Lyrics
Woo Um Bittersweet chocolate optimism Afros and futurism Impracticalities and casualties that bang religion Gang sh*t, squad Tangible perceptions come with names like God Lovely apathy for all my n***as Notice how it's me now Comercial cynicism Media [?] My struggles to put my weave down Waves trending on the beach now our own sun like you do like you do This little light of mine This little metaphor for summertime And half the time that takes to say hello to you As ghetto [?] I fail to accuse Politics masquerade the petty laws they approve Oh, phenomenon, the black kid [?] From my mama's [?] I'll sing a song for you My soul committed, [?] afterlife Half the price of yesterday A penny for your sorrow Canary yellow diamond [?] I'll take the sun and make a pillow for tomorrow Illuminate a dream Let us go to a place away from here My dear, my love Where the music sounds like Georgia And all we have is our piano and a bedroom And all we have is our capacity for love Potentially We could build a galaxy This you-and-I-verse could be More than just the dreams of the living I could see the you in me So let's keep giving to the stars I know that I could take you far Far, far away from here Where we should be U-N-I-T-Y Where we should be U-N-I-T-Y, that's a unity Where we should be U-N-I-T-Y You and me U-N-I-T-Y, that's a unity The man rose, little concrete roads Put your hands together, folks, for the black roach 'Bout to deliver like Stagecoach Know I stay posted, my n***a (that was it), yo, what's the signs? My fountain of youth is all drying, one minute, we all smiling Then poof, we fall silent and I've been digging deep For this thing, I ain't finding this Either I'm insane in my brain or to be honest, that's Probably what it is Done seen a lot of sh*t that you probably can't live with You probably can't stomach, you probably can't ingest At times, we were so hungry, got mad dreams and wishes It'll all get sunny, but for now it's this money that Determines and divides, that's insuring our lives Even causing homicides on the streets of NY A little shorty asked me what's my purpose and why? I told him save the children and point them right at the light He said for sure, that's tight, but where the dollar signs in that Them hella fine dimes with that ass so fat That Phantom and the Maybach, that black MAC that go crick-crack That's when I say yo, chill, shorty, relax Let me open your mind to the current times If visions is colourblind, it's fine, your light will still shine as I consume this time he begin to unravel And travel to a place he thought that he would never find, uh Bittersweet chocolate optimism My mission give him something that won't lock him in a prison Misled by they religion Do you believe in the god? But most certainly I just can't see him with my eyes Smoke sixteen eyes could barely open them up I see [?] is A vacuum down my element But it go [?] suck more Haters killed another one, I'm thinking what the f**k for Too many bloodshed, too much is done said And now I'm upset, I could use a sunset Looking on the upside, hoping it gets better Enemy time is the woman we done weather in U-N-I-T-Y U-N-I-T-Y, that's a unity U-N-I-T-Y U-N-I-T-Y, that's a unity Potentially We could build a galaxy This you-and-I-verse could be More than just the dreams of the living I could see the you in me So let's keep giving to the stars I know that I could take you far Far, far away from here Where we should be Where we should be Where we should be You and me What do we do? We got a duty, gotta say What do we do? We got a duty, gotta save, ayy What do we do? We got a duty, gotta say These are the days that we pray for love Oh, I wonder, wonder, wonder: where is love? What do we do? We got a duty, gotta say What do we do? We got a duty, gotta save, ayy What do we do? We got a duty, gotta say These are the days that we pray for love Oh, I wonder, wonder if it's up above (Like that? Uh) Like that, y'all-y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all Y'all-y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all Y'all, badman and ting Badman ah gwan Badman gon' sing, yo Badman ah Badman do Badman fi do Badman do, yeah Yeah What?
