Allow Me Say Lyrics

Just for a second if you people would allow me say

How many of you took a step outside your world today

How longs it really been since you tried to communicate

Share your opinion with a stranger in a peaceful way

They say we false

It's city living but the streets ain't got no pulse

Like we don't care

Im feeling all alone is anybody out there

Wake up one day

And realise that chasing paper chased our lives away

Did we try to change

Oh no

My brother told me it's a crying shame

So people care about material things

My social conscience got me wanting to commit my brain

Make something of me then give back to my community

Your mind at ease

While somewhere else there's someone crying in their sleep

We got empty homes

While people line the street's they ain't got nowhere to go

If we could trade, I'd take your money so that I could take their pain away

Maybe we could all be saved

But no

It doesn't look like that's gon happen

It doesn't look like that's gon happen

Eh eh eh, it doesn't look like that's gon happen

It doesn't look like that's gon happen

Make no mistake, life is hard it is challenging it is confusing

And yes, we are each individually charged with our own survival

But survival does not entail isolation

The subsistence of one does not require the destruction of another

This fallacy is but a product of the society we have created

And while inequality is claimed to be a matter of perspective

Too many will continue to turn a blind eye

Sentiment is not a weakness

It builds bridges, and forges alliances

So that we may stride on towards tomorrow

And the next day

And the next day

Not shackled by fear

But liberated by our shared humanity
