Anthony Russo - Armor lyrics

[Verse 1: Ryan Oakes] I woke up with a blessing, I look straight to the heavens Said I could feel that holy presence telling us to raise our weapons I said all of this aggression ain't the way to spread a message Time and time the world is testing all of these outdated methods I'm just trying to raise the bar Yeah, we know those time are hard We all divided we can't let the media tear us apart I tell ya it's time to give some heart Be the people that can spark The world that can change the way we living, man it's time to leave a mark That's for Christians and m**ms and anybody of color Who feels mistreated on my single parents, couples and lovers It's time to put your weapons down and stop k**ing each other You are not black and I'm not white you're just my sisters and brothers [Hook: Anthony Russo] We don't have to act like everything's all right I know what you've been through, I know that you're not fine You don't have to put armor, armor, for me I know it's been a long day, it's all gone the wrong way But please don't give up, don't throw it all away You don't have to put armor, armor, for me [Verse 2: Ryan Oakes] I look around and it ain't hard to tell the world that it's at its tipping point This generation it could change it all with just a different point of view An opportunity to go and make a difference choice and bring the world together Man, It's time to hear a different voice Cause all that's on your TV is a bunch of visions They try to turn us on eachother, we've been stuck in this rhythm I'm trying to show the world that it ain't hard to get out of the prison That's leading us to the end, I got these different visions Where people don't judge others based on only religion A world where people don't see color as a sign of suspicion A place united as a world where everybody is living And if you look to your left that person wouldn't be different [Hook: Anthony Russo] We don't have to act like everything's all right I know what you've been through, I know that you're not fine You don't have to put armor, armor, for me I know it's been a long day, it's all gone the wrong way But please don't give up, don't throw it all away You don't have to put armor, armor, for me [Bridge: Anthony Russo] Swords and shields won't change how you feel Let your guard down, that's when it gets real No Superman's, nobody made of steel Gotta recognize the wounds if you ever want to heal (x2) [Hook: Anthony Russo & Ryan Oakes] We don't have to act like everything's all right I know what you've been through, I know that you're not fine You don't have to put armor, armor, for me I know it's been a long day, it's all gone the wrong way But please don't give up, don't throw it all away You don't have to put armor, armor, for me
