"My Petition"
-Jill Scott.

You say you mean good for me
But you don't do it
You say you have a plan but you just don't go thru with it
You say you know the way to go
And I should follow
But all of your empty promises
Leave me hollow

And oh
How do I trust you?
How do I love you?

When you
Lie to me
re-peat-ed-ly

And oh
How do I have faith? (in you)
When you just don't come thru
Like you say you could...

OhOooOh,
Oh say can you see?

You say that I'm wrong for......
Stating my o-pin-ion to you
You say that I'm wrong
and there'll be quiet consequences too

But I know my rights babe!
There'll be no law abridging
The freedom of my speech
Or the right for me to petition for a remedy
.........of grievances

And I want to trust you..
I want to love you.... yeah

But you lie to me re-peat-ed-ly

And oh
I want to have faith (in you)
But you just don't come thru
Like you said you could

OoooHoooo...
Oh say can you see?
Hmmm

I want fresh fruit, clean water,
Air that I don't see
I want the feeling of being safe on my streets
I want my children to be smarter than me!!!
I want, I want to feel
I want to feel, I want to feel FREE!

For real ya'll

I'm just telling you so you know
I want to, I want to have faith in you
I really do but you keep lying to me
It hurts
I believe, I believe you owe it me
Give it to me like you said you would
Hmmm
Oh say can you see?
Hmmm
Oh say can you see?
Oohh say can YOU SEE??
Hmmm

By the dawn's early light.............
