tammy campbell brooks - don't cry for me lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
five hundred years of oppression
that leaves you in control of having no control at all
when will it all end you wonder
is it a sin to ask and ponder

[verse 2]
what is the ultimate price of peace
the sacrifice of freedom
the cries each time we fall to our knees
when will the day come where we’re finally free

[chorus]
don’t cry for me
cry for you
it was always temporary
but necessary
i left my mark
now it’s up to you

[verse 3]
what are you going to do
die
comply
be a good ol’ boy
stand your ground
make a difference
turn the othеr cheek
that has already been slapped
into remission
[verse 4]
bе great
but how far has it gotten you
the more ambition the more
hate
rage
fear
bombs dropped

[verse 5]
oh i never forgot
black wallstreet
or the red summer
the way jim crow
despised the black afro
who parted the red sea
oh, it couldn’t be…

[verse 6]
i still see the anger
even when you say
be great
but our greatness
gives you the blues
what are you going to do
die
comply
[chorus]
don’t cry for me
cry for you
it was always temporary
but necessary
i left my mark
now it’s up to you

[outro]
don’t cry for me
cry for you
