Lyrics
Sing it loud, sing it loud
till the angels hear my cry
No, I never want to say goodbye
No, I never want to say goodbye
Sing it loud, sing it loud
till the angels hear my cry
No, I never want to say goodbye
No, I never want to say goodbye
It’s all about the mind from the rhymes that I summon
I rise, kick down the door and then I come in
There are 2 sides to this story
Now there’s fun and then there’s serious
You say you’re scared of me, but it’s the police that put the fear in us
They say with devil eyes, but they don’t know none of us
They chucked us in a cage without a care or a fuss
How am I feeling safe while I’m chained and cuffed?
The pain enraged enough, this broken trust
Here I am, In front of your grave.
Standing here grieving, I’m feeling all the pain
the tears roll down my cheeks like rain
drops, with the mob we celebrate
the day you died, yeah that stuffed me up
I felt alone now I’m all messed up
All I had was you and now your gone
Ever since then my heart feels torn
Sing it loud, sing it loud
till the angels hear my cry,
No, I never want to say goodbye,
no, I never want to say goodbye.
Sing it loud, sing it loud
till the angels hear my cry,
No, I never want to say goodbye,
no, I never want to say goodbye.
Comparing the number of your loved ones
Is worse than comparing the number of your body count
People these days, its barely a conversation between two or more
It’s disgusting, now we ain’t discussing
Bodies dropping, is it the drugs, or the alcohol,
Mental health and racism
Doctors checking you for ADHD, Bi – Polar Disorder
Depression knocking on your door, dying inside you didn’t know, how do we know?
Suicide crossing their minds, pills popping, ropes hanging, murder spreading
Sing it loud, sing it loud
till the angels hear my cry
No, I never want to say goodbye
No, I never want to say goodbye
Sing it loud, sing it loud
till the angels hear my cry
No, I never want to say goodbye
No, I never want to say goodbye
