Promised Land (Feat. Kanye West, Adam Levine)

앨범 : Yes We Can : Voices...
Now what ya’ll finna hear is an update/
On what we have been on as of late/
See I was reading the late notice/
On the date that I wrote this you hear/
Time flies in the leer/
And you wonder where the day went/
see I’m a leader in my field/
But I’m behind on my truck payment/
so this is something that can help you raise your head like hello/
This is not brown, red, or yellow/
Not a white or a black poem/
This is a prayer to a guardian angel/
To protect our fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, sons, and daughters/
Until we bring our troops back home/
Cause it feels like we’re all in the same platoon/
and we will all be extinct soon/
if we continue to suffer from other peoples crimes/
I think we well overdue for change/
This time/
And I know they don’t wanna see me cooped up in this benz/
They would rather see me cooped up in these pens/
therefore I realize the ink that’s cooped up in these pens/
and let my art-ticulate /
People are so slow to love/
Or so quick to hate/
Now some things finna change because we say so/
Lets stop looking at how bad things are /
And focus on how well they may go/
and this is a declaration that we’ll be there again/
Especially to those Americans/
Who were Americans before there were Americans/
This is to a small young family that’s moving out of space/
There’s room in outer space/
This is to my people/
The human race/
Chorus: I need you to take us to the promise land,
Don’t just make us promises,
it’s too late to let go of our hand/
they say we need a prophet/
That can touch on the topics and make it hot as the tropics/
Well, you got it/
Everybody saying please don’t let go of our hands/
I hear it over and over like an echo/
I see it in my dreams/
I feel the effect though/
people trying to in debt somebody to their rescue/
everybody saying that we need something special/
Naw, man we need something extra terrestrial/
Out of this world, speak for us be the vessel/
Out of the box, Reach for it through the threshold/
Through all of the stress though/
What’s best of all people screaming like a festival/
Just a blog/
This moment is special ya’ll/
Oooh/ Whoa/ I need you to…/
And I need you to
