Comin' For You
Rising Against Silence: Unveiling Social Realities in Chris Horn's 'Comin' For You'
Lyrics
Life is tough
Expressing the difficulty of life.
Everything is rough
Describing a challenging and harsh environment.
Enough's enough
Conveying a sense of reaching a limit or breaking point.
Of the killing stuff
Addressing the issue of violence or harmful actions.
Of the killing stuff
Repetition emphasizes the severity of the "killing stuff."
Of the killing stuff
-Some people are always sayin
Pointing out a common sentiment expressed by some people.
You're livin' your life like a king
Observing a perception of living a luxurious life.
White people are always sayin
Highlighting a contrasting perspective from white individuals.
But I don't know what you mean
Expressing a lack of understanding regarding the mentioned perception.
You're never around to see it
Noting the absence of someone to witness a situation.
And it's so uncomfortable too
Describing discomfort associated with the absence.
But if you refuse to acknowledge
Emphasizing the consequences of refusing to recognize a problem.
Pretty soon we'll be coming for you
Warning that action will be taken if the issue persists.
Coming for you
Repeating the declaration of imminent action.
Coming for you
-Hear them out
Encouraging listening and understanding.
See what it's about
Promoting investigation and awareness of a situation.
We gotta help them out
Advocating for assistance or support.
We gotta help them out
Reiterating the call for help.
We gotta help them out
-If white people had to pay for their privilege
Suggesting a hypothetical scenario where consequences are faced.
Then we'd all be poor
Implies that not everyone benefits equally, addressing privilege.
Systemic racism still exists now
Acknowledging the persistence of systemic racism.
And we don't want it no more
Expressing a collective desire to end systemic racism.
You're never around to see it
Repeating the theme of someone being unaware of an issue.
And it's so uncomfortable too
Reiterating the discomfort associated with ignorance.
But if you refuse to acknowledge
Warning of impending consequences for refusing to acknowledge.
Pretty soon we'll be comin for you
Repeating the declaration of imminent action.
Comin for you
-Comin for you
Final emphasis on the impending action.
