Текст Hendersin – Waiting
Текст:
Hendersin:
We’re reaping all the benefits
Being treated like degenerates
Until the shoe is on the other foot
Nah
It’s really not my mission
It’s easier to speak than it is to really listen
Easier to sit than it is to take a stand
Before you take action you got to make a plan
And
It could be small
Help somebody up when they fall
Be on the other end of the line
When they need a call
If I give the man change and he buy alcohol
Well
Who am I to judge
Keep us moving forward
I’m just trying to nudge
And I know you’re probably going to ask why
Might be a long shot
But I have to try
John Mayer:
Me and all my friends
We’re all misunderstood
They say we stand for nothing and
There’s no way we ever could
Now we see everything that’s going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
To rise above and beat it
So we keep waiting
Waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting
Waiting on the world to change
Hendersin:
We’ve made our leaps and bounds
And with my beats and sounds
I’m going to try to spread peace around
I’m going to try to be the person that I need to be
I want to thank all of the people that believed in me
Now
Turn around
Believe in yourself
Take a look at what you got
Your family
Your health
Be thankful for the memories
Think on what you did
You holding down a job
Providing for your kid
But I swear man
Life just isn’t fair man
Eight hour shifts just sitting at a chair man
Making all the money for the chairman
Phil Collins for the night cause
I can feel it in the air damn
Racism’s still alive
You say it’s better than it used to be
But if I get stopped
Well it still says a lot
I got to worry about them shooting me
John Mayer:
Me and all my friends
We’re all misunderstood
They say we stand for nothing and
There’s no way we ever could
Now we see everything that’s going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don’t have the means
To rise above and beat it
So we keep waiting
Waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting
Waiting on the world to change

I mean uh
Sometimes
It just feels crazy like
There’s just so much wrong with the world
And you kind of feel like you can’t change shit
Uhm
I think personally for me
You know growing up
Being the only black kid
Uh
Ya know
One of the only black kids around
I faces a lot of racism
A lot of prejudice
Uhm
And the way I was able to deal with it was
Basically you know
I didn’t hold
Uhm
That against anyone
You know
If someone has a preconceived notion
Or you know
Stereotypes me
Or is prejudice towards me
Because of my skin color
Uhm
I can’t really just change that by yelling at them
Or being angry
What I would just do
And what I continue to do
Is I just try to be the best me I can be
I just be me
Uhm
And hopefully
You know
They’ll learn and see that
You know
The shit they were thinking before
Isn’t true
Uhm
And I think if I just do that
And continue to do that
It should help
Uhm
Because I know I really feel like
There’s so much shit going on
And sometimes you just get lost
And like what the fuck can I do
But I just try to take it day by day
Uhm
Yeah
