Sak PaseThe Perceptionists

[Verse One: Akrobatik]
Little Helena feels the weight of the world on her shoulders
Mentally and in addition to the weight of the boulders
And the rubble
That's crushing her frame
She's in a lot of trouble
Her auntie's nearby whispering "I love you"
But the situation's bleak
Zoom out
This tragedy took more than one room out
Destruction and mayhem throughout
The Nation of Haiti was rocked by an earthquake
Brittle houses collapsed after the first shakes
One of the worst places this could happen
Because the country is poor even though the people are full of passion
Hurts to see the first free Black state wait for food Sir
But they've gotta see Anderson Cooper
See when they liberated from France
They set a standard for all Black people to advance
Little Helena didn't make it
But her will to live is what inspired me to write this
For Haiti we ignite this

Chorus

[Verse Two: Mr. Lif]
Devastation of another Nation
Folks in dire situations trying to be patient
Help is coming but the looters through the streets
Wanna flee, but the blood is leaking through your feet
It's looking bleak
Body crushed, but your soul is strong
Holding on, cause your memories are never gone
Life's glory
Add this to your life's story
I was there
I survived
I'm alive
We'll rebuild again
So don't worry
But for now, bodies in the streets
People dying over water and food
Fighting to eat
Fighting sleep cause I might slip
Into God's arms
Reaching for an angel's palm
But I'm not gone
Then my body got strong
Let my voice ring
Blacked out then woke up
To people hoisting
Me from my death bed
To get fed
These are people from my neighborhood
So this is what I said...

Chorus
