Promised Land Lyrics by Daniel Elia

2018

[Chorus]
They looking at us different, lord
Could it be the reason how they treat us, lord
I thought that we had freedom so we can control
The life we tryna live to receive your blessings lord
I’m not convinced by the way things go
Painting all these pictures they seem to come true
I’m stuck in mental prison I just need to escape
I’m thinking I would find a way
[Verse 1]
I’m the final boss you know you will end up facing
But real villains wearing suits called the politicians
Don’t like 'em at all don’t like their decision making
Racism is alive someone tell Ian MacDonald
Australia the promised land full of so many racists
Painting black faces then dancing to black music
When niggas get shot, watching 'em act they don’t know shit
No sympathy at all, would they stand and try to stop it?
When they do the crime, only count as individuals
When we do the crime you label us all as criminal
People suicide and they claim this city most livable
This was never your land you stole from aboriginals (aaah)
[Pre-Chorus]
I told you I know it very well
Is it a happy ending I won’t tell
The current situations unveils
The future might end up being hell
[Chorus]
They looking at us different lord
Could it be the reason how they treat us, lord
I thought that we had freedom so we can control
The life we tryna live receive your blessings lord
I’m not convinced the way things go
Painting all these pictures they seem to come true
I’m stuck in mental prison I just need to escape
I’m thinking I would find a way
[Verse 2]
What lies under the surface, is the truth we’ve been searching
For I can prove it if you would read the bible
But wait it was altered the more we grew conscious
Back when they would use it and they made us pray to Jesus
Only Christopher I acknowledge is really Wallace
Cause Jesus exist like the monsters in my closet
I don’t care for religion, it’s just a mental prison
They knew the power of belief it made us so
Conditioned to believe black skin was a sin
Forcing us to bleach just so we can fit in
Even though we pure cause we have melanin
And back in the pyramids when we were called kings
I thought I found peace maybe it only exists, within
Fighting with depression I thought I was gonna I win
But I lost one I’m learning from Lauryn Hill
‘Cause they miseducate us 'bout the beauty of black skin
[Pre-Chorus]
I told you I know it very well
Is it a happy ending I won’t tell
The current situations unveils
The future might end up being hell
[Chorus]
They looking at us different lord
Could it be the reason how they treat us, lord
I thought that we had freedom so we can control
The life we tryna live receive your blessings lord
I’m not convinced the way things go
Painting all these pictures they seem to come true
I’m stuck in mental prison I just need to escape
I’m thinking I would find a way
[Bridge]
I’m losing my patience
I don’t wanna do this no more
I really want to change it
I can’t wait to see things unfold
I’m losing my patience
I don’t wanna do this no more
I really want to change it
I can’t wait to see things unfold
[Outro]
I told you that I know it very well
