stephanie mc'kay - tell it like it is lyrics

Loading...

people everywhere so disillusioned
of the way the world is today
everybody’s talking
’bout who did what to who
how and when it got that way
i’m looking for an answer
sometimes i want to quit

but i still got to try
when i see a baby girl
caught up in that world
it brings a tear to my eye

she may not want to hear what i got to say
i was guilty of making that same mistake
standing here trying to tell her what its about
does she hear me
i remember his name from back in the day
holding me huggin me loving just the same
used to swear that i was his only one
then i gave him some
and it was done

i tell it like it is
(tell it like it is ooh ooh)
tell it like it is
(oh oh oh oh oh i got to tell it like it is)
oh i got to tell it like it is
(tell it like it is ooh ooh ooh)
tell it like it is
oh oh oh oh tell it like it is

read it in the paper
a young brother
with a bright future’s been shot and k!lled
saw it on the news
a brothers been accused
how’s that supposed to make me feel
pain deep in my heart
god please hear my cry
when i see a young brother lost in the world
it brings a tear to my eye

you may not want to hear what i got to say
but i witness the same old things everyday
precious lies, family ties
being thrown away
do you feel me
i remember the good times from back in the day
laughing joking thought it would never change
mothers cry, children die
this is not the way
now we’re putting flowers at his grave

i’ll tell it like it is
(tell it like it is ooh oh ooh)
i’m gonna tell it like it is
(oh oh oh tell it like it is)
oh i ‘ve got to tell it like it is
(tell it like it is oooh ooh oh)
i’m gonna tell it like it is
tell it like it is
