High Sunday feat. D.J. Whisenant - BURN Lyrics

Lyrics BURN - High Sunday



We sick of bein' victims of a lesson never learned
And we don't ever get shit in return
We gotta let it... Burn
And we ain't ever gettin' heard
Never works when we tell 'em with our words
So we gotta let it... Burn
This ain't no Kumbaya
Tell 'em this shit ain't no Kumbaya, my Lord
This ain't no Kumbaya
I think we're done with all that Kumbaya
So we gotta let it... Burn
We hard wired to see flames and think bonfires
This smoke symbolizes exhaust 'cause we all tired
Ashes for the past, embers get lit to remember
Until the vendettas settled like the 5th of November
Nothing proven lootin' our own communities
So we moved it over to your community for those of you to see that
We don't just do this thing to ruin things, we showin' unity
Showin' you police if we wanted to we could rule the streets
We tried to drop a knee they said... don't do the knee
It's disrespectful to white Americans still cherishing how shit used to be
Used to be cool to just go and cruise on a shootin' spree
Brutally hunt a black dude, shoot him and after, you went free
Truth is that used to be cool with you so you don't have a say in how I choose to lose my cool
You lost your "cool" degree
Fuck a coup de gras, we callin' for you to bleed
Eye for an eye, havin' one's enough for you to see
We sick of bein' victims of a lesson never learned
And we don't ever get shit in return
We gotta let it... Burn
And we ain't ever gettin' heard
Never works when we tell 'em with our words
So we gotta let it... Burn
This ain't no Kumbaya
Tell 'em this shit ain't no Kumbaya, my Lord
This ain't no Kumbaya
I think we're done with all that Kumbaya
So we gotta let it... Burn
To the creators of fires from flesh unrecognizable to your own
In all of you violent and foolish intentions
Please recognize you are burning the blood of the phoenix
Always reborn, always risen from wildfire
I mean do you not know that choking us with your flame and fear
Results in your suffocation?... From our ashes
And when the ashes settle rebuild, reform done with back peddlin'
We ready, we weathered the storm, nothing's accidental
Anybody left behind, we comin' back to get you
And never again use this American flag against you
My fam no longer grabbin' cameras we grabbin' pistols
Until the misuse of power and all harrassment is through
So long as they about that bull, we fully 'bout the shits too
Wakanda symbol uplifts like the Black Panther fist do
Glad to see a whole gaggle of nationalities understanding what "black lives matter" means
Mutual back scratching feeds unconditional love, that's Family
Fast track to peace, it's the reason we actin' out 'cause we
We sick of bein' victims of a lesson never learned
And we don't ever get shit in return
We gotta let it... Burn
And we ain't ever gettin' heard
Never works when we tell 'em with our words
So we gotta let it... Burn
This ain't no Kumbaya
Tell 'em this shit ain't no Kumbaya, my Lord
This ain't no Kumbaya
I think we're done with all that Kumbaya
So we gotta let it... Burn
