​ghosts Lyrics by .HENRY319

ghosts

2020

[Chorus]
And I can hear the ghosts with every step that they can’t take
Lips closed but the words spoke in my head

[Verse 1]
I wonder how it feels when the last sound you hear was a siren
And that’s before paramedics arrivin’
And I’ve been tryna find a fucking reason to survive
In a life of crying, police crimes, before I’m 25
This generations expiration is up in a couple days
But I’ll be damned if my fucking grave will read today
So Mr. Floyd hope you watch over your daughter
They gon’ feel the karma for these manslaughters
Taken a fam’s father
Breonna or Ahmaud
4-0-1 years and blacks still need to runaway?
“But we abolished the slaves”, they say, “Racism’s dead”
Yet they run like a race in 'em, cause they can’t erase the race in 'em
Why the hell they ain’t facin’ a trial for a face in a tree
Or a knee on a man as he squeals, “I can’t breathe”
They kill us on our knees, but throw a fit for air full of fists
And to these capitalists it’s time to meet the kneecap of Kaepernick

[Chorus]
And I can hear the ghosts with every step that they can’t take
Lips closed but the words spoke in my head

[Verse 2]
Shot cold in the summer, cause the police holdin heat
From Autumn trees, the leaves’ll fall on the street, as we sing, "blood on the leaves."
How many Nina Simones, till they leave our niñas alone?
So many moments of silence, you’d think the world couldn’t speak
Can’t expect peace and quiet, when they got pieces to keep us quiet
Even with this Coronavirus inciting tyrant, we gon’ always riot
There’s a long road ahead
Every activist knows this ain’t the half of it
And I say these cops ain’t bastards, cause a bastard happens by accident
They enlist in a force, they listen and learn a force, that enforces a system
A weapon of choice that was built to destroy, knowing the law will forgive them
Ignorance is bliss, words of a devils kiss, so they praise how they livin
Now did I describe a criminal or was it just the justice system?
From the land where the sun shined
They learned of the demon of time
Do you die or comply?
It doesn’t take long for a raisin to dry
We look at the story of earth, we learn the dark were the ultralight beam
And in the nightmares of a king, even Martin could still have a dream
