but i can’t close my eyes
i’m wired wincing at the news
took minneapolis to ashes
got no time to lose
to keep it moving
make a movement out of static
stay invested in it all
don’t let it out of your head
will we ever get to sleep
will we find a time to breathe
cause we’ve been tryna set us free
how long now
(will we ever get to stop and breathe)
(will we find a time to get to sleep)
(we’ve been tryna kill the worry but)
(sun is gonna shine)
will we ever get to sleep
dismantle who dismantles we
keep someone down to keep the peace
don’t fly now
(will we ever get to stop and breathe)
(racist sexist classist same story)
(someone down to feed your family)
(sun is gonna shine)
yeah i’m tired
and that’s not my life on the line
got a sky of blue
but all clouds in my mind
will we ever get to sleep
find the time to stop and breathe
there must be pauses in between
unknown now
(will we ever get to stop and breathe)
(will we find a time to get to sleep)
(we’ve been tryna kill the worry but)
(sun is gonna shine)
so it’s not
gonna stop
any time soon
it’s been how many years
whitey’s on the moon
never settle for it is what it is
but live joy when you can find it
yeah i’m tired
it always a life on the line
how to build a world
that we want to survive
it ain’t like the burden’s only mine
how do i decide to bide the time
