Big K.r.i.t. Man On The Moon Lyrics

[Chorus]
We can put a man on the moon
(How did we put a man on the moon?)
But we can't stop the hunger pains (The hunger pains)
Desperation hunger brings (That hunger brings)
We can put a man on the moon
(How did we put a man on the moon?)
But we can't stop the shooting (The shooting)
Political collusion (Collusion)
It's confusing how we put a man on the moon
[Verse 1]
I'm looking at the stars
The peace I need beneath my feet, the moon is kind of far
Them law patrol the road, I'm barely safe off in my car
Hitting the store and make it home is something like going out to Mars
It's hard to pay the bills, how I'm supposed to leave the planet?
I swear them astronauts never landed, left for stranded
In the hood, skin tone still getting looks
And I'm supposed to think it's all good, 'cause

[Chorus]
We can put a man on the moon
(How did we put a man on the moon?)
But we can't stop the hunger pains (The hunger pains)
Desperation hunger brings (That hunger brings)
We can put a man on the moon
(How did we put a man on the moon?)
But we can't stop the shooting (The shooting)
Political collusion (Collusion)
It's confusing how we put a man on the moon

[Verse 2]
But boy, they can't agree
When they go and divide the pie, no slices were left for me
And ain't no golden ticket to a distant rock, don't change it
Ain't no Black folk in Willy Wonka, I'm saying
Wrote us out the script, history'll never know Even if you get you a degree, ain't no job to go
Tell me how Mother Earth on fire, but it's raining though
How we ever made it outer space, guess I'll never know, 'cause
[Chorus]
We can put a man on the moon
(How did we put a man on the moon?)
But we can't stop the hunger pains (The hunger pains)
Desperation hunger brings (That hunger brings)
We can put a man on the moon
(How did we put a man on the moon?)
But we can't stop the shooting
Political collusion
It's confusing how we put a—

[Refrain]
Take me to your leader (Take me to 'em), your leader
Take me to your leader (Take me to 'em), your leader
Take me to your leader (Take me to 'em), your leader
I can save the world, I can save the world (Take me to your leader)

[Verse 3]
Mass destruction, past combustion, boom
Too much concrete constantly for flowers to bloom
As the fires raging, animals caged and stages
Filled with people, fill the pockets of the regal
(Who we know) Preaching from the steeple
(Who we know) Pained, broken-down and feeble
(Who we know) Fight against the evil
If not you, take me to your leader
[Refrain]
Take me to your leader (Take me to 'em), your leader
Take me to your leader (Take me to 'em), your leader
Take me to your leader (Take me to 'em), your leader
I can save the world, I can save the world (Take me to your leader)

[Outro]
Take me to your leader
I can save the world, I can save the world
