alfred tembo - words to consider lyrics

i’m just sitting in my room, and thinking
and um, i realized something
it’s true (it’s true)
they don’t know
tell me, how we gon’ grow, if we keep tearing each other down?
that’s like
that’s like planting a seed and not giving it water, like what?
what are you tryna accomplish?
what are we, tryna accomplish?
’cause we’ve been fighting for peace for so long
and there’s still black bodies and blood, all over the streets
that’s heavy
y’all don’t see that?
and i know we’re making progress but i’m sorry
slow progress ain’t it
equality, justice, peace, freedom
that’s what we long for
that’s what we need

see i’m, tryna get the words out my mind
and it’s dark so i’ll open the blinds
but when i look outside, all the time, that’s a risk that i take and i don’t wanna die (d+mn)
blink once if you’re scared for your life
blink twice if you’re dying tonight
three times if you know that you can’t be out past nine without begging for your life, uh
it’s a reality, and i don’t understand why it has to be
world so cold, it’s a tragedy
why my skin gotta turn into a casualty? (tell ’em)
begging for a chance to breathe
can’t even take a jog on the street
can’t even sleep at home peacefully
can’t walk home without you attacking me (r.i.p)
time for introspection, learn the lesson
you don’t gotta be aggressive
put the gun away, we can solve it
you don’t gotta shoot, got a kid in the back
now she gonna grow up without a dad
messed up a life and you don’t give a cr+p
now she gonna live in this cold, cold world
and she don’t got a dad that can say he got her back
now she gotta live with that, yeah
now she gotta live with that, d+mn
yo, that was heavy
let’s keep going
people be silent when it’s time to fight
loud through the day, but they’re quiet at night
no time to hang, but they mean no time with you
now you look like a fool
change like the seasons
and they ain’t giving no reason
they change like the seasons
and they ain’t giving no reason
keep to yourself, at times its good for your health
they’ll tell you that you are wrong until all your faith is gone
alone, that’s how they want you to live (that’s how they want you to live)
come on, you got way more to give, yes
care for yourself, that’s what you do when there’s n0body else (there’s n0body else)
you gotta be strong, n0body gon’ help you so carry on
but it ain’t all bad, the good times they come but so do the bad
life is a struggle, so keep on going
you gotta hustle
change like the seasons (they changing, they changing, they changing)
and they ain’t giving no reasons
they change like the seasons
and they ain’t giving no reasons

you are strong
you are beautiful
you are smart
you are brave
you are worthy
you are powerful
you are
a vibe
