Justice
Ayọ feat. Citizen Cope Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I found this brand new gift
Looking for somebody to share it with
I found this brand new right
Something within me all of my life

There's so much trouble in the world
Surrounded by miracles
So much hatred undeserved
But it will not work because

Still my love will be received
Still my heart is in need of release
Yet still my love will be received
Yet still my heart is in need of release

And it ain't about justice
When it's not about what was, what is
When it's not about what's left
When it's not about the next step

When it ain't about justice
When it's not about what was, what is
When it's not about what's left
When it's not about the next step





I found this brand new riff
