Angels Lyrics by Cory Lyons

2020

(Verse 1)

This Revenge of the adolescent dreamer
Yea I Finally got ya
Gotta find a way to keep ya
My Head is on a swiffle
Black man in American
Shoot you down for running
And exercising your character
God forbid
I twist my hair or put in some braids
Walk inside a grocery store
They all up in ya space
In between isles
Making sure you pay
But sir it's 22 degrees outside
And all I got is my hoodie
And some skittles
Why you pull a gun on me
Hoping you don’t pull that trigger
I ain't no ordinary nigga
I got a family
And a job
I gotta provide
Peoples dependence is on me
Why you wanna go and take my life
I don't know why
Is it the color of my skin
Or the way I do my hair
Is my nose too big
I don’t know why
Do I talk to loud
Or walk with too much pride
Do you believe in god?
I don't why

(Chorus)

Sleep well
Sleep well
Sleep well
My angel





(Verse 2)

How you wantin me to act
When it taken social media
To get you to react
It's a fact that I'm black
But do my rights not match
Does my heart not beat?
Don't my kids need snacks
Something else I'd like to mention
When you speaking to me
Look me in my eyes
Give the respect you seek
And does it really matter
If my wife is white, Chinese, Black or Mexican
To make her the girl of my dreams
I guess the 21st
Beginning to be
A repeat of history
They tryna do it discrete
All I know is I'm willing to die
For what i believe
Notice how
Casting directors
Always tryna give me
The role
Of an angry black man
To play on tv
The brainwashing
Of generations
Coming up behind me
Open conversations
Painting a picture
So you can see
That we should all
Have the right to breathe
And be free
We won't let you take it from us
Im ain’t Lookin for no trouble
But it seems this is a war
So until you understand
We will keep takin a stand
Come together
Manage the damage
That’s not part of the plan

(Chorus)

Sleep well
Sleep well
Sleep well
My angel
