paroles de chanson Bronzeville Blues - LeSage.Williams

Y-yeah yeah yeah
Y-yeah yeah yeah

Teacher asked me "what you wanna be when you grown up?"
I told her with the straightest face "a power ranger"
She laughed and said "you know that's not reality"
I said it has to be because my hood's in danger
Every day, every night, flashing lights, loss of life
Shit. change the vibe yeah
Every day, every night, flashing lights, loss of life Yeah
Summer time but the streets are filled with cold hearts
We try to get around knowing it's a slow start
Just a kid with dreams of being a hero
They're marking you an easy target
Like a free throw
Black palms like I fell in the dirt, yeah yeah
Why do boys have to hide their hurt? Yeah yeah
No plans on cashing out that way
Fingers crossed, I can make that change

Would you run away if I told you where I stay?
The whole country thinks we're dangerous
I got too much shit to do than to try and convince you
You say sorry but that ain't enough, no no

Sirens can't stop blaring
When the temperatures are flaring
Who can hear us when we're crying for help?
Yeah the people have the power
But the opps are in their towers
Looking down on us with hands on their belts
I can't give up on my home
Sometimes I feel so alone
We put our hands on our hips
Police man wanna empty the clip
Walkin walkin walkin past the waves of that LSD
I love Lucy and she loves me
Got time on my hands like 1, 2, 3
I put on my cape and I fly full speed
I wonder what my teacher would think of me
That lanky lil pup from the 773, yeah

Would you run away if I told you where I stay?
The whole country thinks we're dangerous
I got too much shit to do than to try and convince you
You say sorry but that ain't enough
Yeah yeah yeah
