Usher - Hush (2009) lyrics
Usher Raymond
[Usher - Hush 2009 lyrics]
Tonight, I say to the American people
To Democrats and Republicans and independents
Across this great land
Enough! This moment this
Moment this election, is our
Chance to keep, in the 21st century
The American promise alive
Every day he wakes up in
His million dollar home
His life is like a video
The only reality he knows
He jumps inside of his
Hundred thousand dollar car
Cruising up the boulevard
Driving pass people living hard
Complains about the gas prices
But still supports the war
He complains about his 6-figure salary
Tax to feed the poor
He doesn't understand the homeless
Doesn't think it's genocide
That millions die from three lethal letters
So he does sh to make it better
And I'm thinkin' new
Everybody wanna touch the sky
And nobody wants to reach back
For the ones who are scared to fly
Everybody wants Heaven
If you don't wanna sacrifice
You don't say nothing don't say nothing
(Ooh, hush) Don't say nothing
That's the promise of America the idea
That we are responsible for ourselves
But that we also rise or fall
As one nation the fundamental belief
That I am my brother's keeper
I am my sister's keeper
(Ooh, hush) Don't say nothing
She watches television full
Of fabricated show
Thinks the world is just a joke, but oh
Little does she know
That there's a real life drama
Happening right outside her door
'Cause she continues to ignore
But she's like the TV
The story repeats, yeah
She's searching through the channels
Skipping pass the news
She's more entertained by lies and gossip
'Cause it hurts to see the truth
She complains about the nation
Thinks it's a waste of time to vote
She says the world has been corrupted forever
No one tries to make it better
And I'm thinking who
It's time for them to own their failure
It's time for us to change
America and that's why I'm running for
President of the United States
Everybody wanna touch the sky (O oh)
And nobody wants to reach back
For the ones who are scared to fly
(Scared to fly)
Everybody wants Heaven (Heaven)
If you don't wanna sacrifice (Oh)
Don't say nothing, no don't say nothing
(Ooh, hush)
Don't say nothing (Hand to your brother)
Ooh, hush (Hand to your sister)
(Don't say nothing)
(Ooh, hush, Don't say nothing)
Ooh, hush (Don't say nothing)
The fundamental belief that I am
My brother's keeper I am
My sister's keeper that's the
Promise we need to
Keep that's the change we need
Right now you can
Decide whether we're gonna travel
The same worn path
Or whether we will chart a new course
That offers real hope for the future
To Democrats and Republicans and independents
Across this great land
Enough! This moment this
Moment this election, is our
Chance to keep, in the 21st century
The American promise alive
Every day he wakes up in
