Swing

Still don't mean nothin'
Was written on the concrete
The words weren't on my tongue
Cause we don't talk about it
Day or no evenin', fashion or superman
Just little warped people
With little black minds
Well I wasn't sure just what to think
Say the lights went out
Somebody, somebody swing
Don't wanna, don't wanna talk anymore
Somebody swing
Don't wanna talk no...noWhat if we're tainted
Who can we lie to
What if we're dying
Would you just walk around it
Well I wasn't sure just what to think
Say the lights went out
Somebody, somebody swing(chorus)
Don't wanna, don't wanna talk anymore
Bring boy, can you bring me down
Can you swing
Don't wanna, don't wanna talk anymoreShut your violence, keep your head down,
Watch your anger boy, realize you could lose
This is violence, look for reason
This don't have to make sense to anybody at all
Then everybody, won't you swingNo still don't mean nothin'
Words written all over the concrete
All over the concrete
Rage gets you out, so you swing(chorus)
I don't wanna talk no no no no
Can you swing
(chorus)
