Let Me Out (banx & Ranx Remix) Lyrics - Mavis Staples

Yeah, Banx & Ranx 

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 neighbours 

They say the devil's at work and Trump is calling favours 

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 

(Woo!)

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) 

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 times 

But I won't get tired at all 

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

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 

(Ahh!) 

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) 

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 

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 

You'd best be ready for it
