《Ayesha Says (Intro)》歌词

[00:00:00] Lupe Fiasco - Ayesha Says（Intro）

[00:00:02] Hijabs hoodies afros locks

[00:00:05] Teddy bear liquor bottle shrines rocks

[00:00:07] Tanks prayer rugs church pews

[00:00:09] Mexican corn stands

[00:00:11] Blood sweat and tears police batons

[00:00:13] Gas masks and bullets create graffiti on corners

[00:00:16] Murals that salute freedom

[00:00:17] Or death for liberty

[00:00:19] Be it Inglewood or Egypt

[00:00:20] Bedstuy or Baghdad

[00:00:22] Syria or Liberia the west bank

[00:00:23] Or the west side of Chicago

[00:00:25] Where food and liquor stores

[00:00:26] Still occupy the block

[00:00:28] While police and community watchmen justify why they shot

[00:00:31] Emmit Till and Malice Green

[00:00:32] Rekia Boyd and Trayvon Martin

[00:00:34] Better not wear that hoodie

[00:00:35] While shopping for a carton

[00:00:37] Or whatever they sellin in your food desert

[00:00:39] Cause your soul is dessert

[00:00:40] And will be dissected and consumed

[00:00:42] On the Fox evening news while we sing the blues

[00:00:44] The new Jim Crow caged bird sings

[00:00:47] Cause he's tired of occupying his misery

[00:00:49] And of our marching

[00:00:50] He wanna fly to a higher consciousness

[00:00:52] But his school on academic probation

[00:00:54] They gave him medicine

[00:00:55] Diagnosed him with a felony and mental retardation

[00:00:58] So he refuses to cease the firin nobody's hirin

[00:01:01] In Illinois 67 is the new age when you retirin

[00:01:04] Class lines have blurred

[00:01:06] Those who used to have have not

[00:01:07] Pensions bein snatched

[00:01:09] Those who never have keep their hands stretched

[00:01:11] Social services being cut

[00:01:13] Sterilization clinics giving out pills to numb the womb

[00:01:16] Young girls referring to their vaginas as tombs

[00:01:19] Thinkin protests are temporary and trendy

[00:01:21] Well rock a t-shirt and carry a poster

[00:01:23] And two weeks later it's back to normal

[00:01:25] But they say times are changin'

[00:01:27] The revolution is becoming second nature

[00:01:29] Causes are combining

[00:01:31] People carrying torches

[00:01:32] Hope burning from their hands

[00:01:33] Attaching explosive devices

[00:01:35] Cause they keep stealing their lands

[00:01:37] In the name of freedom

[00:01:38] Hijabs hoodies afros locks

[00:01:42] Teddy bear liquor bottle shrines rocks

[00:01:44] Tanks prayer rugs church pews

[00:01:46] Mexican corn stands

[00:01:48] Blood sweat and tears police batons

[00:01:50] Gas masks and bullets create graffiti on corners

[00:01:55] -End-
