The Perceptionists - Early Mourning lyrics
[The Perceptionists - Early Mourning lyrics]
A new day coulda been dawning -
But we’re left with the
Taken down by the world they were born in
Leaving us to
The grid got us underperforming
Leading people to their
Courage comes from within like endorphins
Lets overcome the
No mother should have to bury her child
But still it's young brothers lying
In the cemetery for miles
In lockup it's few attempts at rehabilitation
In the hood it's no
Attempts at reconciliation
Brothers coming out don’t wanna
Deal with no humiliation
Its power in numbers so it's gang affiliation
But is that inherently in our souls
Or would maybe things be different if
Our neighborhoods were lit and patrolled
Would we still be seen as savages
If we could have the lavishness
Commit crimes more than what
The national average is?
We civilized but we minimalized
And unfortunately many turn to criminal lives
Its no surprise blinded eyes
Can’t vigil the prize
With politicians bullshittin in
Their civil disguise
When we put this all together
Men and women will rise
We mourn as another broken individual dies
A new day coulda been dawning -
But we’re left with the
Taken down by the world they were born in
Leaving us to
The grid got us underperforming
Leading people to their
Courage comes from within like endorphins
Lets overcome the
Yo, this world could have been
Anything that we wanna
We've got so much to offer
Yet we settled on slaughter
Are these the things that we've
Done with our posable thumb
Plus our fascinating brains
Painting pathways to pain explain:
How do we go from children who
Were brimming with vast imagination
Filled with fascination
To fueling this land of fabrication?
You can check it on your local station
Fuck it, It's on every station
Corporations crush your local farmer
The government's in bed with big Pharma
The cops who shot ya rocking big armor
They like to wear it to corral a protest
The democracy where they don't think
The people know best? From electoral college
To falsified knowledge
Somebody told me slavery has been abolished
Tax laws the backdrop
For feet they've hacked off
Showed the police signs for peace
They never backed off
A new day coulda been dawning -
But we’re left with the
Taken down by the world they were born in
Leaving us to
The grid got us underperforming
Leading people to their
Courage comes from within like endorphins
