Correction Lyrics Wild in the Streets by Jon Connor

Lyrics

Every human has a voice
Every human has a choice
We all was meant to share this planet
But it all starts with understanding
I wish it could all be so easy
Wake me up from the nightmare on the TV
All the pain, the anxiety and hurt
For the world to change, we have to change first

Every day, feel like I'm supressin' my feelings
Like I've been sentenced to pay a penance to people who for some reason hate my existence
They put us in ghettos and we embraced it
Makin' the most out of a f**ked up situation
And you got the nerve to be racist? It's funny
Controlling my education, religion, and money
All we got is pride left and you focused on taking that from me
The picture gets clearer when you feelin' like you at your safest
It's still racist when you ain't in our faces and call us a n***a
It's in the look, it's in the tone
It's when you say "All lives matter" as a way to justify police doing wrong
I know you hate it, but until black lives matter?
sh*t, "All lives matter" is a false statement
All I want between you and I is to peacefully unify
Look at the truth from my point of view
And then you decide: who are you inside?
You mean you like seeing humans shootin' and lootin' awry for dudes who got brutalized?
We all done caught a bad one
Lookin' around at all this chaos, Colin Kaepernick
Takin' that knee don't seem that bad, huh?
And now there's screaming in the streets
No, don't give me no brick to throw 'cause what we out here screaming for is peace
I wasn't even a teen when I seen what happened to Rodney King
My niece, Navaya, just turned eleven and now she seeing the same thing
We just tryin' to break the cycle by addressing what we seeing
And me and Webby just an example that we all on the same team
