muslim belal - run lyrics

run lyrics
[hook]
run with me, street runners we run free
like a waving flag on a ship at sea
yesterday that was us, tomorrow you’ll see

[verse]
face of the news
he just wants to run a mile or two
tied laces in these old shoes, running in the night breeze
shuffling leaves under the feet, they just fell from the trees
they armour their guns, he’s just tryna cleanse his lungs
what a life, this is my last run
call this oppression, terrorist aggression
racist obsession
this became my run to heaven
the final lap, one single tap
cause life to an end, goodbye to a friend
they told us run one a day
now i should never run again
i was supposed to fly, that was not for you to decide
they left him dead on the floor
stopped a heart that was pure
running ain’t safe no more
saddest part is, if the video wasn’t shared
n0body would’ve seen, known or cared
and they could’ve run free
i guess it’s the end of the run for me
till we meet again and every man must stand and account for his deeds
yesterday i run, today i fly
i ain’t afraid of heights, meet me in the sky
forward a couple weeks, there’s another him
that’s another you, that’s another me
the pressure on his neck with his knee, can’t breathe
what we supposed to do, write more poetry?
they said enough is enough, let’s take it to the streets
can no longer they speak, change is what they wanna see
yesterday i tried to change the world
today i tried to change myself
the problem is clear, solution’s what they need
it’s not black against white, it’s wrong against right
this is the world we have to live in
have to raise our children in
this ain’t a competition of whose voice is the loudest
who posts the most, or who is the proudest
this is a stand for justice
we already preach, now we practice
equality in the workplace, write it down
equality in the schools, write it down
from the system to the community, equality
responsibility, from the home to the mind
the mind should be a safe place
to think we actually had to fight so every child has a full plate
the odds been against us from cotton fields to council estate
we was destroyed, now it’s time rebuild
rebuild from the ground up
organisation, history and education
disputes from within need to be made up
they k!lled us and we k!ll us
if change ain’t made there will be no ‘us’
let’s work on them and let’s work on us
we already broke the chains, now we breaking the cuffs
this is the beginning and the end
it’s not us first, it’s them
it’s everyone who stands for justice
versus the man who stands for just his
did you post about the situation just because you seen everyone else just did?
maybe you need to listen and learn about the situation so you can pass it down to your kids
so busy being clever you forgot to be wise
the system is the problem, designed as the help in the skies
i ain’t gonna teach you the history, you can find that in the books
we’ve been screaming change gon’ come since sam cooke
i don’t need to tell you the problem, we all seen how it looks
i’m supporting the people of tomorrow
so our leaders will be no crooks
there’s powers in numbers, we don’t have much
but numbers is one thing we got, this is spot
[hook]
run with me, street runners we run free
like a waving flag on a ship at sea
yesterday that was us, tomorrow you’ll see

[outro]
free
run with me
