about

i wrote this song when i lived in oakland. its a response to the pimps and drug dealers who worked outside my window. an idealistic hope that a less harmful path would rise to meet them and us all.

lyrics

Where

(chorus)
Some brothers say what they say
Oh girl I aint playin games
Cities fall as they may
Mine eyes are seekin better days
Where money don’t mean everything
Where race and class are passing flings
Where all the players pawn their rings
Where oneness is the joy it brings
Where

Competition and envy got me burnin
Out of control
My enemies in me
I can hold ‘em til they let me go
I been shuttin all my doors
Family phone calls I ignore
Thinin out my herd of friends
The sky grows dark until the end

Chorus

From a den of iniquity
Souls come out clean
Like a shinin light
Burnin off Babylon
From a mouth of a lion
Hearts come flyin
Stumbling to your thrown
Open up your windows
Prepare yourself for the final blow
Wont you spread your arms out wide
Cause all you got is what you hide

Chorus
Bridge
Right outside your window
There’s a war brewin
Are you in or are you out
Right outside your window
There song to be sang
We can make salat in the shade
Right outside your window
A cars being jacked
Somebodies daddy he aint ever comin back
Right outside your window
Rich men want us to die
And they wont tell us why
Right outside your window

chorus
