Chi-Raq Page #11

---

Deaf and dumb.

But you see, the only one

we protecting is the gun.

So run, nigga, run.

I let it run out of me.

'Cause I'm finally free

from all these demons.

Finally, they leaving.

Finally, I'm breathing.

So bring the truth.

Bring the truth.

Bring the truth, brother.

Bring it.

He'll be all right.

Chi-Raq can take care

of himself.

That's Demetrius.

It's not Chi-Raq.

As Stevie Wonder sings,

all in love is fair.

Well, I ain't

too sure about that,

but for now I'll say yeah.

Lysistrata formed an army

more powerful

than the Roman Empire.

Burned through the city

just like that Chicago fire.

So remember

queen prophet Lysistrata

and the lessons

that she taught you.

The only real security

is love, y'all.

L-O-V-E.

Let's all together

make Chi-Raq

back into Chicago,

city of the broad shoulders.

Peace.

Two fingers.

Wake up!

This is an emergency.

I want to live

And breathe the air

of possibility

I want to live

To grow in love

for humanity

Just let me live

So that I can be

The best of me

I want to live

So that my spirit soars

throughout eternity

I'm shedding the pain

of my tainted past

Removing the stones

that block my path

I'm not defeated

I am victorious

I'm standing here today

I want to live

Just let me live

I want to live

Just let me live

I want to live

No more drowning

in the hurt

And the pain

I want to live

No sorrow or sadness

I'm tired

of that refrain

Just let me live

No more cloudy days

Standing at the grave

I want to live

To see

the bright sunshine

That heaven has to give

Renewed

sense of purpose

That I have found

Surroundings

that cannot hold me down

I'm not defeated

I am victorious

I'm standing here today

I want to live

Just let me live

I want to live

Just let me live

I'm shedding the pain

of my tainted past

Removing the stones

that block my path

I'm not defeated

I am victorious

I'm standing here today

I want to live

Just let me live

I want to live

Just let me live, yeah

I want to live

Just let me live

I want to live

Just let me live

I want to live.

How can I see

In a place

of deep darkness?

How can I see

Through a glass closed

from the madness?

Many thoughts running

Daily through my mind

Attempting to let

The noise of the day

drift behind

I see the light

In the midst

of the darkness

I see the light

That shines with hope

for tomorrow

That light

is the faith

That things

will be better

The faith to believe

That we all can love

one another

I see the light

Trying to escape

Sounds of the pain

that is so near

Looking for hope

In the midst of this pain

without fear

How do I find

Hope when death

is among us?

How do I find

Strength to go on

so defenseless?

I see the light

I see the light

In the midst

of the darkness

I see the light

That shines with hope

for tomorrow

That light

is the faith

That things

will be better

The faith to believe

That we all can love

one another

I see the light.
