St Kaepernick Wept

[Intro]

St Kaepernick Wept

[Verse 1]

See the odds are stacked against

And they're waiting for you to fail

So you trace your steps in snow, make it rain, make it hail

He's gonna use his legs to run past the end zone

He's gonna use his heart to grow wings

[Verse 2]

And in the congregation, waiting for the Holy Ghost

He's gonna sing a song that will wake up the whole world

All the brethren and sistren were waiting for a Mr

To lead us to the promise land

Well I hope I haven't missed you

[Bridge 1]

All I see are signs

All I feel are limits

All we see is broken

All we feel is finished

Trying to fix a system that we can never win in

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't Omarosa on me now

The dollars in the NFL

Will not put words in my (will not put words in my)

Will not put mouth in my mouth

[Chorus]

See, I don't believe in heaven

But I believe in you

See, I don't believe in heaven

But I believe in you, you

[Post-Chorus]

St Kaepernick Wept

St Kaepernick Wept (St Kaepernick wept)

[Bridge 2]

What does the flag mean to the ghost of Emmett Till?

When it's freedom, liberty and justice, but not for all

He's was gonna change the face of your ghetto neighborhood

If you'd let him live

Riding through the trees

Your forefathers swung from

We must teach our sons to cower

We must teach our sons to run

If they want to live

'Cause he got got standing on the block

Said the wrong thing to the wrong cop

Oh, well, what's he got?

Paid leave, a full stop

'Cause he got shot whilst his kids watched

Sign of the times as the world clocked

He was just another hand out for welfare

Headed to the prison industrial complex

[Chorus]

See, I don't believe in heaven

But I believe in you

See, I don't believe in heaven

But I believe in you

See, I don't believe in heaven

But I believe in you

See, I don't believe in heaven

But I believe in you, you, you

[Bridge 3]

The road ahead is long

And the path you chose, far gone

When they smear your name

You know you've done us proud

And we won't forget what you gave for us

[Outro]
