letra de outside lookin' in - sal jordan

[verse 1]

i heard a story on the news that made me shiver
forensics found a pistol at the bottom of a river
the bullet that was matching gat was found inside a head
of a little girl travelin to school, shot dead
i thought about it for a while then went on with my day
i’m tapin something big i’m trynna reach the usa
but then i stopped and pondered bout if i would wanna stay cause outside lookin in it ain’t really lookin safe, check

who don’t admid it the kid witty stay lit as a clipper
ironic what spark the ease off the stress eventually gets ya
this world wicked and riddled by dirty systems
don’t sit, they k!lling the world and you are a witness
we’re born to follow but some who are born commited
you pick em out the crowd easily at given instance
but those born gifted and use for personal interest at cost of everybody ‘s the curse
do the ignorant the worst
world lead by men reciting the vile maxim
all for me nothing for others, watch it translate
all in the bag, all this for me or i’ll blast ya
real lies elsewhere, realize it in their casket
then it’s too late

[bridge]

and as the beat goes on, we sing this song
but reset standard at the break of dawn, and earth rotates
watch it rotate, now watch it rotate, now watch it rotate

the earth rotates, now watch it rotate, and watch it rotate, now watch it rotate

[verse 2]

i saw some footage on the news that made me cringe
two men dressed in uniform had a guy pinned
the fright was on their faces as the man would try and plead
the cop pulled out a gun and shot him all just watched him bleed
i thought about it for a while then went on with my day
i’m tryna write a hit i wanna reach the usa
but then i stopped and wondered if i’d really wanna go
cause outside lookin in it ain’t as great as it’s supposed wow

is that a god watchin over you?
the same god that told them cops what they were posed to do

the land of the free, where the gutter gets no ladder
where cops need a reminder that black lives matter
where you get guns and drugs, and they all believe in angles
where they throw them in that system kids, molded by the danger
where they, treat you like an animal, then shoot when you start wildin out
no safety in my stumach only fear when i hear sirens now
i’m lookin at them n-ggas chasin that bravado life
thought up quick, sh-t never dawns on em twice
they want the fat lady singin but don’t wonder whats the opera like
it ain’t granted neither so they say it’s ride or die tonight
but then it’s too late..

[bridge]

and as the beat goes on, we sing this song
but reset standard at the break of dawn, and earth rotates
watch it rotate, now watch it rotate, now watch it rotate

the earth rotates, now watch it rotate, and watch it rotate, now watch it rotate
