Look Down: Vocals & Composition by NomiS (@NomisHipHop)
Verse 1:
LOOK DOWN, on the ones bleeding under you/
That aid and opportunity don't trickle down and funnel through/
And now you want to punish dudes?/
And withhold your compassion because of the scum of few?/
Son if you LOOK DOWN, then maybe that you wouldn't want to choose/
You'd see a person hurting, is standing right in front of you/
I ain't saying disregard your personal goals/
But there's a problem, I'm asking, "what you gonna do?"/
LOOK DOWN, and maybe think outside your bubble for a minute/
Just a couple, this world has got some trouble in it/
I ain't talking trouble as in Trillion Dollar Debt/
I'm talking 27 Million hollering to get respect/
LOOK DOWN, and show some mercy if you can/
'cause every grain in the sand, plays a role in how that castle stands/
Transport to 'Castle On a Cloud'/
I know a place where no ones lost in the crowd/
But you've got to LOOK DOWN, if you try you can find them/
But apathy can turn a fine eye to a blind one/
Who am I? Can I condemn this man to slavery/
Pretend that I don't see his agony? No, we need to LOOK DOWN/
Chorus:
LOOK DOWN and see the beggars at your feet/
LOOK DOWN and show some mercy if you can/
LOOK DOWN and see the sweepings of the street
LOOK DOWN, LOOK DOWN upon your fellow man/
Verse 2:
You know me as that dude from "On Behalf of the SIlenced"/
I was blunt and open, spoken on that factual violence/
Now I'm speaking on behalf of them have nots/
The ones who are forcefully trafficked, and little people like Gavroche/
A pad lock is chaining High Society/
Until the labor chain changes, they'll live on humble crumbs of piety/
Pick from the variety/
It's bigger than Blood Diamonds up in your timex. Seeking God he is guiding me/
Take your place, take your charge/
Vive la France, Vive la France/
I said take your place, if you think you're free/
You can follow me, you can follow me, LOOK DOWN/
Chorus:
Bridge:
Whens this gonna end, when we gonna live/
Somethings gotta happen now or somethings got to give/
It'll come……
Verse 3:
When you talk in a way that aligns with your day, in HIS name it'll come, it'll come/
When you're talking of change, and you strive for the same, in HIS name it'll come, it'll come/
When you're walking in grace , and you're guided by faith, in HIS name it'll come, it'll come/
If you're walking in change, we're on the same page. In his name it'll come, it'll come/
