Exile - The E.N.D. lyrics

[Intro] What's up world It's Aloe Blacc Been tryna let y'all know it's only one world we live in But all I could do Is just let you know through these lessons [Verse 1] My momma told me in so many words Don't ever let nobody keep me from getting All the things I deserve But she' probably take it back if she knew When it catch up to me one day What' this karma gonn' do 'Cause I' been running from my past like a convict Trapped in my own guilty hell of a [?] Grabbing the sky Like a blanket let it cover my sin Little boy trying to wash the blackness off of my skin 'Cause nobody ever called me a king Had to learn it myself Had to evaluate my personal wealth But see society was telling me that evil was black And the media was supporting the fact 'til I learn all the facts And I read them books And then I' seen how the inside of a white lie looks And then I dreamed of a Martin Luther king and a Malcom Then I scream 'cause I wasn't really expecting the outcome See this gleam of all better tomorrow Shot down in a minute All of my hopes and my dreams gone wit' it Then my momma' voice came back and that's what did You need to get what you deserve son get it Momma I'm gonn' get it [Chorus] (Over sample) Yeah I need your help let's heal this world There's so many things we need to change C'mon if you' coming with me [Verse 2] God bless the children Whose dreams reach the top of the ceiling While n***as is k**ing outside they' tellin me build us [?] And God bless the ladies Who' make the babies Tryinna make love but can't make enough nah And God bless the brothers Who spend like 20 years here then they hover above us And God bless the rest who rest in peace d**h called 'em out they had to challenge the beef No peace, God bless to the east and the west We already laid to rest, two of the best And I could play that white dude with a "S" Instead I play that black dude by any means with a "X" And y'all youngsters don't really gotta be so bold There's no hope for a sheep in wolf clothes Take my advice n***as save your souls I'm twenty something years old and I'm breaking them all And I don't do it for show I do it to show you I love you that much and I don't even know you I love you that much and I don't even know you I love you that much 'til the END [Chorus] (Over sample) Yeah I'm saying the world keep turning around And while we' here we gotta change as much as we can All of that hate sh**, dead it 'Cause we' so close to the END [Outro] Exile, forget all that bullsh** man you' my muhfukin heart Yeah, Let's stick together we' gon' make it to the END hommie Everybody else, you can come along with us Or you can forget us
