[Intro]

Oh my darkest thoughts have

Risen from they grief

If I let them in now

Never let them leave

I've been talking to ya

Trying to make ends meet

If I scream it louder, will you answer me?

[Refrain]

I’m drowning, I'm drowning here

I'm drowning, why won’t you save me?

I'm drowning, I'm drowning here

I'm drowning, why won't you save me?

[Verse 1]

I think I'm getting sick of people who just really want to talk a lot

Thoughts and prayers ain't never fed nobody

Tell me is that all you got?

I'd rather be with all my heathens

Getting beat up in a parking lot (In a parking lot)

Got blood on my clothes

[Chorus]

Don’t tell me you know if you ain’t doing nothing about it

‘Cause the real ones right here with me

Less talking more show me

Do you even care?

You finna disappear

We need you out here

[Refrain]

I'm drowning, I’m drowning here

I'm drowning, why won't you save me?

I'm drowning, I’m drowning here

I'm drowning, why won't you save me?

[Verse 2]

I thought I said I'd burn the whole thing down

They want to know if I'm so mad about it

Well I guess they know now

[?] in Gotham got to wear these sheets to keep us in a ghost town

But we ain't hiding from ‘em

They be crying every time we come around

And we come around

Hands up god dammit

[Chorus]

Don't tell me you know if you ain't doing nothing about it

All the real ones right here with me

Less talking more show me

Do you really even care? (Do you even care?)

You finna disappear

We need you out here

[Spoken]

First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace

[Refrain]

I'm drowning, I'm drowning here

I'm drowning, why won't you save me?

I'm drowning, I'm drowning here

I'm drowning, why won't you save me?

I'm drowning, I'm drowning here

I'm drowning, why won't you save me?

I'm drowning, I'm drowning here

I'm drowning, why won't you save me?
