[00:00.00]	作词 : K.Warsame
[00:12.34]	Heaven,is there a chance that you could come down
[00:18.28]	And open doors to hurtin'people like me
[00:22.53]	People like me,people like me
[00:30.78]	People like me,people like me
[00:35.97]	Is it fair to say that I am stressing out?
[00:38.41]	I'm stationed in Iraq and they won't let me out
[00:41.47]	My homeys said I was stupid for even joining
[00:44.47]	My counselor said that my decision was disappointing
[00:47.60]	How she had good slate for good state colleges
[00:50.91]	And with my good grades it wouldn't have been a problem
[00:54.04]	But they don't understand just the power of significance
[00:56.29]	More than brilliance and certainly more than dividends
[01:00.04]	And if you ask me now,would I repeat it?
[01:03.10]	Would I fight in a war I don't believe in?
[01:05.72]	Well,the answer is if not me where the cancer is
[01:09.16]	They been doing this before Jesus of Nazareth
[01:12.72]	And after all this time it is still deadly hazardous
[01:15.79]	And Bush isn't really being all that inaccurate
[01:17.98]	When he says,we're winning the war 'cause it's staggering
[01:21.41]	But thats 'cause we're killing everybody that we see
[01:24.60]	And most of us soldiers we can barely fall asleep
[01:26.98]	And time and time again I'm feeling incompetent
[01:29.29]	'Cause my women back home,we're constantly arguing
[01:32.04]	And I must be crazy 'cause all I'm obsessing with is
[01:35.91]	Her MySpace and face book and who's commenting
[01:38.79]	I swear to God if she's cheatin'I'm doin'her ass in
[01:42.73]	I can tell with one look and it came to me
[01:45.29]	Sounding something like a song hook,sayin'
[01:48.66]	Heaven,is there a chance that you could come down
[01:55.94]	And open doors to hurtin'people like me
[01:58.38]	People like me,people like me
[02:02.50]	People like me,people like me
[02:11.21]	Meet Sarah,the proud mother of young Sebastian
[02:14.84]	Suburban professional went to college in Ashton
[02:17.46]	In self pity she suddenly cried
[02:21.09]	Would my life be important if I suddenly died?
[02:23.72]	Neighbors saying what a nice women she was
[02:27.03]	Keeping mostly to herself ever since the divorce
[02:29.09]	And with the company down sizin'and the fall and all
[02:32.91]	She really shouldn't take it that personal at all
[02:35.84]	It wasn't her boss who had his eyes on her thighs
[02:39.22]	And got a rise from her risin'off the desk though
[02:42.03]	And despite rememberin'sayin'no plenty of times
[02:45.09]	It was still a damn surprise being let go
[02:48.09]	And now stuck with a mortgage she can't afford
[02:50.91]	And too educated to blame the corporate world
[02:53.10]	She got on welfare and hated it,case work a power trippin'
[02:57.28]	And generally being degraded
[02:59.10]	If nothing else she was treated sick
[03:02.34]	And ineffective which is the worst thing
[03:05.28]	That she'd been left with
[03:06.66]	Damn,no magic from David Blane
[03:10.22]	No painter to pain this pain
[03:11.84]	No Morgan Freeman to narrate the shame
[03:15.10]	So she took refuge and prayer
[03:17.04]	Kinda like findin'God in the phone book
[03:19.66]	And it came to her
[03:20.91]	Sounding something like a song hook,sayin'
[03:23.91]	Heaven,is there a chance that you could come down
[03:31.02]	And open doors to hurtin'people like me
[03:34.27]	People like me,people like me
[03:39.29]	People like me,people like me
[03:44.10]	I guess,I told you about myself to a degree
[03:51.23]	Just by telling you about people like me
[03:54.23]	But people like me they speak politely
[03:56.85]	They don't start no beef or piece of white meat
[04:00.48]	Everybody gotta eat but everybody doesn't
[04:02.23]	Which is why I want to tell you about my favorite cousin
[04:06.48]	He and I grew up where the sun shines
[04:08.73]	And we both partook with the gun crimes
[04:11.41]	And we both liked American rap rhymes
[04:14.86]	Even though we didn't understand one line
[04:17.86]	If you remember my line of notes in my last album
[04:21.23]	I talked about a close call with a grenade
[04:24.17]	I think we both must have been about seventh grade
[04:27.23]	But don't panic we both survived without damage
[04:29.48]	But we developed a bond like we survived the Titanic
[04:32.73]	So when the country became frantic
[04:34.23]	My mother tried to get us out,planned it
[04:37.30]	To the last detail except the plan got derailed
[04:39.80]	'Cause there wasn't enough money for the plane tickets
