Promised Land

(앨범: David Shaw - 2021)

They tell you love don't cost a thing
Them folks all got diamond rings
And they say it's the punch that you don't see coming
They can't hit me if I don't stop running, running, running, running

We are what they aren't, we do what they don't
We love how we live, we live how they won't
We say what we say and we don't give a damn
We ain't living in no promised land
Until the day that we die they drink from our cup
Sell us a lie and we buy it up
And I'm just a fool who understands
That we ain't living in no promised land
We ain't living in no promised land
We ain't living in no promised land

They say work real hard and it all works out
From their penthouse suite or their spot uptown
I can hear the sound of the footsteps coming
Yeah, but they can't hurt me if I don't fear nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing

We are what they aren't, we do what they don't
We love how we live, we live how they won't
We say what we say and we don't give a damn
We ain't living in no promised land
Until the day that we die they drink from our cup
Sell us a lie and we buy it up
I'm just a fool who understands
That we ain't living in no promised land
No, we ain't living in no promised land
We ain't living in no promised land

We are what they aren't, we do what they don't
We love how we live, we live how they won't
We say what we say and we don't give a damn
We ain't living in no promised land
Until the day that we die they drink from our cup
Sell us a lie and we buy it up
I'm just a fool who understands
That we ain't living in no promised land
We are what they aren't, we do what they don't
We love how we live, we live how they won't
We say what we say and we don't give a damn
We ain't living in no promised land
Until the day that we die they drink from our cup
Sell us a lie and we buy it up
I'm just a fool who understands
That we ain't living in no promised land
No, we ain't living in no promised land
We ain't living in no promised land
