Stephanie McKay - Tell It Like It Is lyrics

rate me

People everywhere so disillusioned of the way the world is today Everybody's talking 'bout who did what to who How and when it got that way I'm looking for an answer Sometimes I want to quit but I still got to try when I see a baby girl caught up in that world it brings a tear to my eye She may not want to hear what i got to say I was guilty of making that same mistake standing here trying to tell her what its about Does she hear me I remember his name from back in the day Holding me huggin me loving just the same Used to swear that I was his only one Then I gave him some and it was done I tell it like it is (tell it like it is ooh ooh) Tell it like it is (Oh oH Oh Oh Oh I got to Tell it like it is) OH I got to tell it like it is (Tell it like it is ooh ooh ooh) Tell it like it is OH OH Oh Oh tell it like it is Read it in the paper a young brother with a bright future's been shot and killed Saw it on the news a brothers been accused How's that supposed to make me feel pain deep in my heart God please hear my cry When I see a young brother lost in the world It brings a tear to my eye You may not want to hear what i got to say but I witness the same old things everyday Precious lies, family ties being thrown away Do you feel me I remember the good times from back in the day laughing joking thought it would never change Mothers cry, children die this is not the way Now we're putting flowers at his grave I’ll Tell it like it is (tell it like it is ooh oh ooh) I'm gonna tell it like it is (Oh oh oh Tell it like it is) Oh I 've got to tell it like it is (Tell it like it is oooh ooh oh) I'm gonna tell it like it is Tell it like it is (Thanks to sarah for these lyrics)
