I Am i-D Lyrics - Allow Me Say

I Am i-D - Allow Me Say

Just for a second if you people would allow me say
How many of you took a step outside your world today
How longs it really been since you tried to communicate
Share your opinion with a stranger in a peaceful way
They say we false
It's city living but the streets ain't got no pulse
Like we don't care
Im feeling all alone is anybody out there
Wake up one day
And realise that chasing paper chased our lives away
Did we try to change
Oh no
My brother told me it's a crying shame
So people care about material things
My social conscience got me wanting to commit my brain
Make something of me then give back to my community
Your mind at ease
While somewhere else there's someone crying in their sleep
We got empty homes
While people line the street's they ain't got nowhere to go
If we could trade, I'd take your money so that I could take their pain away
Maybe we could all be saved
But no
It doesn't look like that's gon happen
It doesn't look like that's gon happen
Eh eh eh, it doesn't look like that's gon happen
It doesn't look like that's gon happen
Make no mistake, life is hard it is challenging it is confusing
And yes, we are each individually charged with our own survival
But survival does not entail isolation
The subsistence of one does not require the destruction of another
This fallacy is but a product of the society we have created
And while inequality is claimed to be a matter of perspective
Too many will continue to turn a blind eye
Sentiment is not a weakness
It builds bridges, and forges alliances
So that we may stride on towards tomorrow
And the next day
And the next day
Not shackled by fear
But liberated by our shared humanity
