Can you feel the air tonight
Warm under candlelight
Don't know where we'll stay tonight
Hungry but I'll be alright
God bless America, the lives of the hopeless
Look at my eyes, bloodshot red, navy blue
Who are you? Yeah, we're all feeling oppressed
This America, what is new
Go downtown, see the homeless
They keep scrapping for their food, Table for two
As I think about what we been going through
Yeah, we're poor, cops keep looking at us
Like they gotta score
If you go to take a life, there's no way you can repour
I'm so scared for my children's sake
They don't know the stakes
Nowadays, you walking through those doors, you see a 44
Three children are reported dead
I need to address, I ain't no saint
The lives I touched, the lies I taint
Look in the mirror, life ain't what you think
Life's so short, so you better not blink
Cause we all bleed the same, so you better not rank
Screams from the world and it sounds so faint
Red, white, and blue, they try to cover the world in paint
Can you feel the air tonight
Warm under candlelight
Don't know where we'll stay tonight
Hungry but we'll be alright
God bless America, the lives of the hopeless
War outside, pick a side
I'mma choose the human life
Every time I go on socials, I see more about Palestine
Just like home, I keep seeing all these kids that carry chromes
Cause you cannot fix his mental if he in a broken home
Filled with hate, when I was around, I tried to educate
But it's hard just to be a family that don't motivate
I won't evade, but sometimes I think that I should give a call
Think you crying out for help from all the drama that I saw
I just hope that I'm not too late, that you do escape
I have seen too many die, I don't want you to have that fate
Nah, cease fire from all the drugs and the killing
I just know one day we gon' all be healing
But cease fire from all the wars in the streets
To the east, will we ever see peace? I just feel so
Can you feel the air tonight
Warm under candlelight
Don't know what we'll say tonight
Hungry but we'll be alright
God bless America, the lives of the hopeless
