Outcry

Anger is a language Listen real close and you can hear the anguish Closed ears they can only do damage Closed ears they can only do damage Oh It’s the outcry It’s the outcry Anger is the language It's spirit touched with the languid It’s clear that justice is vanished Here are the winners crushing the banquet Our divide keeps us hurting inside Pushing the hurting aside Keeping you serving your pride Submerged in a curse full of lies That assure you’re deserving your life When politics is perception Appearances become profession What about our grandmama’s lessons Speak truth in blessed connection Don’t let the blame game maintain We out here to redesign the mainframe It’s so simple, same blood, same veins Work together help the streets stay sane Oh It’s the outcry It’s the outcry Closed ears they can only do damage The screams and the shouts of the street echo out Lost another one to the blackness The sunken place guarded by the inattentive Hard hearted have a lot to repent of This divide where we find ourselves Colours teach us to define ourselves Need hope to realign ourselves And the growth to remind ourselves We all sit in suits and ties Claiming narratives infused with lies Repping the same sets where it’s do or die Refuse the respect between you and I Why can’t there be a third option? Seeking out the wisdom of Solomon The option of honouring In the same vein of the God you say you’re following Oh It’s the outcry It’s the outcry Closed ears they can only do damage Anger is a language Can you speak it? Listen close for the anguish Or we’re doomed to repeat it Oh It’s the outcry It’s the outcry Closed ears they can only do damage
