My Petition Lyrics

Artist: Jill Scott
Album: Beautifully Human: Words & Sounds 2

You say you mean good for me
But you donâ‚¬â„¢t do it
You say you have a plan but you just donâ‚¬â„¢t go thru with it
You say you know the way to go
And I should follow
But all of your empty promises
Leave me hollow

And oh
How do I trust you
How do I love you
When you
Lie to me repeatedly
And oh
How do I have faith, in you
When you just donâ‚¬â„¢t come thru
Like you say you could

Oh, say can you see (2x)

You say that Iâ‚¬â„¢m wrong for
Stating my opinion to you
You say that Iâ‚¬â„¢m wrong and thereâ‚¬â„¢ll be quiet consequences too
But I know my rights babe
Thereâ‚¬â„¢ll be no law abridging
The freedom of my speech
Or the right for me to petition for a remedy of grievances

And I want to trust you
I want to love yeah
But you lie to me repeatedly
And oh I want to have faith in you
But you just donâ‚¬â„¢t come thru
Like you said you could
Oh say can you see
Hmmm

I want fresh fruit, clean water,
Air that I donâ‚¬â„¢t see
I want the feeling of being safe on my streets
I want my children to be smarter than me
I want, I want to feel
I want to feel, I want to feel free
For real yaâ‚¬â„¢ll
Iâ‚¬â„¢m just telling you so you know
I want to, I want to have faith in you
I really do but you keep lying to me
It hurts
I believe, I believe you owe it me
Give it to me like you said you would
Hmmm
Oh say can you see
Hmmm
Oh say can you see
Oohh say can you see
Hmmm
By the dawnâ‚¬â„¢s early light
