Mavis Staples - Let Me Out lyrics

[Verse 1: Pusha T] Mama Mavis, oh Mama, they tried my patience Obama is gone, who is left to save us? So together we mourn, I'm praying for my neighbors They say the devil's at work and Trump is calling favors You say I'm dangerous, I speak for the nameless I fly with the vultures, I be with them bangers If the change don't come, then the change won't come If the bands make them dance, then the rain gon' come (Woo!) [Pre-Chorus: Mavis Staples + Pusha T] Tell my pastor look to the light Am I looking into mercy's eyes? All the world, lend me your hands I ascend and another dies! You got to die a little If you wanna live, change from the past You best be ready for it [Chorus: 2-D] Something out the country Fear is about to change it all Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a shift in time But I won't get tired at all [Refrain: Pusha T] Let me out! Let me out! Let me out! Let me out! [Verse 2: Pusha T] Look into my eyes, mama Tell me what you see Tell me there's a chance for me to make it off the streets Tell me that I won't die at the hands of the police Promise me I won't outlive my nephew and my niece Promise me my pastor isn't lyin' as he preach Tell me that they'll listen if it's lessons that I teach Tell me there's a heaven in the sky where there is peace But until then, I keep my piece in arm's reach (Yeah!) [Pre-Chorus: Mavis Staples + Pusha T] Tell my pastor look to the light Am I looking into Moses' eyes? All the world, lend me your hands I ascend and another dies! You got to die a little If you wanna live, change is coming You best be ready for it [Chorus: 2-D] Something out the country Fear is about to change it all Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a shift in times But I won't get tired at all [Pre-Chorus: Mavis Staples + Pusha T] Tell my pastor look to the light Am I looking into mercy's eyes? All the world, lend me your hands I ascend and another dies! You got to die a little If you wanna live, change is coming You best be ready for it (Yeah!) [Outro: Mavis Staples] Be ready Ready for it Be ready Be ready Oooh, oooh oooh
