skyblew - so i'm leaving lyrics

verse 1:
deep breath as i embark on this long road ahead
reminiscing on the struggle, all the blood that was shed
on this pavement, k!llers never cared that they laid men to rest
is in the jungle, you the prey, no amen
just a layman of sorrow, no hope for tomorrow
homeless man asking can he borrow a dollar or ‘can you spare some change?’
but we so accustomed to the norm that we never gonna change
so i keep my two cents right where it’s at
‘cause won’t n-body ever sit where rosa parks sat
head straight to the back, too afraid of the front
‘cause what’s in front of us is not something that we wanna see
deceiving yourselves, you don’t know what you wanna be
so when your soul’s inhaled, how you gonna breathe?
you’re waiting to exhale, r.i.p. whitney, i promise not to fail

chorus (skyblew & nish):
so i’m leaving, i’m leaving
where you going? on that midnight train
so i’m leaving, i’m leaving
where you going? on that midnight train
so i’m leaving, i’m leaving
where you going? on that midnight train

so please don’t ask me where i’m gon’ land
‘cause i don’t think you’ll understand

verse 2 (b.c.p backpacker):
tell me what you live fo’, what you needin’ plus mo’
i just wonder why you need it all even when you fall
in this blind society that every time i look at it
it starts reminding me on how i love the way life used to be
eventually, we will relate again mentally
physically, eh, i don’t really know about it
‘cause yesterday guy showed me everything and told me all about it
a lot on my mind so i need to shout it
like a nine year old giving birth to a baby
a little girl like my daughter had to grow fast, be a lady
d-mn this world is shady
life at that age is supposed to be gravy
now it’s just a bunch of maybes like making it to twenty-five
before she [?] her pain away with a different guy everyday between her thighs
lookin’ to the sky asking, ‘lord, why? lord, why?’

chorus:
so i’m leaving, i’m leaving
where you going? on that midnight train
so i’m leaving, i’m leaving
where you going? on that midnight train
so i’m leaving, i’m leaving
where you going? on that midnight train

so please don’t ask me where i’m gon’ land
‘cause i don’t think you’ll understand

verse 3:
racism never left, it’s still here
said a change gon’ come but we still fear
for our lives, they enter the world, yo it might be
where kids dying over skittles and a ice tea
no justice, no peace, i need some relief
but instead, we live in grief
streetlight illuminates the night sky
the revolution’s not televised
media tellin’ lies
and to my kin locked in the pen
who may never see the light again
’til we meet again
keep your head up, i know you fed up
time flew over years and it sped up
heart pumping the old soul melody
wonder if my dream is something i will ever see
yo i gotta get away from this place
but closer to the lord, never falling from his grace
