Let Us In (Lyrics)

Living life with this black man plight
Everyday I feel like I have to fight
This system that's built for us not to be winners
Can only get a job at Walmart or Winners
These white gatekeepers won't let us in
Unless the position means I break my back for them
Receive minimum wage for the time spent
And I do this all just to pay rent
Yeah I'm tryna ball, not just survive
I'm tired of taking the bus I'm tryna get a ride
On holidays I want my boo by my side
While our boat slowly moves with the tide
Up above we watch a bird as it glides
Through the clear evening sky
You and I weren't meant to be caged
We're supposed to be free like birds when they fly

Let us in (X4)
Come out (X4)
Let us in (X4)
Get out (X3)

Watch them sit around and debate
How they gonna divide the cake
Take all the icing to the face
And leave minorities with crumb flakes
It's ironic 'cause we're the majority
If we come together to abolish thee authority
Who maneuvers from a place of greed
Also known as white supremacy
Who only hires fair skinned human beings
Cut anybodies flesh blood they will bleed
A reminder to those who don't see pass skin
There's more that meets the eye
You have to look at what's within

Let us in (X4)
Come out (X4)
Let us in (X4)
Get out (X3)

Now get out

Oh man
Where to go from here
There's evil on this land
Sometimes I wanna disappear
Go back to where I come from
But there they don't play fair
In order to play the part
Might have to cut my hair
Opportunities are hard to find
The kids live in despair
Fire inside my eyes
You gotta bring hope to them
