a tree while they kids clapping
Smile in my face I can tell you acting
They ask how you want respect when you still rapping
Don’t preach peace to me when you kill us even when we move peacefully
I’ve seen graves for the kids that won’t get to see
Everything we fighting for cause the price ain’t free
I can’t put it lightly cause the pain too heavy
My existence in America is feeling deadly
But I was never safe
Your words empty posting pictures just to save face
Can’t be polite when you call for my death
All of the injustice standing by won't help
Silence speak loud enough to turn down the volume
Those that never cared your support is just a costume
I know one day, it’s gone come a time
When we all can share the shine
We won’t be killing for reasons unknown
And we all can get along
Can’t erase the history
It’s no mystery we just finally brought it to light
Been told I didn’t matter cause my skin not white
They told me don’t nobody care about a black man's life
Can’t erase the history
It’s no mystery we just finally brought it to light
Been told I didn’t matter cause my skin not white
They told me
I know one day, it’s gone come a time
When we all can share the shine
We won’t be killing for reasons unknown
And we all can get along

I ask God to please guide me in a world so sinful
So I just go where the wind blow
Pour my heart out over the instrumental
To ease my mental, the evil that women and men do
So stupid and sinful
But we still here after all of things that we been through
It’s a war going on outside for real
Cops with riot shields cause violence kills
I understand why Kap kneels, a lot of people don’t
And as long as hate alive, a lot of people won’t
I’m a young black man on this wicked land
And sometimes I just don’t really give a d***
But no matter the circumstances, I still keep my head up
And I know it ain’t always easy being black in America
But no matter our color
Music connects one another
Like a blood sister or brother.
I know one day, it’s gone come a time
When we all can share the shine
We won’t be killing for reasons unknown
And we all can get along
