Maxwell - We Never Saw It Coming Lyrics






Blindsided by them
Recording as I stare
The cross is burning
No chance to overcome
I feel them parking
I guess my night has come
Is this real
No restitution

I am here, falling in circles far
Sorrowfully I fall
We never knew at all
We never saw it coming
Like a truck that's passing
A gun that's blasting
I feel the lashing

We've never been so divided
Scattered and spread among
Like useless ashes
The phoenix overcomes
And what can I do, I know
It's all I want, uncontrollable
We never saw it like the bombs that's blasting
Religious clashing
The world is asking

We never saw it
We never, never saw it
Coming...
Coming...

  11. J.... A....

    A missing component of this song is the placing of minorities in ghettos and the injustices brought onto these by a socialist system that has fomented dependency on the state and suppressed the need for the assumption of individual responsibility from generations past and present.

  74. A.... L....

    Still got that voice 😿

  75. M.... C....

    Wow, Maxwell, I have listened to this numerous amounts of time and couldn't leave the song because the truth that this song tells holds my heart hostage. To have the understanding of how to give depth and meaning to what we keep silent about, shows how in tuned and how deep of a sonic and natural well of life form that he truly is. It's not only brave to speak the truth, but to bring the listeners into the front row of his soul,paints the greatest masterpiece any artist can show to humanity. Everyone wants the gun, but no one wants the bullet, and since the beginning of his career he has been the body that has absorbed the bullet. What a Force to be reckoned with.

  76. M.... C....

    Just Plain Awesome. What a way to take me on a journey. I am pleased with the entire piece.

  77. M.... L....

    Absolutely beautiful

  78. S.... L....

    This song to me sounds like a generation who didn't take heed to Marvin Gaye when he released Inner City Blues.

  79. J.... B....

    This makes me want to drink a bottle of the finest wine by myself walking down the street. Love it. 😍

  80. N.... L....

    Maxwell releasing music every 2 years instead of every 8?

  81. a.... p....

    WOW! That was heavy, deep, sad and it's a daily feeling of life in this Matrix!! I truly overstand Maxwell...

  82. K.... A....

    OMG!!!! I FELT THAT ONE!!!!

  83. T.... S....

    He made a 4-min song sounded so short. I want more 😯

  84. J.... T....

    decent great song something to think about,

  85. M.... 2....

    Beautiful❤❤

  86. S.... A....

    One of the most captivating voices in the Soul/R&B genre and I'm honored to listen to such a talented man. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

  87. T.... H....

    This is grab ya girl and chill music. Maxwell is still da man.

  88. I.... ....

    Maxwell been the 🐐

  89. M.... ....

    BEAUTIFUL~

  90. a.... w....

    I played your cd and had when I had my son 18 yrs ago June 1 2000 his jealous ass Daddy won't let me name him Maxwell🤣🤣😍😍

  91. C.... A....

    I’m in love!!!

  92. M.... G....

    What a BEAUTIFUL and CHILLING song!!!...#GIVEmeJESUS

  93. J.... S....

    I want so badly to support Max! I listened to this over ten times and tried to feel what you all are writing here but, I just don't. I feel it when Marvin Gaye sings What's Going On, etc. I feel it when Michael Jackson sings Be Not Always, There's More to Life than This, etc. I don't feel it here. I really want to but, maybe he's not that kinda artist? IDK. Guess Max just wants to sing what he thinks/feels & it really don't matter who else feels it. This ain't gonna get radio play so he owes his record company a BBBBIIIIGGGGG hit with Night. That's a lot of pressure & I hope he can deliver the goods.

    Hey, at least he got another video director from whoever did the Gods one! Good move!

    J.... S....

    Do you think you're maybe emotionally stunted? Sounds like it.

    J.... S....

    I know what's real, I know what's fake, & I definitely know when someone's faking the funk ;)

    J.... S....

    Real to me, heard it first early morning after finding out Grandfather died. Wished this and Patti LaBelle song to play at his funeral.

  94. A.... W....

    Put me to sleep 😴 put me to sleep 😴 OMG ! Maxwell you need a full album of dance songs with background singers like Luther vandross use to have. Then maybe you’ll have a chance of getting on the top of billboard 100

  95. R.... D....

    Well I definitely didn’t see this coming. Chills. (Well actually I kinda did because when does maxwell ever disappoint??)

    R.... D....

    Ruhama Din if you haven't you should see the video.

  96. K.... B....

    The lyrics 😭😭😭😭😭❤🙏

  97. a.... h....

    I would love for Maxwell to collab with Khalid

  98. d.... j....

    Nice song. Glad he's back
