Alex Schechter - Believe Me [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook]
Oh, oh, Believe me, oh believe me

[Verse 1]
Believe me
When I stand here
Asking for a minute
Asking for a witness
Our country is in shambles
And I’m not talking sickness
But our judges can’t get it right
Unless theres a black witness
Whites and blacks can’t get along
Bottled up frustration
About whos right and whos wrong
Let’s work together
Go against brutality
Put evil under pressure
And treat each other like family
Speak this from my breath
I fight for people's freedom
Eradicate our past
And we try to mislead them
Its us vs them
Thats when we all gang up
We throw away the key
Before we even lock the handcuff
I feel the fire from the gun
Pop from the shot
A soul lifted up
A mom starts to sob
We want to look away
It’s so damn wrong
But we made it seem this way

[Hook]
Oh oh, Believe me, oh believe me (x2)

[Verse 2]
Money doesn't matter here
It’s all about the hate
Bottled up for ages
What really makes this straight
Homie I don't doubt you
This shit is real
We all play it down
But it’s not a joke you feel
I feel it for Oakland
And I feel it for Camden
I feel it for Washington
And I pray for New Orleans
A gun is just a toy
Find it in the aisle
Why thank you Walmart
For making it juvenille
Who do we think we are
No right to shoot
This ain't your life
So hands up don't shoot
It really is that simple
We take away the guns
We to take away the privilege
And we’re in it for the long run
Hands up
Hands up
We can all get through it
Using the peace and the music
So if you stand with me
I need to hear your voice
Lets all sing along
Show me this country has a choice
