Peacemaker (x NOYZ)
03:23
|
|||
Verse 1:
Starting to feel
Like we’re never ever gonna go home
Still got bomb drops, gun shots
Too many kids stranded alone
Ain’t got a leader
That will take us to the height we should be
Just a puppet on a string
Gone corrupt for the sake of money
Chorus (x2):
Say what you wanna say
Do what you wanna do
No war now, we need a peacemaker
No war now, we need a peacemaker
Verse 2 (NOYZ):
I see the way the God will test you
In the words of Robert Nesta,
"Everywhere is war"
Tore the common threads
And bombing threats are imminent
Immigrant or citizen, they draw the line
Innocent or illegitimate,
Borders will corner mine
As long as police place us in bondage
And cheap labour is offered,
How long until man will see we can’t eat paper?
The feet of a peacemaker because peace is never passive
The better half of your speech in keeping it everlasting
Chorus (x3):
Say what you wanna say
Do what you wanna do
No war now, we need a peacemaker
No war now, we need a peacemaker
Verse 3 (NOYZ):
If they're forever shooting and causing devastation
We'll be the evolution with truth in elevation
For youth in generations to come
And raise up as one
So we can all see our face in the sun
Verse 4 (Amanie):
Not going far if we’re standing here fighting ourselves
The real enemy is pretending to send all of us help
Bag of rice, yeah
Here’s a tent, yeah
Get your rights, yeah
But they just keep putting, putting us down
And walk away like they did something for us
Chorus (x2):
Say what you wanna say
Do what you wanna do
No war now, we need a peacemaker
No war now, we need a peacemaker

Verse 1:
Never gonna heal like this
Self destruct ain’t an option

To get the pieces of my mind right
It’s just a little hard sometimes
But God knows that I tried and tried
Pre-Chorus:
I’ve got scars, I’ve got scars

Battling demons in my head

Looking for connection in the wrong place
Can I leave a mark on your life?
Am I worth a memory?

Always hoping that you’ll be saved
(That you’ll be saved)

Darkness falling fast and you’re scared
But I know the truth
That we can get over this
Ya, this is something we’ll get through
Deep inside your feelings
Let’s just sit here for a while
Don’t hold back the flood of tears
Just let em flow and cry
All the sorrows that keep you chained
To the thoughts that you don’t like
Just scream it out loud
Bring em out to the light like

Forgiveness
Dead
Chorus x3:
Empty rooms and highways
You tore me through them all
And honestly, you
You cut me down
Honestly, you
You broke me down

Verse 1:
I think It's obvious
We don't need the wine to tell us
What we already know
I can see you're hesitating
Even with my shirt and my skirt
All on the floor
Chorus:
And you can see that I can be
More than a girl in fantasy
Forget the ones that you have seen
And give all of your love to me
Like I am yours
Like I am yours
Verse 2:
I can see it in your eyes
You want the liberty to show me
All that you can do
I can grant you that wish baby
Take me to a place
That I never knew
Chorus:
And you can see that I can be
More than a girl in fantasy
Forget the ones that you have seen
And give all of your love to me
Like I am yours
Like I am yours
Bridge (x2):
Swish, swish, swish
Of my hips as I grind up on you
Grip, grip, grip
My hair, bite my lips
When you think you're falling through
Chorus:
And you can see that I can be
More than a girl in fantasy
Forget the ones that you have seen
And give all of your love to me
Like I am yours
Like I am yours
Like I am yours
Like I am yours

Sit Back
Written By: amanie illfated
Produced By: JT Aylward, B.Morales
Chorus:
If you’re stepping up to me
Oh, if you’re stepping up to me)
I ain’t gonna sit back
I ain’t gonna sit back
I ain’t gonna sit back
If you think you control me
Ooh, if you think you control me
I ain’t gonna sit back, no
I ain’t gonna sit back
I ain’t gonna sit back
Verse 1:
Looks like all this time
You thought I was your type
The kind that smiles at all you say
Cause she’s too nice
All that suppression
Oh, it really ain’t my style
Come meet my boundaries
They might be a surprise
You better watch yourself with me
No need to talk your shit with me
You may be smart
But don’t forget, I’ve got a mind
You better watch yourself with me
No need to talk your shit with me
You may be smart
Better keep yourself in line
Chorus:
If you’re stepping up to me
(Oh, if you’re stepping up to me)
I ain’t gonna sit back
I ain’t gonna sit back
I ain’t gonna sit back
If you think you control me
(Ooh, if you think you control me)
I ain’t gonna sit back, no
I ain’t gonna sit back
I ain’t gonna sit back
If you think I ain’t a Queen
Oo, if you think I ain’t a queen
I ain’t gonna sit back, no
I ain’t gonna sit back
I ain’t gonna sit back
If you’re stepping up to me
(Oh, if you’re stepping up to me)
I’m as black as I can be
I’m as black as I can be
Unapologetically
Verse 2:
Don’t you step me to me
Like I am just a prize
I’m not some blow up doll
That you can fetishize
No, I won’t bleach my skin
I like my melanin strong
If you can’t take it
Shut your mouth and move along
He says I’m really pretty for a black girl
He says I’m really smart for a black girl
He says I’m really classy for a black girl
But what does that mean?
He says you’re really pretty for a black girl? What?
He says you’re really smart for a black girl? What?
He says you’re really classy for a black girl?
But what does that mean for a black girl, black girl?
Chorus:
If you’re stepping up to me
Oh, if you’re stepping up to me)
I ain’t gonna sit back
I ain’t gonna sit back
I ain’t gonna sit back
If you think you control me
Ooh, if you think you control me
I ain’t gonna sit back, no
I ain’t gonna sit back, no
I ain’t gonna sit back
If you’re stepping up to me
(Oh, if you’re stepping up to me)
I’m as black as I can be
I’m as black as I can be
Unapologetically
Ending:
Girl, you gotta keep your head up
Motha fuckas tryin to knock your crown down
Ladies, you gotta keep your head up
Don’t let these motha fuckas knock your crown down
I’m as black as I can be
I’m as black as I can be
Unapologetically
And I ain’t gonna sit back, nope
