paroles de chanson I'll Tell You - Melody Angel

Don't tell me how it was
I'll tell you how it is
I'm speaking bout the times
The one I'm living in
Don't tell me how it was, I'll tell you how it is

The man come knocking on my door
Rose my rent too high
So I would have to move out, so the man could gentrify
If I had equal pay I could stay, but the system only works one way

Don't tell me how it was
I'll tell you how it is
I'm speaking bout the times
The one I'm living in
Don't tell me how it was, I'll tell you how it is

Old ratty books and leaky roof, thats how to describe all of our schools
Shiny and new is the other kind, cross town they livin' another life
If I had it my way it would change, but the system only works one way

Don't tell me how it was
I'll tell you how it is
I'm speaking bout the times
The one I'm living in
Don't tell me how it was, I'll tell you how it is

Unfairly excused sitting in this jail
I wanna go home but can't pay bail
If you're poor and you're black, they put you on the prison track
So many of us fall through this crack
If I had it my way it would change, but the system only works one way

Don't tell me how it was
I'll tell you how it is
I'm speaking bout the times
The one I'm living in
Don't tell me how it was, I'll tell you how it is

Don't tell me how it was
I'll tell you how it is
I'm speaking bout the times
The one I'm living in
Don't tell me how it was, I'll tell you how it is
