make it right. by Tune-Yards Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Top down doesn't cut it
Will I love you? Can I love you?
Top down doesn't cut it
Can I love you at all?
Top down never cut it
Like a brother, like a sister
Top down never cut it
Can I love you at all?
[Chorus]
So she asked was I willing to pay?
Not to punish but heal from this pain
Be the truth and live up to my name
I said "Go ahead, make me human"
Make it right, make it right, make it right, make it right
[Verse 2]
Wake up, woman, mirror
Say "I love you", can I love you?
Wake up, woman, mirror
Liberation for all
Wake up, woman, mirror
Never man enough, never man enough
Top down never lets you
Liberation for all
Top down doesn't cut it
Will I love you? Can I love you?
Top down doesn't cut it
Can I love you at all?
[Chorus]
In my voice you can hear what I owe
It's a debt from a long time ago
Poisons all of the seeds that I sow
So go ahead, make me human
Make it right, make it right, make it right, make it right
He cried out "Well, how much would it take?
There's no worth to a history I can't shake"
Was he willing for his children's sake?
To look ahead as a human
Make it right, make it right, make it right, make it right
[Bridge]
So go ahead, make me human
So go ahead, make me human
So go ahead, make me human
So go ahead, make me human
So go ahead, make me human
So go ahead, make me human
[Verse 3]
Wait up
Wait, wait, wait, wait
Wait up, woman, I
Like a brother, like a sister
Like a brother, like a s—
(Yep)
Top down doesn't cut it
Will I love you? Can I love you?
Top down doesn't cut it
Can I love you at all?
Top down never cut it
Like a brother, like a sister
Top down never cut it
Can I love you at all?
[Chorus]
So she asked was I willing to pay?
Not to punish but heal from this pain
Be the truth and live up to my name
I said "Go ahead, make me human"
Make it right, make it right, make it right, make it right
[Verse 2]
Wake up, woman, mirror
Say "I love you", can I love you?
Wake up, woman, mirror
Liberation for all
Wake up, woman, mirror
Never man enough, never man enough
Top down never lets you
Liberation for all
Top down doesn't cut it
Will I love you? Can I love you?
Top down doesn't cut it
Can I love you at all?
[Chorus]
In my voice you can hear what I owe
It's a debt from a long time ago
Poisons all of the seeds that I sow
So go ahead, make me human
Make it right, make it right, make it right, make it right
He cried out "Well, how much would it take?
There's no worth to a history I can't shake"
Was he willing for his children's sake?
To look ahead as a human
Make it right, make it right, make it right, make it right
[Bridge]
So go ahead, make me human
So go ahead, make me human
So go ahead, make me human
So go ahead, make me human
So go ahead, make me human
So go ahead, make me human
