Miguel - How Many (Demo) lyrics

[Intro] I cannot sleep I cannot rest I cannot dream I cannot stay silent I feel the violence in my soul I feel the violence in my soul [Verse 1] I'm tired of human lives turned into hashtags and prayer hands I'm tired of watching these murderers get off While we bury the lost, and loved, and innocent [Hook] Brothers and sisters it's time to wake up, wake up, wake up Brothers and sisters it's time you say something, do something, make 'em I wonder, how many black lives, how many black lives How many heartbeats turned into flatlines How many black lives, how many black lives Does it take to wake the change? Does it take to wake the change? Does it take to wake the change? We can't let them die in vain Does it take to wake the change? [Verse 2] I cannot wait and be quiet Aww, change does not come for the silent I'm tired of excuses for all of these injustices I'm tired of all the pain, I'm tired of being afraid I'm tired of all the d**h, tired of all, how to say? I'm tired of the blood and all I'm saying, all of man [Hook] Brothers and sisters it's time to wake up, wake up, wake up Brothers and sisters it's time you say something, do something, make 'em How many black lives, how many black lives How many heartbeats turned into flatlines How many black lives, how many black lives Does it take to wake the change? Does it take to wake the change? Does it take to wake the change? We can't let them die in vain Does it take to wake the change?
