Darkest Hour

HOOK: Victoria Monet I scream at the top of my lungs But my voice can't keep saving youngs You're proud of what we've become? What's left now? Where can I go? VERSE 01: I had a dream that the world changed For a minute there will be no shame So we can actually be something we claim I heard lyrics from Mr. Shakur But I woke up to realize that people are poor Bodies wounded from the height of they door How many people gonna be mad over riots? When the mother of Freddie Grey is crying I wish I could let us free from the silence With all these people who like to start violence It always timeless when people are mindless HOOK: BRIDGE: Victoria Monet + BKP (I think we all) We all have our own darkiest hour (I think we all) We all have our own darkiest hour (We just need) A little more love (The world needs) A little more love VERSE 02: This world's motto is money equals power And in my world money controls everything that matter I watch as we in our darkiest hour Cause the greatest government seems to be as corrupt with these killing officers I spend my time always worryin about you You as a human all your thoughts what ya through But we'd rather gossip and watch TMZ or CNN news listen and retell The news is misspelled, tell me is my life price worth seven dollars? These news tells me blacks just grow up to lose Just cause we might sag and fight, or use youtube as hype? Doesn't mean we don't abide by the red and blue stripe HOOK: BRIDGE 1: BRIDGE 2: BKP You can't give up like they tell you Stop like they tell you Be told you don't seem capable of being successful they tell you But I'm tryna tell you, fuck what they tell you OUTRO: (I think we, uhh) And in these hard times As a part of this generation's young men and women I claim peace, love, and happiness I can see that you might not see great in me But I'd rather die on two feet than die on my knees If I can't live free right now in this world we are almost in (the darkiest hour)
