Pour One Out Lyrics

Please pour one out for me

If I don't wake up from sleep

The sun will go about its business

I hope it has some light for me

Oh, please pour one out for me

If I don't wake up from sleep

Lord, take me up into Heaven

Where I can abide in peace

But I can't abide in peace

I can't abide in peace

I can't abide in peace

I'm grateful that I saw the dawn

Even just briefly

I thank God that the earth still beneath me

I'm prayin' that my mama never have to grieve me

A lotta figures would give anything to be me

And prolly walk a mile in my shoes real easy

Whenever my motherland knows war

My mouth goes dry and my gut's so sore

Peep the news, but the twitter feed shows more

I scream all the pain away, behind a closed door

Scared that my soul is pickin' up and bad omens

Eyes get exposed to so many last moments

Homies ask how you doin' and how you copin'

I don't even know, just pop that thing open

Then I just think 'bout how we on stolen land

And who got robbed for my phone in hand?

Who worked to death my clothing brands?

And how the can you own a man?

I hear 'em callin'

There's pain in the atmosphere

The rain just keeps falling

Where can we go from here

Please pour one out for me

If I don't wake up from sleep

The sun will go about its business

I hope it has some light for me

Oh, please pour one out for me

If I don't wake up from sleep

Lord, take me up into Heaven

Where I can abide in peace

But I can't abide in peace

I can't abide in peace

I can't abide in peace

I can't abide in peace

Listen

I never really been afraid to get real

Never layers that I wouldn't let peel

Never had to trip about the next deal

Never had to think of how to get steel

And steal cos my kids are worried bout the next meal

Yo, don't get it twisted

This ain't a flex

It's a nod to my privilege

Stayin' in check

Some weaponize

And muzzle the claim of debt

Some fetishize the struggle and pain instead

But

I hear 'em calling

There's pain in the atmosphere

The rain just keeps falling

Where can we go from here

Please pour one out for me

If I don't wake up from sleep

The sun will go about its business

I hope it has some light for me

Oh, please pour one out for me

If I don't wake up from sleep

Lord, take me up into Heaven

Where I can abide in peace

Lord, please pour one out for me

If I don't wake up from sleep

The sun will go about its business

I hope it has some light for me

Lord, please pour one out for me

If I don't wake up from sleep

Lord, take me up into Heaven

Where I can abide in peace

But I can't abide in peace

I can't abide in peace

Lord, I can abide in peace
