Got to me by King RAP Lyrics
GOT TO ME
Watching the news and all the refugees
Saw blank stares on their faces, down on their luck and on their knees in random different places
And it got to me. Yeah, it really got to me
Saw a kid on the street just living hand to mouth
Can’t believe that people turn a blind eye and don’t stop to help them out
And it got to me. Yeah, it really got to me
So been thinking ‘bout how I should now be grateful for my life
Got money, job and endless stuff. I’m taking life in my stride. And it got to me. Yeah, it really got to me
I don’t need to ask how ends can meet. Got everything I need
I know I’ve got a future and more than a chance to succeed
And it got to me. Yeah, it really got to me
So I’m saying to myself , “Am I just someone who turns away?”
Leaving it to someone else to fix what just won’t go away
And it got to me. Yeah, it really got to me
How much do I really value life, if my hands stay in my pockets
If I don’t give a little, to change a little and get stuck right in to stop it
And it got to me. Yeah, it really got to me
Watching the news, I don’t shut off, I get down off my fence
Finding ways and means to lend a hand and shake of my indifference
Cause it got to me. Yeah, it really got to me
TRUTH BE TOLD
I have a problem that makes me feel afraid
Running so much deeper than the choices I’ve made
Sometimes the right solution is close, so near
Though when life’s kept at arms’ length there’s hurt and fear
But it’s hard to begin to try to heal
When the hurt runs too deep, it’s so very real
Need to plant in my mind the will to succeed
If the truth be told, I know just what I need
So I’m ready to begin to resolve this now
Keep my distance from saying I don’t know how
If my thoughts I begin to rearrange
I could win this battle and effect the change
But it’s hard to begin to try to heal
When the hurt runs too deep, it’s so very real
Need to plant in my mind the will to succeed
If the truth be told, I know what I need
Need to leave this problem and do what’s right
Raise it onto a high shelf way out of my sight
Now increase the distance between me and what’s wrong
So, I start to believe I belong and I’m strong
But it’s hard to begin to try to heal
When the hurt runs too deep, it’s so very real
Need to plant in my mind the will to succeed
If the truth be told, I know what I need
So, I’ll forgive the world, including myself
For not fixing the hurt that so long I’ve felt
I will value being different and take my stand
Knowing it’s OK to be who I am
I have a problem that makes me feel afraid
Running so much deeper than the choices I’ve made
Found the solution it was close, so near
Time to play my part and live life without fear
Watching the news and all the refugees
Saw blank stares on their faces, down on their luck and on their knees in random different places
And it got to me. Yeah, it really got to me
Saw a kid on the street just living hand to mouth
Can’t believe that people turn a blind eye and don’t stop to help them out
And it got to me. Yeah, it really got to me
