How Many More
Lyrics
How many more, before enough is enough
How many more, aint lucky enough
How many more before we say enough is enough
How many more get away with murder no cuff
How many more we just gon say not lucky enough
How many more before we call the bluff...
Black manshot running
How'd they respond?
Must of had his mouth running
So it ain't wrong
Why we thinking it's a win They finally got convicted
What about 2 months where
Where nobody care it's in the air
No one there til' the video airs
Mother lost her child
Only justice in the prayer
And yiu can't even dare
To see the truth when it's clear
Look beyond the screen
To the people in tears
Look behind the hashtag
What you see
See a man who has friends
And some dreams
But you put him in a black bag
Hear the screams
Bring every race a Flashback
And Never peace
How many more before we say enough is enough
How many more get away with murder no cuff
How many more we just gon say not lucky enough
How many more before we call the bluff!
How many more before we say enough is enough
How many more get away with murder no cuff
How many more we just gon say not lucky enough
How many more before we call the bluff...
Why we got people in a box, unpack it
Hiding prejudice in statements that are covered in blankets
Tell people of privilege that they don't really have it
Put diversity in pictures just so we can mask it
Segregated culture racism as an asterisk
Buried in the feed hashtag the new casket
Color coding people in a box like a rubics
Tell em who they are, systematic influence
See you draw the red line, saw the headline
Got you thinking that you know the truth
You been fed lies
Getting tired white Christians Choosing to deny
That they puffed with pride and it's costing lives
I been pointing fingers but I know I'm complicit
System gave me more then it did my bro's and sisters
Taking Martin's dream Looking more like a vision
True unity coming the day we stepping in the kingdom
How many more of us, have to die?
How many more of us, have to continue to live in oppression?
How many more?
This Gospel, the Kingdom, must be preached
To all the world as a testimony
As a call for justice... As a call for mercy
Sitting in our knees praises to the ceiling
Asking him for peace never leave the buidling
While communities and see us as the villain
Love em with humility then we taking the commission
Man thats never been the mission
Feeling like we missed it
Great commission ain't a paycheck
You Saying say less
Keep your hands up out the the dirt
less you wearing latex
If You sleep on them. he'll sleep on you
Like play next
You been Quoting MLK thats a fake flex
If he was living you'd be tweeting at him fake facts
Saying Aye man (Amen) "shut up preach the gospel"
Attitude like that man I promise it will cost you
See the Gospel more then filling spiritual needs
He said get up off your knees and just go and be the peace
Sit down with your brother, say nothing and grieve
They suffocating in this culture saying "I can't breathe"
I'm resonating white culture saying "why can't we"
Recognize the pain join em like a hyphen, see
The church should be a bridge like it's always meant to be
But we avoid the issue and just leave em there to bleed...
How many more before we say enough is enough
How many more get away with murder no cuff
How many more we just gon say not lucky enough
How many more before we call the bluff...
How many more have do die...
Jesus came to preach freedom to the oppressed
It's time, for the Church, to rise up
And speak to the powers a be
And say "How many more?"
We came to decree and declare today, that enough is enough
