Verse 1
Am 
Now what y 'all finna hear
is an update on what
Em 
we've been on as of late.
F 
See I was reading a late notice
Em 
Am 
on a date that I wrote this, you hear?
Em 
Time flies in the leer
Am 
and   you wonder
where the day went.
See I'm a leader in my field
but I'm behind on my truck payments.
So this is something
that can help you raise
your head like hello.
Em 
This is not brown, red, or yellow.
F 
Em 
Not a white or black poem.
Am 
Em 
This is a prayer to a guardian angel
Am 
to protect our fathers, mothers, sisters,
brothers, sons, and daughters
until we bring our troops back home.
Cause it feel like we all in the same platoon
Em 
and we'll all be extinct soon
F 
if we continue to suffer from
Em 
other people's crimes.
Am 
I think we well overdue
Em 
for change this time
Am 
And I know they don't want to
see me cooped up in the bins
They'd rather see me cooped
up in these pens
Therefore I release the ink
that's cooped up in these pens
And let my art articulate
Em 
F 
People are so slow to love
Em 
but so quick to hate
Am 
Now some things finna change
because we say so
Let's stop looking at how bad things are
And focus on how well they may go
And this is a declaration,
that we'll be fair again,
especially to those Americans
Em 
who were Americans
F 
Em 
Am 
before there were Americans.
Em 
This is to a small young family
Am 
that's booming out of space.
That's booming out of space.
This is to my people, the human race.
I need you to take us to the
Em 
promised land.
F 
Em 
Don't just make us promises.
Am 
Em 
Am 
It's too late to let go  of our hands
They say we need a prophet
That can touch on the topics
and make it hot like the tropics
Well you got it
Em 
Take us to the promised
F 
Em 
Don't just make us promises
Am 
Em 
It's too late to let go of
Am 
our hands
Em 
Everybody's saying please don't let go
Am 
F 
Em 
I hear it over and over and over like an echo
Am 
I see it in my dreams
F 
Am 
I feel the effect though,
people drowning or dead,
Em 
somebody to the rescue
Am 
Everybody saying that we
Em 
need something special,
F 
nah man we need something
Em 
extra -terrestrial
Am 
Em 
Out of this world, speak for us,
Am 
be the vessel, out of the box,
reach for it through the threshold
Through all of the stress though,
what's best of all,
people screaming like a festival
Just applaud, this moment is special y 'all
