Jefferson St.
Coretta Scott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been driving around these tired streets for so long
I find courage when you speak of what we're bound to
Some days it's slow motion films
Listen close as the blood loses pace in your veins
Spit to escape the taste of a life that was out to get you
other days there's a fire hearts burn hot
And our voices are raised in one faithful protest
We'll never give up, never give in
Keep on fighting we never give up, never give in
Felt like nothing ever mattered till you all came
And if I could do this all again I wouldn't change a thing
Some nights I crawled so deep into this bottle
Feared the worst that maybe someday I'd never get out alive
This is the worst that you have ever seen of me
I'm promising change, promising change in due time
