"Separate Us" lyrics

"Separate Us"

Tell me where you wanna go
Grab a bag, call a cab
Pick you up at the back door

They'll separate us
Try anything just to make us go
Try to silence us
They'll try to break us and hurt us

They'll separate us
Hoping we'll be theirs to form
Hoping that we'll give up
Fall victim to their system

I pray for freedom
As motherfuckers try to shut us down
But I'll never leave ya
Instead of run
I'ma come for them

I keep praying for freedom
For they are not gonna slow us down
Meet us at the forefront
Instead of run
We gon' confront

When a tender thought
Meets a brutal kiss
Did we create this?
To a moon so full
And a knife so sharp
How could we resist?

Church bells chime
As a sign of all the signs we missed
We must insist, so
We must coexist, go

I pray for freedom
As motherfuckers try to shut us down
But I'll never leave ya
Instead of run
I'ma come for them

I keep praying for freedom
For they are not gonna slow us down
Meet us at the forefront
Instead of run
We gon' confront

Instead of run
We'll come undone
Broken pieces of a time bomb
Together we're the response
Put together we're the evidence

Church bells chime
As a sign of all the signs we missed
We must insist, so
We must coexist, go

I pray for freedom
As motherfuckers try to shut us down
But I'll never leave ya
Instead of run
I'ma come for them

I keep praying for freedom
For they are not gonna slow us down
Meet us at the forefront
Instead of run
We gon' confront

They'll separate us
They'll segregate us
Scare us and hurt us

They'll separate us
They'll segregate us
