aaron abernathy - children of the city lyrics

[verse 1]
with their foggy intuition
they’re forced to make big decisions
that lead to m-ssive collisions
all because they’re not condition
on how to play this game
and for years it’s remain the same
yeah yeah yeah yeah
you know that it’s a shame
that they treat black human beings this way
so i fall on my knees and pray

[chorus]
’cause i know
lost souls trying to find their way
before the lord brings the judgment day
and these political crooks and pharisees
with dirty looks are slain
and i hope we’re all trying to find a way
to shuffle all the cards we’ve been dealt to play
i hope the lord hears my prayer today
and remembers the children of the city

[verse 2]
lord don’t let me backslide
on the east side of cleveland we ride
to thugs & harmony
me and scott mescudi, used to listen to tribe
pushing my daddy’s ride
son of larry’s alive
and he’s breathing
yeah i’m still here i’m still cleveland
a messenger for my people
you know the people
the victims of systemic evil
and it’s been going on for centuries
that white supremacy
that no equality
that store clerk in the store that follows me
along with police brutality
and we’re fed up
and all lives matter is a setup
just like our schools with dated books
produce crooks that played hooky
and now they’re out to get your daughter’s goodies
we all know the system failed them
wouldn’t excel them
they’d rather break them down and jail cell them

[bridge]
black king, you better wear your crown
black queen, please know i worship the ground
that you walk on
don’t let the man bring you down
black people said we gotta be proud
lord have mercy
to be young, gifted, and black
they can’t stop that, lord knows
with god on our side
they can’t stop us
yeah
