Lyrics Pour One Out - Mazbou Q

Please pour one out for me
If I don't wake up from sleep
The sun will go about its business
I hope it has some light for me
Oh, please pour one out for me
If I don't wake up from sleep
Lord, take me up into Heaven
Where I can abide in peace
But I can't abide in peace
I can't abide in peace
I can't abide in peace

I'm grateful that I saw the dawn
Even just briefly
I thank God that the earth still beneath me
I'm prayin' that my mama never have to grieve me
A lotta figures would give anything to be me
And prolly walk a mile in my shoes real easy
Whenever my motherland knows war
My mouth goes dry and my gut's so sore
Peep the news, but the twitter feed shows more
I scream all the pain away, behind a closed door
Scared that my soul is pickin' up and bad omens
Eyes get exposed to so many last moments
Homies ask how you doin' and how you copin'
I don't even know, just pop that thing open
Then I just think 'bout how we on stolen land
And who got robbed for my phone in hand?
Who worked to death my clothing brands?
And how the can you own a man?

I hear 'em callin'
There's pain in the atmosphere
The rain just keeps falling
Where can we go from here

Please pour one out for me
If I don't wake up from sleep
The sun will go about its business
I hope it has some light for me
Oh, please pour one out for me
If I don't wake up from sleep
Lord, take me up into Heaven
Where I can abide in peace
But I can't abide in peace
I can't abide in peace
I can't abide in peace
I can't abide in peace

Listen
I never really been afraid to get real
Never layers that I wouldn't let peel
Never had to trip about the next deal
Never had to think of how to get steel
And steal cos my kids are worried bout the next meal
Yo, don't get it twisted
This ain't a flex
It's a nod to my privilege
Stayin' in check
Some weaponize
And muzzle the claim of debt
Some fetishize the struggle and pain instead
But

I hear 'em calling
There's pain in the atmosphere
The rain just keeps falling
Where can we go from here

Please pour one out for me
If I don't wake up from sleep
The sun will go about its business
I hope it has some light for me
Oh, please pour one out for me
If I don't wake up from sleep
Lord, take me up into Heaven
Where I can abide in peace

Lord, please pour one out for me
If I don't wake up from sleep
The sun will go about its business
I hope it has some light for me
Lord, please pour one out for me
If I don't wake up from sleep
Lord, take me up into Heaven
Where I can abide in peace
But I can't abide in peace
I can't abide in peace
Lord, I can abide in peace
