Joa - Stacking Love to the Ceiling (Demo '05) Lyrics




Man man man man
We're just a part of the same long cycles, like generations of hatred with hands on bibles
Southern hospitality and sweet tea at it's finest
Letting our f*cked up choices be the thing that defines us
And I may not believe in God, but I believe in people
And I believe in the rights that all us people are equal
Truth is, I didn't need a law to tell me that
Just an open mind and acceptance of long hair and blistered tats
It just rips at me that I can't even start or begin
To tell someone I don't judge them by the color of their skin
Cuz before the words get out of my mouth, he's like "what then?"
And then, hell, I think I might as well give in - but maybe one day...

Maybe one day the world will just stop hatin'
Maybe one day all races will just stop racin'
We all have our points and our points are taken
Your point is here, come in - we're stackin' love to the ceilin'

It goes on and on and on and on and on....

Now stop
I ain't targeting no one - in racism, we're all victims, we're all heroes
We're all enemies and we're all symbols
We just gotta learn to decode our messages
Maybe then we could lean on what we thought would give in
Let our children play on the same playground and BE KIDS
Maybe then and only then will we stop passing on prejudice
To children who don't even know how to spell it
Or know better cuz their parents are the one's who delt it
So let us love and be loved
Maybe then and only then
Maybe then and only then could we start to begin
To take everything in our lives that was a sin
Put it together - and maybe we could build something, Come on!

Maybe one day the world will just stop hatin'
Maybe one day all races will just stop racin'
We all have our points and our points are taken
Your point is here, come in - we're stackin' love to the ceilin'

It goes on and on and on and on and on...

Maybe then and only then we could see
How this hatred has affected you and me
Keeping me up at night, trying to write when I should be asleep
It's making me late while it's keeping little Jimmy awake
Cuz someone at school called him the N word today
Tomorrow morning you're just gonna have to explain
And the sickest thing is that for some reason - that's okay!
Maybe if we just stop and communicate
Talk our issues out and just stop defending our state of emotion
Cuz we all know we're just angry at the notions
And If we stop to find we'd realize how to cure the pain - a potion
It's the power of one spread to the power of a million
The end of racism - stack love to the ceiling!

Maybe one day the world will just stop hatin'
Maybe one day all races will just stop racin'
We all have our points and our points are taken
Your point is here, come in - we're stackin' love to the ceilin' in here.

Come in, man
