The Statement Lyrics by Wordsmith

Perspective Jukebox

2017

The Statement
Written by Anthony Parker

Verse 1
Live in a time of straight sin we got black sheep that don’t fit in I’m like huhhh terrorists who wanna cut limbs don’t zoom in to my true lens these loose ends are too grim to just comprehend I’m like huhhh oh lord it’s getting worse cops out on that gang turf rich folks don’t share first got planned parents don’t need birth got prayers out and don’t see church hands up and they shoot first another young life in that black Hurst I’m too hurt I’m like huhhh…
Hook
Ya’ll better come my way, ya’ll better come way okay and say ya’ll better come my way I’m gonna make a statement day by day (2x)
Peace signs, peace signs up put em in the air and go rise up yeah (4x)

Verse 2
Live in a time in true greed we got kids here who can’t write and read I’m like huhhh disgust for that mistrust say one word and your handcuffed don’t call bluff and you’ll get struck and you’re in court like huhhh live life with no limits my way no gimmicks pro league no scrimmage crunch time and I finish I’m that superstar no blemish I just own this no tenant you that background no sentence I’m the statement good riddens

Hook
Ya’ll better come my way, ya’ll better come way okay and say ya’ll better come my way I’m gonna make a statement day by day (2x)
Peace signs, peace signs up put em in the air and go rise up yeah (4x)

Bridge
Stand up rise up peace signs up now whutsup (4x)

Verse 3
Live in a time of lost hope we got no ropes for that down slope we got many with plenty that say nope we got refugees on broke boats I’m like huhhhh real life with no TV millionaires stay greedy no love and there’s no grub we got the homeless saying feed me…

Hook
Ya’ll better come my way, ya’ll better come way okay and say ya’ll better come my way I’m gonna make a statement day by day (2x)
Peace signs, peace signs up put em in the air and go rise up yeah (4x)
