Tell it Like it Is Lyrics by Tracy Chapman

Tell it Like it Is Lyrics

    Say it say it say it Tell it like it is
    Say it say it say it Tell it like it is
    What breaks your heart
    What keeps you awake at night
    What makes you want to breakdown and cry
    But say you'll never turn your back
    Say you'll never harden to the world
    Say you'll never try to still the rhythms in your breast
    Say you'll never look at the evil among us and try to forget
    Say you'll tell it like it is

    Say it say it say it so everyone can hear
    Say it say it say it tell it like it is
    What breaks your hear
    What keeps you awake at night
    How your anger and grief
    Make you want to cry out
    And tell it like it is
    But say you'll never close your eyes
    Or pretend that it's a rosy world
    Say you'll never try to paint
    What is rotten with a sugarcoat
    Say you'll talk about the horrors you've seen and the torment you know
    And tell it like it is

    Say it say it say it
    So no one can forget
    Say it say it say it Tell it like it is
    What breaks your heart
    What keeps you awake at night
    What makes you want to break the ties that silence and bind
    And tell it like it is
    Say you'll never cover your ears and close your mouth
    And live in a silent world
    Say you'll only run as far or as fast as you need to be secure
    Say that then you'll tell the truth
    When a lie could cross your lips
    And tell it like it is

    Say it say it say it - Say it say it say it
    Say it say it say it - Say it say it say it
    Say it say it say it - Say it say it say it
    Say it say it say it - Say it say it say it
