Salvation Lyrics by TIAYL

2018

(We come from kings and queens)

[Intro]
This is a trigger warning
This is a trigger warning
This is a trigger warning
This is a trigger warning

This is a warning that the next song contains lyrics on:
Rape, forced incest, slavery, oppression, racism

It's not wrong if you have to skip the next track and come back
And it's not wrong if you have to skip the next track and come back
When you're ready
On your timing
When you're ready
On your timing

This is a trigger warning
This is a trigger warning

This is a warning that the next song is triggering

[Pre-Chorus}

Easy
They never said it would be
Easy
No one told us
Black love was easy

[Chorus]

Yet here we are tryna work it out
Still here tryna work it out
They never thought we could work it out
They never wanted us to work it out

They said love wasn't for us baby
That we could never comprehend such things
That we were merely animals, not beings

[Verse 1]

Well
I come from woman who
Tends to that land, next to man
But's reminded that
She's just a woman
By forceful dick
And
That woman
Who'd kill her kid
Than see them live a slave

[Verse 2]

You come from man
Who have been forced to fuck
And be fucked
Against your will
In front your child
With
Your child
Or with your mama
And aunty too
Mentally they break you down
And take your spirit too
But keep your body for good use
The strongest
The leanest
Keep them - but
Break them down
Keep them down
Make an example to show them all

[Chorus]

Yet here we are tryna work it out
Look at us tryna work it out
They never thought we could work it out
(They never said it)
They never wanted us to work it out
You best believe we gonna work it out
(They never said it)
Against the odds we choose to work it out
(They never said it would be)
You and me we gonna work it out
(They never said it)
The two of us gotta work it out
(They never said it)
Despite our history, we'll work it out
(Easy)
Yeah, we'll work it out
(They never said it would be)
Everyday we choose to work it out
(Easy)
Because we deserve to work it out
(They never said it)

Kings and Queens we will work it out
(Easy)
Kings and queens we gotta work it out
All my people, we gotta work it out
(Easy)
We deserve to work it out
(They never said it would be)
We gotta work it out
Work it out
(They never said it)

[Bridge]

Love itself has no color
But you and me we do
And there's trauma and complexity from our history
Yeah it's true
Yet we choose to love
We still choose to love
