Let Me Out

[Verse 1: Pusha T] Mama Mavis, oh, Mama, they tried my patience {Obama} is gone, who is left to save us? {Orlando,} we mourn, I'm praying for my neighbors They say the devil's at work and {Trump} is calling favors You say I'm dangerous, I speak for the nameless I fly with the vultures, I be with them bangers If change don't come, then the change won't come If the bands make 'em dance, then the rain gon' come (Woo!) [Chorus: Mavis Staples] Am I passin' into the light? (Am I looking into mercy's eyes?) Look into your eyes All the world is out of your hands (Then ascending into the dark, let me out) You got to die a little if you wanna live Change come to pass Change come to pass You'd best be ready for it [Post-Chorus: 2-D] Something I've begun to fear is about to change its form Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a shift in times But I won't get tired at all [Interlude: 2-D] Let me out Let me out Let me out Let me out [Verse 2: Pusha T] Look into my eyes, mama, tell me what you see Tell me there's a chance for me to make it off the streets Tell me that I won't die at the hands of the police Promise me I won't outlive my nephew and my niece Promise me my pastor isn't lyin' as he preach Tell me that they'll listen if it's lessons that I teach Tell me there's a heaven in the sky where there is peace But until then, I keep my piece in arm's reach [Chorus: Mavis Staples] Am I passin' into the light? (Am I looking into mercy's eyes?) All the world is out of your hands (Then ascending into the dark) Another night You got to die a little if you wanna live Change coming You'd best be ready for it [Post-Chorus: 2-D] Something I've begun to fear is about to change its form Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a shift in times But I won't get tired at all [Chorus: Mavis Staples] Am I passin' into the light? (Am I looking into mercy's eyes?) All the world is out of your hands (Then ascending into the dark) Another night You got to die a little if you wanna live Change, oh, change is coming You'd best be ready [Outro: Mavis Staples] Be ready, ready for it Be ready, be ready (Let me out)
