Judith Hill - As Trains Go By

Текст песни

Like CeeLo Green in a sea of red lights
I might as well be famous, since I ain’t gon' be white
One way or another, I know I’ll be all right
As trains go by — bad times outta sight
(Judith Hill & Prince)
Telling you that you’re not what you can sing
Everything else here but you’re born to be
Calling you names while trying to make you cheat
Shoot you dead and leave your body out in the streets
(Tell me what’s fair)
Like CeeLo Green in a sea of red lights
I might as well be famous, since I ain’t gon' be white
One way or another, I know I’ll be all right
As trains go by — bad times outta sight
(Judith Hill & Prince)
How can a chokehold never on TV
Still be okay with the NYC PD
Since ninteen hundred sixty five, thought we were free
We talk about you, we talk about me
Like CeeLo Green in a sea of red lights
I might as well be famous, since I ain’t gon' be white
One way or another, I know I’ll be all right
As trains go by — bad times outta sight
(Judith Hill & Prince)
How many bodies need to hit the ground
'For the masses raise their voice and they make a sound
Hold a Cherry Coke, whatever takes them down
Think about a dance when you hear the sound
(Judith Hill & Prince)
While Martin sleeps, Brother Malcom is awake
This time they won’t plop on our piece of cake
Set em free then, friends, let our reparation shake
Everybody shake no time to waste
(No time to waste)
Like CeeLo Green in a sea of red lights
I might as well be famous, since I ain’t gon' be white
One way or another, I know I’ll be all right
As trains go by — bad times outta sight
