Tie My Hands

We are at war

With the universe

The sky is falling

And the only thing that can save us now

Is sensitivity and compassion

（Da da da dadada da da da x2）

But i know one thing is for sure

I'm gonna get my kicks before it all burns down

Yeah some say tragedies is hard to get over

But sometime that tragedy means its over

Soldier from the academy legal frolers

I deny being down though they seen the holers

My shoulders is strong i prove them wrong

I aint doing nothing but moving on

Let the truth be known

But they talk that freedom matters and didn't even leave a latter

Damn

I work at the corner store we all got problems problems

Who was gon' fight alone

No one's gonna save us now

How you feel you're not alone

We're all just jealous jealous

We don't reach the sky no more

We jus can't 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't home

Faith's not around the luck's all gone

Dont ask me whats wrong

Ask me whats right

And i'ma tell you whats life

And did you know

I lost everything but i ain't the only one

First came the hurricane then the morning sun

Excuse me if i'm on one and dont trip if i light one

I walk a tight one

They try tell me keep my eyes open

My whole city under water some people still floatin'

And they wonder why black people still voting

Cuz your president 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

Jus a steady beatin heart and a wish and a prayer

Let's pray

These friends they come and go

But i got family family

These kids so fast they grow they learn so quickly now

That there's no where to go that there's no future future

Dont make this seem so low

That we can't overcome

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 that water then that's fresh air

Just breathe baby God's got a blessing to spare

Yes i know the presses is so much stress

But its the progress that feels the best

Cuz i came from the projects straight to success

And you're next so try

They can't steal your pride its inside

Then find it and keep on grinding

Cuz in every dark cloud theres a silver lining i know

Yeah yeah yeah

See right now we just ridin' on love

A shinin dark

We aint tryin'a do nothing but be at the heart

We need love

That's all now

Born right here in the usa but due to tragdey

Looked on by the whole world as a refugee

So accept my emotion don't take it as an offensive gesture

Its just the epitomy of my soul

And i must b me

We got spirt y'all

We got spirit

We got soul y'all

We got soul

They don't want us to see

But we already know
