Con Perfect Way To Die (La forma perfecta de morir), Alicia Keys denuncia la violencia contra la comunidad afroamericana
Vuelve nuevamente a ¡De Impacto! Alicia Keys, la ganadora de 15 premios Grammy, con Perfect Way To Die (La forma perfecta de morir), una canción para denunciar la violencia contra la comunidad afroamericana. A través de su cuenta de Instagram, la afamada cantante publicó: «He sentido que la música me ha llamado como no me había llamado antes».
Simple walk to the corner store/ Mama never thought she would be gettin’ a call from the coroner/ Said her son’s been gunned down, been gunned down/ Can you come now?/Tears in her eyes? Can you calm down?/Please, ma’am, can you calm down?
But it rained fire in the city that day, they say/ A river of blood in the streets/ No love in the streets/ And then came silence in the city that day, they say/ Just another one gone/ And they tell her move on/ And she’s stuck there, singing...
Baby, don’t you close your eyes/ ‘Cause this could be our final time/ And you know I’m horrible at saying goodbye/ And I think of all you could have done/ At least you’ll stay forever young/ I guess you picked the perfect way to die/ Oh, I guess you picked the perfect way to die.
New job, new city, new her/ Bright-eyed, you would have been proud if you knew her/ Flashing lights in the mirror, pull over, pull over/ A couple nights in detention and it’s over, a whole life’s over.
They came marching in the city that day, they say/ Carryin’ signs in the street/ Cryin’ eyes in the streets/ But they heard nothing from the city that day, they say/ Just another one gone/ And the city moved on/ We’re stuck here singing...
SE REPITE DESDE… Baby, don’t you close your eyes... HASTA... perfect way to die.
Another dream lost/ Another king and queen lost/ Another broken promise they refuse to make right/ Oh, another night to live in fear/ Oh, another night that you’re not here/ Another reason to get out there and fight/ But I said:
SE REPITE DESDE… Baby, don’t you close your eyes... HASTA... perfect way to die.
