So I’m Leaving

Lyrics

Verse 1: Deep breath as I embark on this long road ahead Reminiscing on the struggle, all the blood that was shed On this pavement, killers never cared that they laid men to rest Is in the jungle, you the prey, no amen Just a layman of sorrow, no hope for tomorrow Homeless man asking can he borrow a dollar or 'Can you spare some change?' But we so accustomed to the norm that we never gonna change So I keep my two cents right where it's at 'cause won't nobody ever sit where Rosa Parks sat Head straight to the back, too afraid of the front 'cause what's in front of us is not something that we wanna see Deceiving yourselves, you don't know what you wanna be So when your soul's inhaled, how you gonna breathe? You're waiting to exhale, R.I.P. Whitney, I promise not to fail Chorus (SkyBlew & Nish): So I'm leaving, I'm leaving Where you going? On that midnight train So I'm leaving, I'm leaving Where you going? On that midnight train So I'm leaving, I'm leaving Where you going? On that midnight train So please don't ask me where I'm gon' land 'cause I don't think you'll understand Verse 2 (B.C.P Backpacker): Tell me what you live fo', what you needin' plus mo' I just wonder why you need it all even when you fall In this blind society that every time I look at it It starts reminding me on how I love the way life used to be Eventually, we will relate again mentally Physically, eh, I don't really know about it 'cause yesterday guy showed me everything and told me all about it A lot on my mind so I need to shout it Like a nine year old giving birth to a baby A little girl like my daughter had to grow fast, be a lady Damn this world is shady Life at that age is supposed to be gravy Now it's just a bunch of maybes like making it to twenty-five Before she [?] her pain away with a different guy everyday between her thighs Lookin' to the sky asking, 'Lord, why? Lord, why?' Chorus: So I'm leaving, I'm leaving Where you going? On that midnight train So I'm leaving, I'm leaving Where you going? On that midnight train So I'm leaving, I'm leaving Where you going? On that midnight train So please don't ask me where I'm gon' land 'cause I don't think you'll understand Verse 3: Racism never left, it's still here Said a change gon' come but we still fear For our lives, they enter the world, yo it might be Where kids dying over Skittles and a ice tea No justice, no peace, I need some relief But instead, we live in grief Streetlight illuminates the night sky The revolution's not televised Media tellin' lies And to my kin locked in the pen Who may never see the light again 'til we meet again Keep your head up, I know you fed up Time flew over years and it sped up Heart pumping the old soul melody Wonder if my dream is something I will ever see Yo I gotta get away from this place But closer to the Lord, never falling from his grace
