Let Me Out Lyrics

N.C.
Mama Mavis, oh
N.C.
Mama, they tried my patience
Obama is gone, who is left to save us?
We mourn, I'm praying for my neighbors
They say the devil's at work and Trump is calling favors
You say I'm dangerous, I speak for the nameless
I fly with the vultures, I be with them bangers
If change don't come, then the change won't come
If the bands make them dance, then the rain gon' come
horus
Am I passin' into the light?
Am I looking into mercy's eyes? (Look into your eyes)
All the world is out of your hands
I ascend and another dies
You got to die a little
If you wanna live
Change come to pass
You'd best be ready for it
Something I've begun to fear
Is about to change it all
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a shift in time
But I won't get tired at all
Look into my eyes, mama, tell me what you see
Tell me there's a chance for me to make it off the streets
Tell me that I won't die at the hands of the police
Promise me I won't outlive my nephew and my niece
Promise me my pastor isn't lyin' as he preach
Tell me that they'll listen if it's lessons that I teach
Tell me there's a heaven in the sky where there is peace
But until then, I keep my piece in arm's reach
(Yeah!)
[horus
Am I passin' into the light?
Am I looking into mercy's eyes? (Look into your eyes)
All the world is out of your hands
I ascend and another dies
You got to die a little
If you wanna live
Change come to pass
You'd best be ready for it
Something I've begun to fear
Is about to change it all
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a shift in time
But I won't get tired at all
horus
Am I passin' into the light?
Am I looking into mercy's eyes? (Let me out)
All the world is out of your hands
(I ascend and another dies)
You got to die a little
(If you wanna live) If you wanna live
Change come to pass
Oh, a change is comin'
You'd best be ready
Be ready for it (Uh huh)
Ready for it
Be ready
Be Ready (Ohh)
Ohh
Ohh
N.C.
(Let me out)
