Raheem Devaughn - My Plea feat Rasheed Chappell lyrics

rate me

Oh, city is occupied while my soul is vacant

People are screaming change, but nothing’s changing

Instead we’re fighting wars on foreign soil

Domestic terror over Saudi oil

You see the crime shit, the hurricanes,

The earthquakes, like the world in pain

Reaching.. scripture, claiming the last days

Strange phenomenon, we just can’t explain!

With social media is like we lost touch

So we Google search, trying to find love

Just an aberration, the thought of peace

While the poor famine, the rich feast

They close schools and the build prisons

City is occupied, while the soul is vacant

People are screaming change, but nothing’s changing

Instead we’re fighting wars on foreign soil

Domestic terror over Saudi oil

You see the crime shit, the hurricanes,

The earthquakes, like the world in pain

Reaching.. Scripture, claiming the last days

Strange phenomenon, we just can’t explain!

With social media is like we lost touch

So we Google search, trying to find love

Just an aberration, the thought of peace

While the poor famine, the rich feast

They close schools and the build prisons

The …eyes is your word’s vision

They playing politics, call it democracy

It’s corporate sponsored, a mockery

The generations, yeah we all divided

Left wing, right wing, and the undecided

We need a radical change in people’s attitude

So either stand up now or they gonna saddle you

Would you’d rather be dancing

Making love, something, something better with your life!

Hey world, maybe we lost our souls with wealth and distribution

Calling this entertainment trapped in this illusion

I’m … I think I’m in OK

And I’m going, going, going off

The prison system, that’s a holocaust

Deceptions, got our babies lost

Complexions, got our ladies lost

Yeah we keep it gangster and keep it boss

But we killing our people is it worth the cost?

They dream killers, they imitators

Radio won’t let us but we are gorillas

It’s hard to watch the… when I’m watching the clock

I have a vest at the crib and a loaded …

Bang, bang bang…

If you ain’t got nothing to die for then tell me what you got

So we pray to the Lord and make…

This is my PSA for every hood and block

Either you activist or you pacifist

In the heart of the youngest is where the passion is

And my rhyme requires the survival,

Sick of the.. and we’re tired of being lied to…
