The Perceptionists - Sak Pase lyrics
[The Perceptionists - Sak Pase lyrics]
Little Helena feels the weight of
The world on her shoulders
Mentally and in addition to the
Weight of the boulders and the rubble
That's crushing her frame
She's in a lot of trouble
Her auntie's nearby whispering "I love you"
But the situation's bleak zoom out
This tragedy took more than one room out
Destruction and mayhem throughout
The Nation of Haiti was
Rocked by an earthquake
Brittle houses collapsed after
The first shakes
One of the worst places this could happen
Because the country is poor even though
The people are full of passion
Hurts to see the first free Black
State wait for food Sir
But they've gotta see Anderson Cooper
See when they liberated from France
They set a standard for all
Black people to advance
Little Helena didn't make it
But her will to live is what
Inspired me to write this
For Haiti we ignite this
Devastation of another Nation
Folks in dire situations trying to be patient
Help is coming but the
Looters through the streets wanna flee
But the blood is leaking through your feet
It's looking bleak
Body crushed, but your soul is strong
Holding on
Cause your memories are never gone
Life's glory add this to your life's story
I was there i survived
I'm alive we'll rebuild again
So don't worry
But for now, bodies in the streets
People dying over water and food
Fighting to eat
Fighting sleep cause I might slip
Into God's arms reaching for an angel's palm
But, I'm not gone then my body got strong
Let my voice ring blacked out then woke up
To people hoisting me from my death bed
To get fed
These are people from my neighborhood
So this is what I said
The world on her shoulders
Mentally and in addition to the
Weight of the boulders and the rubble
That's crushing her frame
She's in a lot of trouble
Her auntie's nearby whispering "I love you"
But the situation's bleak zoom out
This tragedy took more than one room out
Destruction and mayhem throughout
The Nation of Haiti was
Rocked by an earthquake
Brittle houses collapsed after
The first shakes
One of the worst places this could happen
Because the country is poor even though
The people are full of passion
Hurts to see the first free Black
State wait for food Sir
But they've gotta see Anderson Cooper
See when they liberated from France
They set a standard for all
Black people to advance
Little Helena didn't make it
But her will to live is what
Inspired me to write this
For Haiti we ignite this
Devastation of another Nation
Folks in dire situations trying to be patient
Help is coming but the
Looters through the streets wanna flee
But the blood is leaking through your feet
It's looking bleak
Body crushed, but your soul is strong

Life's glory add this to your life's story
