Sighted Blind by Agnes Hustler Lyrics
[Intro]
I see desperate eyes through the concrete
I see people strive to things nobody need
They call people rich that have nothing at all
Nothing at all
But I wanna switch
Redefine
Reach your mind
People sighted but blind
[Verse 1]
People wake up in the morning
Next day gone without warning
Smell of police down my home street
They took my friend outta here
I got away with all of my deeds
Lost myself was so free
But tied up in machinery
Taught us
Good girls on top of the game
Keep your A's straight you’re winning this game
You’ve got all that people miss but
I’m not gonna live like this
Trade all of my impunity
For a community
Where people
Are a unity
But some are so filled with greed
Lost ability to see
[Pre-Chorus]
What is wrong
What is right
When they flee take the fight
It’s gon' take us centuries
Reach the day we all are free
[Chorus]
Soul is burstin' from inside
Forces cracking each disguise
When they’re telling you to choose
Cut em' loose
Cut em' loose
Can you see straight through a skin
Feel the power strained within'
'Cuz the one that’s standing strong
Ain’t alone
Ain’t alone
Soul is burstin' from inside
Forces cracking each disguise
When they’re telling you to choose
Cut em' loose
Cut em' loose
Can you see straight through a skin
Feel the power strained within'
'Cuz the one that’s standing strong
Ain’t alone
Ain’t alone
[Verse 2]
People wake up in the morning
Snort the shit up
Without warning
Ain't no police
Down their home street
But she was sent off with conscience clean
She took the pain for our deeds
Her part of machinery
Taught us
Bad girl on bottom of chain
Keep your calm you can’t win this game
She got all my people miss
But she could never live like this
She ain't got no impunity
But a community
Where people
Are a unity
But some are so filled with greed
Lost ability to see
[Pre-Chorus]
This is wrong
This ain't right
When they flee take the fight
It's gon' take us centuries
Reach the day we all are free
[Chorus]
Soul is burstin' from inside
Forces cracking each disguise
When they’re telling you to choose
Cut em' loose
Cut em' loose
Can you see straight through a skin
Feel the power strained within'
'Cuz the one that’s standing strong
Ain’t alone
Ain’t alone
[Bridge]
You could let each soul be live
Look a stranger in the eye
But you can’t take back
Lost life
Let’s talk now that we’re near
'Cuz one day we won’t be here
Time has come to remind
People
[Chorus]
Sighted but blind
Sighted but blind
Sighted but blind
Sighted but blind
Sighted but blind
Sighted but blind
I see desperate eyes through the concrete
I see people strive to things nobody need
They call people rich that have nothing at all
Nothing at all
But I wanna switch
Redefine
Reach your mind
People sighted but blind
