Ashes Lyrics by Uzuhan

Buford Highway

2021

[Intro]
When's it all gonna change on me?
Check, okay

[Verse 1]
This a topic I didn’t wanna touch
We’re so used to being painted with a broad brush
There's a lot of anger boiling in this pot
Look, I don’t have the answers
But it’s time we talked about us
There’s a lost trust we can see it’s tangible
I don’t trust you and you don’t trust me so we keep it all casual
Maybe it’s just easier to keep it moving
You do you and I’ll do me. It’s all Gucci
We don’t gotta cross paths or look at each other
No need to pay attention to your struggle
I’m busy getting mine so I pay you no mind
As long as I’m quiet I’ll be doing just fine
I know it’s taboo to rock the boat like this
But it’s time to rip the scalеs out from our eye lids
In order to build a bеtter future for our kids
We need to take an honest look at all of our shit

[Chorus: Sarah Kang, Uzuhan & Sarah Kang, Uzuhan]
There’s a ring around the have-nots
They laugh while you dance like a mascot
Ashes, Ashes
We all fall down
They consider you a Sasquatch
Don’t worry, thy pocket’s full of cash crops
Ashes, Ashes
We all fall down (Okay)

[Verse 2: Uzuhan]
Ignorance begets more ignorance
Respect has to go both ways
Why minimize a people for an argument’s sake?
How’d we learn to hate a person by the shade of their face?
I’m shaking my head
This scarcity mindset's about to kill us all
Plus the goofy ones weaponize the word of God
Y’all wanna play oppression olympics
Fine. But don’t ever say you care for my village
Don’t act like you care for my healing
I don’t see the receipts, your paper trail’s like a cat on a leash
If you can’t see a problem I’ll just hold my peace
Every auntie beat down on the cold concrete
Is a travesty no matter how you try to spin it
Some says “it’s not a big deal, it’s only been this year”
I understand they have to be extreme to get a point across
Downplay our history to lift a burning cross

[Chorus: Sarah Kang, Uzuhan & Sarah Kang, Uzuhan]
There’s a ring around the have-nots
They laugh while you dance like a mascot
Ashes, Ashes
We all fall down
They consider you a Sasquatch
Don’t worry, thy pocket’s full of cash crops
Ashes, Ashes
We all fall down (Okay)

[Bridge: Uzuhan, Uzuhan & Sarah Kang]
Ashes, Ashes, Ashes
We all fall, We all fall, We all fall down
Ashes, Ashes, Ashes
We all fall, We all fall, We all fall down (Check, okay, yeah)

[Verse 3: Uzuhan]
Is it justice for all or just the optics?
Keep on opting for options
With guap in its pockets
But I can’t seem to shake off this strange little feeling
Our stories aren’t appealing
Well, who am I kidding?
Why’d I need their approval to tell me what I should do
The conditioning is baked-in, a lot to undo
Waiting for the powers that be to tell us how to think
Money grabbers use our struggles for their marketing schemes
I’ve been mocked at, so I talk back with a riddle
Don’t you speak to me like all the other people you’ve belittled
I can finally breathe and take my space
Planted both of my feet, now I’m proud of my place
But it’s “Parasite” playing out in real time
We’re fortifying walls, drawing real lines
I’m not choosing an agenda, these are real lives
I’m trying to reconcile, and give a real try
