lirik lagu a.d. carson – if i could [tell you]
“[1]
if i could put it in an open letter
and tattoo that on my skin so i won’t forget it
i’d probably say something cliché, like “hope is better.”
knowing’s never an excuse for not trying to go and get some more
and they say we got a lot of nerve
to ask for justice, as if it’s something not deserved
when he went to prison it was ‘cause he had a lot to serve
living’s like a game of chicken, and the mission’s not to swerve
so you get it how you gotta. living for today and not tomorrow
ain’t as hard when you starving
i thank my lucky stars to be able to say
it’s kind of like a fixed ball game, and you gotta play
so you won’t catch me judging how he tried to find a way
to make it from the first to the third ain’t ever safe
but winning’s like an inning. the rules of running the base
is three outs, aka, kkk [and then you’re struck]
[hook]
still looking forward to a greater day
but i can’t say enough phrases to take the pain away
and we still straining through changes and living with dangers
as plain as i can say it, i wonder if we will make it
i ain’t looking to shake what i’m facing. i’m trying to break it
and if there was an easier road, i wouldn’t take it
if i was you, i wouldn’t take it
but i’m just me, and i won’t take it
[2]
if i could tell you how i really feel
i’d tell you it’s a real cold world with an infinite chill
no need to say what you already know
and if you sleeping then the po-po is like nodōz
no indictments, no rights when they violate you;
repeated disrespect when you asking them why they hate you
land of brotherhood—if my brother’s under a hood
and terrorizing me, then my family ain’t all that good
and if the hood’s a badge, and my brother’s shooting me down
and other family members see others looting the town
and blame it on the victim, then we gotta change the system
for our daughters and our fathers and our mothers and our sisters
if i could tell you how i really feel:
america, here and right now, feels like the k!lling fields
because we’re fighting for rights, and n-body’s civil still
sometimes it’s hard…believing this is really real
[hook]
still looking forward to a greater day
but i can’t say enough phrases to take the pain away
and we still straining through changes and living with dangers
as plain as i can say it, i wonder if we will make it
i ain’t looking to shake what i’m facing. i’m trying to break it
and if there was an easier road, i wouldn’t take it
if i was you, i wouldn’t take it
but i’m just me, and i won’t take it
still looking forward to a greater day
but i can’t say enough phrases to take the pain away
and we still straining through changes and living with dangers
as plain as i can say it, i wonder if we will make it
i ain’t looking to shake what i’m facing. i’m trying to break it
and if there was an easier road, i wouldn’t take it
if i was you, i wouldn’t take it
but i’m just me, and i won’t take it.”
