Justice
Ayọ feat. Citizen Cope Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
