歌詞
[Verse 1]
Didn't you hear? Black is a criminal
White is a crime, poison is the pen
Writin' down this children's nursery rhyme
[Verse 2]
Didn't you see him standin' next to me?
But the seeds of change have grown
We don't have to hide anymore
[Verse 3]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
That means trouble, there's a trouble on the other side
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
But maybe, it's a trouble of a hopeful heart
It's a trouble of a hopeful heart
[Verse 4]
It doesn't take much to see
If you're looking for an enemy
Greed and apathy spell the letters of our name, yes
Sit and laugh at other people fallin'
Making money off their shame and sorrow
Awaitin' for tomorrow to fix itself
[Verse 5]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
That means trouble, a trouble from the other side
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Maybe it's a trouble of a hopeful heart
[Verse 6]
Uh, it's a dark night to feed a stranger
Well, I don't have enough to feed myself
I keep tryna believe in believing
Something I can't see from where I stand
I pull it with a-my faith
A-with a smile on my face
[Verse 7]
It's gonna take a lot more
Than you might be used to
Who's to blame for not standing up for them
When it was not in style?
If a hope is a color of a man
The color of love is the color that can
Stand, stand for something
[Verse 8]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
That means, that means it's a trouble on the
Trouble from the other side
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Baby, baby, it's a trouble of a hopeful heart
Heart, heart
[Verse 9]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Baby, baby, trouble of a hopeful heart
Hopeful heart
It could be, hopeful heart, a hopeful heart
[Verse 10]
Hopeful heart
Yeah, hopeful heart
Mmm, hopeful heart
Hopeful heart
