Let It Be
I stand before the Injustice and I cannot see
Don't understand it so I just let it be
I inhale the air I can't see it but I can feel it
I don't understand it but yet I believe it so I just let it be
What is my purpose and why am I here
I don't understand it and how is it that I can feel
No answer to this so I guess I'll just let it be
I look all around me and I see
I won't focus on it I just let it be
Inflation in this nation I have no voice I have no choice
I won't focus on it so I just let it be
I am not a bully a bully I can't be
I have no way around it how can I solve it so I just let it be
I am overweight and eat everything I see
I can't help it so I let it be
Girls and women are still treated inferior
Yes I am a man in power but it seems it even weirder
How can I help the calls
So I just throw my hands up against the wall
And just let it be
Hail falls down comes from the sky
Puts quarter-sized dents on top of my car
Who am I to ask why so I just let it be
I hate Injustice yet Injustice loves me
I am captive of my society yet my society says I'm free
So in all of this I still just let it be
I was born ethnic and ethnic is what I be
Born of a race with no equality
For the color of my skin is plain and you can see
Best shade the color I'm in I can't change so I just let it be
Wars all around me hatred too what am I to do
For they hate me too
So I must do what I know to do it may sound foolish to you
As you stand there in awe and stare
I solve all of the above problems in prayer
You can also join me or still just stand there and stare
But you could to fall on your knees in prayer
But I guess if you don't want to join me
And you have my former negative thinking philosophy
And you won't change your way of thinking
Well I guess you have have to just
Let It Be
