Shaken / Promised Land (2020)

Lyrics

Shaken

Am I the way you remember me
Am I the same as before
You’re as bad as you wanna be
So the less I know the more
Don’t tell me lies 
It don’t work quite that way 
Don’t tell me lies 
You can’t carry that weight

Oh those shots are ringing out
That’s the way it’s been here lately 
Oh those walls are coming down 
I noticed the ground was shaking, shaking 
But I’m still standing here shaking, shaking

I’m not the way you remember me 
I’m not the same as before 
I’m as good as I want to be
So the less you know the more
I won’t tell you lies
I wasn’t raised up that way 
I won’t tell you lies 
I can’t carry that weight

Oh those walls are coming down
I noticed the ground was shaking, shaking
But I’m still standing here shaking, shaking
I’m still standing here shaking, shaking

I know, I know, I know, I know, I’m okay 
with the seeds I am sewing
I know, I know, I know, I know, I’m all right 
because they keep on growing 
I see, I see, I see, a part of me 
That I want to be showing
I shine, you shine, we shine a light for the world 
And we won’t be going out 
Oh, oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh,
(and we won’t be going out)
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh, 
(and we won’t be turning down)
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, 
(and we won’t be going out)
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh, 
Oh, oh, oh.

Oh those shots are ringing out
And that’s the way it’s been here lately
Oh those walls are coming down
I noticed the ground was shaking, shaking
But I’m still standing here
Shaking, shaking
I’m still standing here
Shaking, shaking
I’m still standing here
Shaking, shaking
I’m still standing here
Shaking, shaking
I’m still standing here
I’m still standing here
I’m still standing here
I’m still standing here

Promised Land

They tell you love don’t cost a thing
Them folks all got diamond rings
And they say it’s the punch
That you don’t see coming
They can’t hit me if I don’t stop running

We are what they aren’t
We do what they don’t
We love how we live
We live how they won’t
We say what we say
And we don’t give a damn
We ain’t living no Promised Land
Until the day that we die they drink from our cup
Sell us a lie, and we buy it up
I’m just a fool who understands
We ain’t living in no Promised Land
We ain’t living in no Promised Land
We ain’t living in no Promised Land

They say work real hard and it all works out
From their penthouse suite or their spot uptown
I can hear the sound of the footsteps coming
Yeah but they can’t hurt me if I don’t fear nothin’

We are what they aren’t
We do what they don’t
We love how we live
We live how they won’t
We say what we say
And we don’t give a damn
We ain’t living no Promised land
Until the day that we die they drink from our cup
Sell us a lie, and we buy it up
I’m just a fool who understands 
We ain’t living in no Promised Land
We ain’t living in no Promised Land
We ain’t living in no Promised Land

We are what they aren’t
We do what they don’t
We love how we live
We live how they won’t
We say what we say
And we don’t give a damn
We ain’t living no Promised Land
Until the day that we die they drink from our cup
Sell us a lie, and we buy it up
I’m just a fool who understands 
We ain’t living in no Promised Land
We ain’t living in no Promised Land
We ain’t living in no Promised Land

We are what they aren’t
We do what they don’t
We love how we live
We live how they won’t
We say what we say
And we don’t give a damn
We ain’t living no Promised Land
Until the day that we die they drink from our cup
Sell us a lie, and we buy it up
I’m just a fool who understands 
We ain’t living in no Promised Land
We ain’t living in no Promised Land
We ain’t living in no Promised Land
