Knocking Lyrics by Emdee Wright

Poetic Motion

2019

[Verse 1: Emdee Wright]

I’m sorry momma, I never meant to hurt you
Come take away this badge, there’s things that I can’t undo
I wasn’t made for this life, heading to self-destruction
Cities are getting flat like breast reduction
Knock knock, picture this, black hoodie on
Bang bang, on the floor, lying down alone
Black lives matter, I mean all lives matter
But what we hear on tv is white lies brother


[Pre Chorus: Emdee Wright]

Committed sins that I’m ashamed
Guilty conscience I’m afraid
I don’t wanna do this
Come take this badge away
40 on my waist in front of heaven’s door
I don’t wanna shoot them anymore
Dark clouds in my vision
It’s getting too dark to see


[Chorus: Emdee Wright]

Knock, knock, knocking on heaven’s door
Gotta keep knocking
Knock, knock, knocking on
Knock, knock, knocking on
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven’s door
Knocking on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knocking on
Knock, knock, knocking on


[Verse 2: Emdee Wright]

Can we dream with a black eye
Better yet, i had a dream as black guy
Best believe is make believe, let me elaborate
Only a land full of promises when you cooperate
Call me Malcolm, call me king, or Colin Kapernick
They trynna make us dissapear like a magic trick
The world going crazy, like bad politics
Y'all too busy making it rain, that we evaporate


[Pre Chorus: Emdee Wright]

Committed sins that I’m ashamed
Guilty conscience I’m afraid
I don’t wanna do this
Come take this badge away
40 on my waist in front of heaven’s door
I don’t wanna shoot them anymore
Dark clouds in my vision
It’s getting too dark to see


[Chorus: Emdee Wright]

Knock, knock, knocking on heaven’s door
Gotta keep knocking
Knock, knock, knocking on
Knock, knock, knocking on
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven’s door
Knocking on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knocking on
Knock, knock, knocking on


[Bridge: Emdee Wright]

No I can’t, can’t go back
Can't go back and change the game
Oh oh oh
It’s not fair
No I can’t, can’t go back
Can't go back and change the game
Oh oh oh
So many memories, who’s to blame


[Chorus: Emdee Wright]

Knock, knock, knocking on heaven’s door
Gotta keep knocking
Knock, knock, knocking on
Knock, knock, knocking on
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven’s door
Knocking on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knocking on
Knock, knock, knocking on
