"unwelcoming" lyrics

Joy Oladokun Lyrics

"unwelcoming"

Hold my head high
Hold my head high

If I speak, will you surrender?
'Cause I've held my tongue too many times
I can't breathe under the pressure
You know I've been sold too many lies

I'm getting by in an unwelcoming world
They've been looking for a stranger to burn
They've been whispering some dangerous words
It's an unwelcoming world

Hold my head high
Keep my eyes dry
Long days, hard nights
It's an unwelcoming world
Hold my head high
Keep my eyes dry
Long days, hard nights
It's an unwelcoming world

I've been on the low
Looking for the promised land
It's not really for me
Try your best to understand
I've been on the low
Looking for the promised land
It's not really for me
Try your best to understand

I'm getting by in an unwelcoming world
They've been looking for a stranger to burn
They've been whispering some dangerous words
It's an unwelcoming world

Long days, hard nights
It's an unwelcoming world
