Lyrics:
no witness
You always got so much pride but once you look in my eyes
It’s over, you even told me about you when you was younger
How your father abused
to clash
It's made me a demon & turned my heart black
Been 4000 years of repeating the past
Every painstaking task
And yall wonder why I'm consumed by my
we side by side
Drop the ego and let down your pride
Imagine if we modified
The way we think, speak, treat that could change our lives
Imagine if we
As a young black boy give me a reason
When a cop can put a bullet in my head
Leave me dead and the system don’t interfere
Cuz the color of my skin is black
through these rites before it goes wrong
[Verse 2]
Been stuck in my ways and nothing has changed
Feel like I'm stood by the edge of tomorrow
Killing
play the cowboy to rustle in the dough
So the scenery is healthy where her eyes lay
I am an early bird but the feathers are black
So the apples
child
No, I can't slow down, no (no, I can't slow down)
Yeah, we the leader, they just follow
Came in on some pop my collar, talk a lot of shit
I'm
twisted thorns will keep
A crown upon a dead man
Daylights crucified in sleep
And lives that hide in scriptured lies
To the memories of a scream
And we
of progress
Black people dying by the second this is constant
The nonsense to lack com sense in these times is
Bondage we chasing after things that lack promise
agreed
If she wouldn’t live for her, she could live for me
But what part did I play in my own conspiracy?
A life given to her was a life taken by me,
ghetto mentalities
Growin' up without shit, no skrilla
>From crack houses to mansions in the hills
And a big black truck with the bump in my driveway
Back
road
In this world Ice cold people
Live by cream while life implodes
Make the decision while we're close
You gon trust me all the way
Cause im done
of our secret lives, red rose burns under our sky
We're the world in all deep sorrows. Where is my faith?
I’ll find the truth, beside you
I’ve never
as slaves
Toil the soil, shackled bounded by the chains
Whipped and stripped, tossed aside in jagged caves
In my heart, I feel them crying to be saved
Should
resonate
Exposed for who I am
No more hiding in the shadows
I'm praised by the weeds
I'm cursed to the gallows
A hero of the heathens
I'm a pillar
lives
This world is ours to tend
From the throne to the thorns
I've watched you from the sky
As the sun starts to rise
Revealing my disguise
I
taught you how to hate
When you live this way, you become
Dead to everyone
A father's pride, my son walking beside me
I look around and marvel
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride
Forbid it Lord
your hand through the fire
Your lungs black from the fumes
Every day you search for a reason
And yet still scoff at the truth
The only way to live is
the lies of our civil wars
D'you wear a black armband when they shot the man
Who said, "Peace could last forever"?
And in my first memories, they shot
guided by a compass
I saw beauty to the north
I drew the tales of many lives
And wore the faces of my own
I had these memories all around me
So I
Like triple beams
Come up with so many
Ungodly schemes
To make it to the top by any means
Lust of the eyes the flesh
And the pride of life
Leads
Running round through my head
The man in that vet was starring straight ahead
As the homeless man was starting at him
In a moment I felt the pressure rise
I can spend my life inside my mind
Where you are mine
I fantasize
In another life I'll try
To keep you by my side
Let go of pride
Aye
