- Sarah Kang Ashes 歌词
- Uzuhan Sarah Kang
- This a topic I didn't wanna touch
We're so used to being painted with a broad brush
There's a lot of anger boiling in this pot
Look I don't have the answers
But it's time we talked about us
There's a lost trust we can see it's tangible
I don't trust you and you don't trust me
So we keep it all casual
Maybe it's just easier to keep it moving
You do you and I'll do me It's all Gucci
We don't gotta cross paths or look at each other
No need to pay attention to your struggle
I'm busy getting mine so I pay you no mind
As long as I'm quiet I'll be doing just fine
I know it's taboo to rock the boat like this
But it's time to rip the scales out from our eye lids
In order to build a better future for our kids
We need to take an honest
Look at all of our shit
There's a ring around the have nots
They laugh while you dance like a mascot
Ashes Ashes
We all fall down
They consider you a Sasquatch
Don't worry thy pocket's full of cash crops
Ashes Ashes
We all fall down
Ignorance begets more ignorance
Respect has to go both ways
Why minimize a people
For an argument's sake?
How'd we learn to hate a person
By the shade of their face?
I'm shaking my head
This scarcity mindsets about to kill us all
Plus the goofy ones weaponize the word of God
Y'all wanna play oppression olympics
Fine But don't ever say you care for my village
Don't act like you care for my healing
I don't see the receipts
Your paper trail's like a cat on a leash
If you can't see a problem
I'll just hold my peace
Every auntie beat down on the cold concrete
Is a travesty no matter how you try to spin it
Some says it's not a big deal
It's only been this year
I understand they have to be extreme
To get a point across
Downplay our history to lift a burning cross
There's a ring around the have nots
They laugh while you dance like a mascot
Ashes Ashes
We all fall down
They consider you as Sasquatch
Don't worry thy pocket's full of cash crops
Ashes Ashes
We all fall down
Ashes Ashes Ashes
We all fall We all fall We all fall down
Ashes Ashes Ashes
We all fall We all fall We all fall down
Is it justice for all or just the optics?
Keep on opting for options
With guap in its pockets
But I can't seem to shake off
This strange little feeling
Our stories aren't appealing
Well who am I kidding?
Why'd I need their approval to tell me what I should do
The conditioning is baked in a lot to undo
Waiting for the powers that be to tell us how to think
Money grabbers use our struggles for their marketing schemes
I've been mocked at
So I talk back with a riddle
Don't you speak to me
Like all the other people you've belittled
I can finally breathe and take my space
Planted both of my feet
Now I'm proud of my place
But it's parasite
Playing out in real time
We're fortifying walls drawing real lines
I'm not choosing an agenda
These are real lives
I'm trying to reconcile and give a real try
