(+) Let Me Out (feat. Mavis Staples & Pusha T)
Momma Mavis,
Oh momma they tried
my patience
(Bleep) is gone
who is left to save us?
(Bleep) we mourn
I'm praying for my neighbours
They say the devil's at work
And (bleep) is callin favors
You say I'm dangerous
I speak for the nameless
I fly with the vultures
I be with them bangers
If change don't come
Then the change won't come
If the bands make em dance
Then the rain gon' come
Am I passing into the light
(am I looking)
look into your eyes
all the world is in your head
when you send in another dial
You've got to die a little
If you want to live (come out)
Change comes to past
You've best be ready for it
Something out there
can't you feel it
It's about to change it's form
Yeah yeah yeah
it's the shifting times
But I won't get tired at all
Let me out
Look into my eyes
Momma tell me what you see
Tell me there's a chance for me
To make it out the streets
Tell me that I won't die
At the hands of the police
Promise me I won't, I'll live
My nephew and my niece
Promise me my pastor
Isn't lying as he preach
Tell me that they'll listen
If it's lessons that I teach
Tell me there's a heaven in the sky
Where there is peace
But until then I keep my piece
in arms reach
Am I passing into the light
(am I looking)
look into your eyes
all the world is in your head
when you send in another dial
You've got to die a little
If you want to live (come out)
Change comes to past
You've best be ready for it
Something out there
can't you feel it
It's about to change it's form
Yeah yeah yeah
it's the shifting times
But I won't get tired at all
Am I passing into the light
(am I looking)
look into your eyes
all the world is in your head
when you send in another dial
You've got to die a little
If you want to live (come out)
Change comes to past
You've best be ready for it
