Gorillaz feat. Mavis Staples & Pusha T: Let Me Out – egy éve írt dal a Donald Trump győzelme utáni világról

Damon Albarn még 2016 tavaszán kérte fel Pusha T-t, hogy írjon rapbetéteket a Let Me Outhoz egy hipotetikus Donald Trump-győzelem utáni világvégebuli hangulatában, és a rapper ennek megfelelően a szövegbe a távozó Barack Obama mellett Trump nevét is beleírta – a múlt havi londoni ősbemutatón úgy is adták elő élőben, de a most közzétett stúdiófelvételen autóduda szól a nevek helyén.

Mama Mavis, oh
Mama, they tried my patience
Obama is gone, who is left to save us?
So together we mourn, I’m praying for my neighbors
They say the devil’s at work and Trump is calling favors
You say I’m dangerous, I speak for the nameless
I fly with the vultures, I be with them bangers
If change don’t come, then the change won’t come
If the bands make ’em dance, then the rain gon’ come

Am I passin’ into the light?
(Am I looking into mercy’s eyes?) Look into your eyes
All the world is out of your hands
(Then ascending into the dark, let me out)
You got to die a little if you wanna live
Change come to pass
Change come to pass
You’d best be ready for it

Something I’ve begun to fear is about to change its form
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s a shift in time
But I won’t get tired at all

Let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out

Look into my eyes, mama, tell me what you see
Tell me there’s a chance for me to make it off the streets
Tell me that I won’t die at the hands of the police
Promise me I won’t outlive my nephew and my niece
Promise me my pastor isn’t lyin’ as he preach
Tell me that they’ll listen if it’s lessons that I teach
Tell me there’s a heaven in the sky where there is peace
But until then, I keep my piece in arm’s reach

Am I passin’ into the light?
(Am I looking into mercy’s eyes?)
All the world is out of your hands
(Then ascending into the dark) Another night
You got to die a little if you wanna live
Change coming
You’d best be ready for it

Something I’ve begun to fear is about to change its form
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s a shift in times
But I won’t get tired at all

Am I passin’ into the light?
(Am I looking into mercy’s eyes?)
All the world is out of your hands
(Then ascending into the dark) Another night
You got to die a little if you wanna live
Change is coming
You’d best be ready

Be ready, ready for it
Be ready, be ready

Let me out
