Lyrics

[Intro] St Kaepernick Wept [Verse 1] See the odds are stacked against And they're waiting for you to fail So you trace your steps in snow, make it rain, make it hail He's gonna use his legs to run past the end zone He's gonna use his heart to grow wings [Verse 2] And in the congregation, waiting for the Holy Ghost He's gonna sing a song that will wake up the whole world All the brethren and sistren were waiting for a Mr To lead us to the promise land Well I hope I haven't missed you [Bridge 1] All I see are signs All I feel are limits All we see is broken All we feel is finished Trying to fix a system that we can never win in [Pre-Chorus] Don't Omarosa on me now The dollars in the NFL Will not put words in my (will not put words in my) Will not put mouth in my mouth [Chorus] See, I don't believe in heaven But I believe in you See, I don't believe in heaven But I believe in you, you [Post-Chorus] St Kaepernick Wept St Kaepernick Wept (St Kaepernick wept) [Bridge 2] What does the flag mean to the ghost of Emmett Till? When it's freedom, liberty and justice, but not for all He's was gonna change the face of your ghetto neighborhood If you'd let him live Riding through the trees Your forefathers swung from We must teach our sons to cower We must teach our sons to run If they want to live 'Cause he got got standing on the block Said the wrong thing to the wrong cop Oh, well, what's he got? Paid leave, a full stop 'Cause he got shot whilst his kids watched Sign of the times as the world clocked He was just another hand out for welfare Headed to the prison industrial complex [Chorus] See, I don't believe in heaven But I believe in you See, I don't believe in heaven But I believe in you See, I don't believe in heaven But I believe in you See, I don't believe in heaven But I believe in you, you, you [Bridge 3] The road ahead is long And the path you chose, far gone When they smear your name You know you've done us proud And we won't forget what you gave for us [Outro] St Kaepernick Wept St Kaepernick Wept St Kaepernick Wept
