We are at war with the universe The sky is falling And the only thing that can save us now Is sensitivity and compassion Dah, de dah, dah dah dah Dah, de dah Dah, de dah, dah dah dah Dah, de dah Ooooh And I know one thing is for sure I'm going to get my kicks before it all burns down (Yeah!) Some say tragedy's hard to get over But sometime that tragedy means it's over, soldier 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't doing nothin' but movin' on, let the truth be known But they talk that freedom matters And didn't even leave a ladder, damn I work at the corner store We all got problems, problem Who was goin' fight alone No one's goin' 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 just can't overcome no You tie my hands, what am I gonna be What have I done so bad, what is my destiny (oh oh) You tie my hands, what am I supposed to see What have I done so bad, what am I gonna be (oh) I, knock on the door, hope isn't home Fate's not around, the luck's all gone (that's right) Don't ask me what's wrong, ask me what's right And I'm a tell you what's life, and did you know? I lost everything, but I ain't the only one First came the hurricane, then the mornin' sun Excuse me if I'm on one And don't 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' And they wonder why black people still votin' 'Cause your president's still chokin' Take away the football team, the basketball team Now all we got is me to represent New Orleans, shit No governor, no help from the mayor Just 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 But there's no where to go, but there's a future, future Don't make this seem so low, and we can't overcome (no) You tie my hands, what am I gonna be (what am I goin' to be?) What have I done so bad, what is my destiny (what have I done) You tie my hands, what am I supposed to see (what have I done) What have I done so bad, what am I gonna be (oooh) And if you come from under that water then there's fresh air Just breathe baby, god's got a blessin' to spare Yes, I know the process has so much stress (oh) But it's the progress that feels the best 'Cause I came from the projects straight to success And your next, so try, they can't steal your pride that's inside Then find it and keep on grindin' 'Cause in every dark cloud there's a silver lining, I know Yeah, yeah, yeah (oooh) See, right now we just ridin' on love And shine in the dark (take that money, make that money) We ain't tryin' to do nothing be at the heart (take that money, love someone) We need love, that's all now (I can't wait to stop the way..) You tie my hands, what am I gonna be (Yeah, bar right here in the USA, but) What have I done so bad, what is my destiny (what have I done) (Due to tragedy, looked on, by the whole world as a refugee) You tie my hands, what am I supposed to see (what have I done) (So, accept my emotion, do not take it as an offensive gesture) What have I done so bad, what am I gonna be (oooh) (It's just the epitome of my soul, and I must be me) We got spirit y'all We got spirit We got soul y'all We got soul They don't want us to see But we already know |
