lirik lagu orion the third - take a stand feat. seráfia
intro:
sat my two year old son down
if daddy gets gunned down
hold your head little prince
never frown
living in a world
where black lives
don’t matter
where’s the motivation
to climb the ladder?
hearing laughter
of every child
unlawfully murdered
ponder on their futures
now unheard of
scientists, doctors, lawyers
who could’ve changed the world
souls sn-tched from the earth
pray for our boys and girls
take a seat or take a stand
take a seat or take a stand
verse 1:
price of ungranted reparations
police brutality implanted
in our nation
on every news station
black youth murder demonstration
in concentrations
unlawfully, unarmed indeed
seems blaspheme
freedom screamed
as king dreamed
then foreseen the grand scheme
that we integrated
into a burning house
equality never reciprocated
we drowned in a sea of blood
bound to this brown skin
fits perfect like a glove
i countdown to my breakdown
if taken down
would the world flinch?
150 years of marching
we haven’t moved an inch
gun us down
the new age lynch
i pinch myself and binge on the reality
my rights are infringed
if police holler freeze
i agree to cease
still brought to my knees
as bullets penetrate my spleen
and my son seen
blood soak my shirt and jeans
with my girl next to me
as she screams
cameras on the scene
would the world stand still?
and appeal to instill…legislation?
or will they forget…philando castile?
will more police get k!lled..
to reveal how some
in the black community feel?
that’s a hard pill to swallow
uncertain of our tomorrows
all i see is sorrow
is there a mustard seed i can borrow?
my visions hollow
i pray for peace
don’t pull your piece
if you see me reach
for equality
see, we breathe the same air
let’s share in the fight
ignite a rekindling of the light
we hold deep inside
one that does not divide
race, gender, culture
do away with the hate
that displays like a vulture
all we need is a chance
let me help you…
chorus:
take a seat or take a stand
take a seat or take a stand
if not for me
do it for my little man
take a seat or take a stand
bridge: seráfia
my eyes grow
wet and wild
racing through these streets
calling for my child
begging, begging, begging
to see his last smile
begging, begging, begging
sound when shots are fired
death brushed my soul
i claw shattered dreams
like broken gl-ss
death brushed my soul
i claw shattered dreams
like broken gl-ss
how many souls are missed?
cold face of the bullet
gives us all a kiss
how many souls are missed?
cold face of the bullet
gives us all a kiss
