Lyrics
MIRACLE
Hey Mama, can you keep my dinner warm
ran into trouble on my way home
my hands are in the air, but this cop don't seem to care
he says I fit the profile of some criminal out there
oh mama I think I need a miracle tonight, tonight
hey mr officer, please don't point your gun at me
my heart is pounding with ptsd
run my license, go ahead and rock that ticket
see, I just want to leave this scene without you killing me
oh mama I think I need a miracle tonight, wow , miracle tonight
you got your handcuffs, you got that stun gun too
you got the pop, pop,pop if I run away from you
don't run, mama says don't try to run
bullets start flying when you panic, son
woh oh oh, I need a miracle woh oh oh a miracle tonight
woh oh oh I need a miracle, a miracle
tonight, tonight, tonight
