lirik lagu common ground – silva

[intro: da silva]
i can′t feel it
can’t believe it
my mind′s going numb from disbelief as i’m reading
my heart’s reeling, i can′t breathe as i reach for my phone so i can
holla at my boys, i′m making noise for my heathens
and you’re screaming all lives matter, but what′s the meaning?
are you worried about your family and how police treat em?
are you worried about your son not coming home in the evening?
nah, you don’t know pain until you′ve watched your brothers get beaten
by the people who we only need for one simplе reason
policeman are mеant to protect but look at how they treat them
they’re grabbing and ramming them in
jail like they′re cattle to their feeding
you’ll slap them in shackles without any f*cking reasoning
i’ve been begging and pleading, been screaming can you just please
leave our aunties and uncles and brothers and sisters in peace
but police don′t give a f*ck about our cries and our pleas
only time they′re taking a knee is if it means you can’t breathe
now tell em

[chorus: chiara clifford]
we won′t back down
we won’t back down
you cannot stop us now
our voice is too loud
the peace you claim is fake
you are the snake
to blame for all your crime
but we see through your lies
we won′t back down
we won’t back down
yeah we′ll find common ground
[verse 1: da silva]
yo
law enforcement is f*cked, the whole system is corrupted
it’s not weeding out the bad ones, or cutting police budgets
it’s not taking away handguns, and then thinking that we′ve done it
it′s disrupt the current government, destroy what they’ve sculpted
i ain′t talking ’bout adjustments or even underfunding it
i′m talking blow the sh*t to dust, put people at the front of it
now its white men at the top, and bame are all the way under it
‘cuz rich and white and racist governments are who constructed it
i know you never thunk of it, there are racists in this kingdom
we invaded the whole planet that′s why we’re named great britain
you keep shouting that enslavement got abolished but it didn’t
nah slavery still happens, it′s just called the prison system
now i′m singing

[chorus: chiara clifford]
we won’t back down
we won′t back down
you cannot stop us now
our voice is too loud
the peace you claim is fake
you are the snake
to blame for all your crime
but we see through your lies
we won’t back down
we won′t back down
yeah we’ll find common ground
[verse 2: da silva]
if a white man started shouting, screaming f*ck the police
it′d be leave them be, we got more troubles in these streets
but if a black man did the same sh*t, f*ck you best believe
it’d be hands up, get down, on your f*cking knees
nah hold up we ain’t done yet, let′s start talking appropriation
taking sh*t races are hated for and claim it as your creation
thought you could take centuries of racism and erase it
but you ain′t thought for one second about paying your reparations

[verse 3: rmz]
i’m from the class of 2020 where it′s crisis on the daily
got my own pedestal but my thrown is stolen from me
boogied with the devil but i out*moved him on the dance floor
started every battle, now they want more
six string slinger but my weapon is my people
never feeble, stand strong, never break against the evil
yeah
ay
i’m from the asian america
covered by the media so they wash their hands and bury us

[bridge: chiara clifford]
trying to save our corrupted piece
gave it my all but it costed me
[chorus: chiara clifford]
we won′t back down
we won’t back down
you cannot stop us now
our voice is too loud
the peace you claim is fake
you are the snake
to blame for all your crime
but we see through your lies
we won′t back down
we won’t back down
yeah we’ll find common ground

[outro: da silva]
and while you sit there, bopping your head to this
catching every single word, listening ′til the end of it
or even if you only hear one line, let it please be this
i hope that this year′s the one you can finally admit your privilege
