Kehlani Lyrics
"Collect Call"

(Verse)
In the presence of struggle, everyone has hope
But what if we run out?
There's no rich and no poor, no waves on the shore
All the trees burn down, we're ruinin' our own mother
Stomping her right to the ground
Then when we beg for forgiveness, we never walk the while

(Pre-Chorus)
I know you can hear me, I feel you all around
I hope you will answer while I'm praying on the ground
I've got questions, God
Like why don't ya tell us what we're doin' wrong?

(Chorus)
Do you hear me, you hear us?
My city, my people
We calling, we calling, we calling on you
Do you hear me, you hear us?
My city, my people
We calling, we calling, we calling on ya

(Verse)
The streets getting crazy just like the 80'
We're zombies and don't even know it
The sick just get sicker, from cancer and liquor
And nobody cares to control it
We all know what's happenin', sum people only play dumb
But I can't ignore it no mo', I won't run...

(Pre-Chorus)
I know you can hear me, I feel you all around
I hope you will answer while I'm praying on the ground
I've got questions, God
Like why don't ya tell us what we're doin' wrong?

(Chorus)
Do you hear me, you hear us?
My city, my people
We calling, we calling, we calling on you
Do you hear me, you hear us?
My city, my people
We calling, we calling, we calling on ya

(Bridge)
Hands together
Knees on the ground
Heads in the clouds, yeah
Praying out loud!
Lost innocence cuz I'm just lookin'
For clarification on what I'm doing wrong?

(Chorus)
Do you hear me, you hear us?
My city, my people
We calling, we calling, we calling on you
Do you hear me, you hear us?
My city, my people
We calling, we calling, we calling on ya
