People (Feat. Wretch 32) - Laura Mvula
Oh love
Kill my people and drown them dead
Down in the river of lights
I'll fall
To drive us out to the end and take
A dream and bury them deep
Could I reach down
deep inside myself
Pull out the gold
How glorious this light in us
We are a wonder
How glorious this light in us
We are a wonder
Oh love
They strip us down
and rape our minds
Our skin was a terrible
thing to live in
And now
With hand in hand
we free our souls
Remind us of our glory
Could I reach deep
down inside myself
Pull out the glory
How glorious this light in us
We are a wonder
How glorious this light in us
We are a wonder
How glorious this light in us
We are a wonder
How glorious this light in us
We are a wonder
How glorious this light in us
We are a wonder
See my flow
Dark skin I'm a GLO
They gon feel my flow
Dark skin I'm a GLO GLO
We seen the films we starred in 'em
The dollars they flew til
we reached our limit
They tied us to a corner
it reached its limit
I can still smell the skin
in the streets I live in
Do you feel like quitting
Do you feel like quitting
Don't know
if I can just believe again
Don't know
if I can trust a priest again
This has gone way past reasoning
There ain't no reason to reason with
Said I grew in it now I don't know
if I should grow with it
Or I should let go of it let go of it
Let go of it
Trying to find answers
trying to find answers
That'll only make your
head go missing
My gran said
curiosity killed the cat
And her best friend went with it
Life's a bitch oh life's a bitch
Pain to no more read you with
Pain to no more shoot you fear
Pain to no more team you in
You're middle-class
you're a class-A sinner
You're selling dreams
from a living nightmare
I'm gonna shine
cause my people died here
I'm gonna shine
cause my people diamonds
Dirt so dead
I wanna put the light here
put the light here put the light here
Smell Martin Luther in the air
The moral of the story is glory
So everybody's winning 'round here
Ah yeah
Said ah yeah
Ah yeah ah yeah
