Let Me Out (feat. Mavis Staples & Pusha T)

Mama mavis oh

Mama they try my patience

is gone, who is left to save us

we mourn, I'm prayin' for my neighboors

They say the devil's at work, and is callin' favors

You say I'm dangerous

I speak for the nameless

I fly with the vultures

I be with them bangers

If change don't come, then the change won't come

If the bands make 'em dance then the rain gonna' come

(Woo!)

Am I passin' into the light

(Am I lookin' into mercy's eyes?) Lookin' throught your eyes

All the world is outta' your hands (Then acsendin' into the dark)

You got to die a little (If you wanna' live) If you wanna' live

(Change come to pass) Change come to pass

You best be ready for it

Something I've begun to fear is about to change it's form

Yeah, yeah, yeah it's a shift in time, but I won't get tired at all

(You best be ready for it)

Something I've begun to fear is about to change it's form

Yeah, yeah, yeah it's a shift in time but I won't get tired at all

(Ready for it)

Look into my eyes mama tell me what you see

Tell me there's a chance for me to make it off the streets

Tell me that I won't die at the hands of the police

Promise me I won't outlive my nephew and my niece

Promise me my pastor isn't lyin' as he preach

Tell me that they'll listen if it's lessons that I teach

Tell me there's a heaven in the sky where there is peace

But until then i keep my piece in arm's reach

Am I passin' into the light

(Am I lookin' into mercy's eyes?) Lookin' through your eyes

All the world is outta' your hands

(Then ascending into the dark)

You got to die a little

(If you wanna live) If you wanna live

(Change come to pass) Change come to pass

You best be ready for it

Something I've begun to fear is about to change it's form

Yeah, yeah, yeah it's a shift in time, but I won't get tired at all

(You best be ready for it)

Someting I've begun to fear is about to change it's form

Yeah, yeah, yeah it's a shift in time, but I won't get tired at all

(Ready for it)

(Ready for it)

(You best be ready for it)

(Ready for it)

(You best be ready for it)
