GOT TO KNOW Lyrics

lyrics by brandon fleming music by sisterpete
 
Cut away our smiles
put them on a shelf to decay
I don’t care what you think
or what you have to say
we discriminate
and love the things that we’re suppose to hate
why can’t we love
but all we do is push and shove
 
and I wonder why we do the things we do to our families
yeah I wonder why we do the things we know we should not do
 
pressure’s rising all the time
people standing in a line
just to hit and beat me down
I feel impressions all around
 
and I wonder why

selfish ambition
repetition
ceilings falling
caving down
please don’t touch me
I won’t hurt you
all these things, going through my head

and I wonder why we do the things we do to our families
yeah I wonder why we do the things we know we should not do
and I wonder why we do the things we do to our families
yeah I wonder why we do the things we know we should not do
 
do people touch and peel your skin
wrap you up in bandage, lame
patiently I hear the sound
the drop, a pin, the only sound
