Take it back a moment maybe we can start again

I want so bad to know the wick ain't burnin' at both ends

Is there a way to see all of the dark and still hope in the light?

Is it too late to hope?

Day by day

It's the same

Cops taking shots on the colored saints

We got a reaction

But where is the change?

Another life gunned to death by the state

One cage, for a hundred lives

Little ones hoping for a better life

Taken from their parents with no goodbye

Build a wall in thе ground and your brain

And you bet we stay

The samе

But we can never go back the way we came

Get me out

I need to find a way

I need to find a way out

Get me out

Out of the dark and hopelessness

Everybody wants to feel justified

But do you got what it takes to abide in the light?

Get me out

I need to find a way

I need to find a way out

Day by day

I'm enraged

10 in the pen for selling weed

Mass incarceration is slavery

Abolitionists cry out 13! 13!

Separate the family

Make the raid

South all the way to the northern states

Address systematic problems with personal blame

And God as my witness

We will never change

Get me out

I need to find a way

I need to find a way out

Get me out

Out of the dark and hopelessness

Everybody wants to feel justified

But do you got what it takes to abide in the light?

Get me out

I need to find a way

I need to find a way out

I hear ya talk

But all it does is make me sick

Take it back a moment maybe we can start again

I want so bad to know the wick ain't burnin' at both ends

Is there a way to see all the dark and still hope in the light?

Is there a way that we can walk in truth and still have a chance to fight?

Is it too late to hope?

Get me out

I need to find a way

I need to find a way out

Get me out

Out of the dark and hopelessness

Everybody wants to feel justified

But do you got what it takes to abide in the light?

Get me out

I need to find a way

I need to find a way out
