Lyrics

Here we are
Shooting stars
Flashing Lights
Shiny Cars
This is life
We
Working hard
And now we don't know
what to do with it all
We about to turn the lights out in America
Got the apple pie now you gotta marry her
Work until you die cause you can't embarrass her
We about to turn the lights out in America
Turn the lights out in America
I cut my losses
Cutting up with these bosses
That come and see me so often
The mind control is what I'm lost in
Cold
Cold consciousness
Cold like winters in Boston
The coldest winter like coughing
The one they carry you off in
Can't give no offering, but make it rain at the office
Arguing with these bouncers now pressure is what you caught in
But you do no talking just take aim and lock it
Let bullet rain on your target in rain on whoever walking
Oh miss America
Why do we build these barriers
Why does it seem so scary for anybody who cares for you
Who has been there for you building railroads and burials
Brick by brick and scenarios no one wants to prepare for you and
Who makes it clear for you when you can see who hears for you
Break me down I still share with you break my heart I still care for you
And now we don't know what to do with it all
You see I have
Always been a lonely roller
Need an iPad so I can FaceTime you more closer
See what I had popping is a little bit more older
Crying real life on the shoulders moving mountains and boulders
And for the ranges and rovers I see why people have chose her
But till the story is over I give my life like a soldier
For lady liberty to step on my dreams
And that Gucci dress on time magazine
Here we are
Shooting stars
Flashing Lights
Shiny Cars
This is life
We
Working hard
And now we don't know
What to do with it all
We about to turn the lights out in America
Oh
Got the apple pie now you gotta marry her
Oh
Work until you die cause you can't embarrass her
Oh
We about to turn the lights out in America
Turn the lights out in America
There is a feeling of being free
That some people just can't believe
I ain't talking about what we see
Or was pushed to us on TV
Free
Really open
To move and do as you please
I know one day we'll be gone but just call me before you leave
I plant my feet in the soil just like a seed
Whole planet's asleep but my homie can catch a Z before
Lady liberty come step on his dreams
From that time and place on time magazine
Things are not what they seem we come apart at the seams
Please don't think you can love me because my shirt isn't clean
And if you look at my life
You'll see I have an a thing
But till the rivers run dry
I'll give it off of my team
So tell me what do you mean
When people judge me and look at me like a freak
I won't hesitate to tell you I'm King
I come with all that it brings
You can count on it
Counting revenue streams
While they tell us our own story on screens
I don't need you to talk for me homie do it for small girls
And if you got love for these women have it for all girls
Do it for the short thick skinny and tall girls
And when they're not around
Don't change the name that you call girls
Cause you know the rich
Keep getting richer the poor can make a sound
The buildings keep getting bigger and further off from the ground
Til Miss America start tearing them down
I wrote this song bet she's loving me now
Here we are
Shooting stars
Flashing lights
Shiny cars
This is life
We working hard
And now we don't know what to do with it all
We about to turn the lights out in America
Oh
Got the apple pie now you gotta marry her
Oh
Work until you die because you can't embarrass her
Oh
We about to turn the lights out in America
Turn the light out in America
The riot will never end
The riot will never end oh
The riot will never end
The riot will never end oh
Snatched us from Africa but we didn't die there
Murderous middle passage but we didn't die there
Caskets in the Atlantic but we didn't die there
Shackled us when we landed
But we didn't die there planted all day tobacco
But we didn't die there they packed us like cattle
But we didn't die there took us from my mama's
But we didn't die there had
They wait with our mama's
While we were sitting right there
Gave our daddy them lashes
But we didn't die there had no idea we was planning
While they sitting right there
Thought we were singing and dancing
That's black shit right there
Til nat pulled up and blasted
That's that get back there
Ran into the night but we didn't die there
We ran for our lives but we didn't die there
We saved our daughters but we didn't die there
We waited in the water but we didn't die there
Took them losses on their farms
But we didn't die there burn them crosses on our lawns
But we didn't die there
Hit our churches with them bombs
But we didn't die there they chain ganged us for miles
But we didn't die there and if we honest
It took us a pandemic
And cancel concerts and games with no fans in it
And Derek Chauvin for eight and a half minutes
And all this marching to get you to stand with us
