We are at war
|
With the universe
|
The sky is falling
|
and the only thing that can save us now
|
is sensitivity and compassion
|
|
But I know one thing”Ēs for sure
|
I”Ēm gonna get my kicks before it all burns down
|
|
Some say tragedy is hard to get over
|
But some time that tragedy means its over, soulja
|
from the academy, league of rollers
|
I deny being down though they seem to hold us
|
my shoulders are strong, i prove them wrong
|
I ain”Ēt doing nothin but movin on, let the truth be known
|
But they talk that freedom matters,
|
and didn”Ēt even leave a ladder, damn
|
|
I work at the corner store
|
We all got problems problems
|
Who was gon fight alone
|
No one”Ēs gon save us now
|
How you feel, you”Ēre not alone
|
We”Ēre all just jealous jealous
|
We don”Ēt reach the sky no more
|
We just can”Ēt overcome no
|
|
You tie my hands
|
What am I gonna be
|
What have I done so bad
|
What is my destiny
|
You tie my hands
|
What am I supposed to see
|
What have I done so bad
|
What am I gonna be
|
|
I, knock on the door, hope isn”Ēt home,
|
fates not around, the lucks all gone
|
don”Ēt ask me whats wrong, ask me whats right
|
and ima tell you whats life and did you know?
|
I lost everything, but I ain”Ēt the only one
|
first came the hurricane, then the morning sun
|
Excuse me if I”Ēm on one, and
|
don”Ēt trip if i light one, i walk a tight one
|
They try to tell me keep my eyes open
|
my whole city under water, some people still floatin
|
then they wonder why black people still voting,
|
cause your presidents still chokin
|
Take away the football team, the basketball team
|
now all we got is me to represent New Orleans
|
no governor, no help from the mayor
|
just a steady beatin heart, and a wish and a prayer
|
|
These friends they come and go
|
but I got family family
|
These kids so fast they grow
|
They learn so quickly now
|
But there”Ēs no way to go,
|
but there”Ēs future future
|
Don”Ēt make this seem so low
|
That we can”Ēt overcome
|
|
You tie my hands
|
What am I gonna be
|
What have I done so bad
|
What is my destiny
|
You tie my hands
|
What am I supposed to see
|
What have I done so bad
|
What am I gonna be
|
|
and if you come from under the water then theres fresh air
|
just breathe baby, gods got a blessing to spare
|
yes, i know the process has so much stress
|
but its the progress that fills the best
|
cause i came from the projects straight to success
|
and your next, so try they cant steal your pride its inside
|
|
then find it and keep on grinding
|
cause in every dark cloud theres a silver lining
|
I know...
|
Right now we just riding on love
|
And shining dark, we aint tryna do nothing be at the heart
|
We need love, that”Ēs all now
|
|
You tie my hands, what am i gonna be
|
What have i done so bad, what is my destiny
|
You tie my hands, what am I going to see
|
What have I done so bad, what am I gonna be
|
|
It”Ēs just the epitome of my soul
|
|
And I must be me
|
We got spirit y”Ēall
|
We go spirit
|
We got soul y”Ēall
|
We got soul
|
They don”Ēt want us to see,
|
But we already know
|
