Well you see
In the stars it was written
The sea would come to be
My only way to Heaven
Would you seize all possessions see if all of them've been forgotten
Lessons pilin' up until you couldn't even see the final weapon
Hold on listen yeah you're fightin'
Hold this message
You never wondered how we made it across all in one piece son
Now we're stopping freeze this body's not falling from Rotting
Beats that follow what we've dared not speak on
And from the dance of all those we've been long gone from
So listen close I don't know if I can tell this more than once
Head down low on the road to home songs sung not so vocal
Pitter patter keep it close this tune of mine that's yours to hold
Drippin' down her coat you walk the rhythm of the O Gs
She hopes in threes and does her best to believe that there might be a way
To eat sleep and breathe
So she reads and eat books til she's the only one less to feed
Studied til her face fell on the desk moldy but she's asleep
Wake up it's morning
And then we repeat
And the world takes one look and gives one big heave
So this is how a kid can live and die in her own dreams
She sees them come and take him
The underdog they stuck him
And under God she saw them
String him up on a tree
He said 不用担心孩子, 爸爸不会离开你
But you're but you're tryna hide it 爸爸
He's gotta leave
Would you come back to a home that's in need
I can't girl come let me hold you please
So they stood there together holding closely in peace
Knowing only minutes separate the holy from the meek
The story of the beast
Still lyin' in deep in
The mind of a people tryin' to turn a new leaf
So when Dad came home
She felt so fearful
Of the cargo shorts looking so narrow
Long ago they were so loose almost fell through, Dad
She stops, his legs are swollen like balloons
Sparrows and figure eights
Gray streets of dirty stone
Windows sticky with oil
Flicking from the kitchen stove
Four kids tussle Mom yells finish your food
While Dad sits alone in nightmares still can't look at the moon
He's still looking back
Limping broken back
Feeling when he was beaten till he saw black
But was it really that
Or was the fact that broke him that
People could see people
Breaking people then get used to that (damn)
Oh but let's tuck it away let's not deal with this today
I'm in a mood not gonna go a cray
That's what we say anyways
And then our ends start to fray
Feeling fine afraid to fade
Failing find a fate to feign
Face defined is phase away
Careful Mom would say when you build a land of dreams
Your hopes will give you stitches and screams
Go my little girl to the lands of the free
Even if it's not all what they make it all seam
She goes and manifests destiny
Full rides empty pockets and a soul that still bleeds she
Leads in every class with her books and a dictionary
Funny they think that's all she really carries
It's all good look at how she stood
Standing in the rain head up no hood
Wondering what would come of the faint kick uh
Gives birth to the pain of the pain undone
Now standing on the stage your voice your son
Every single word is a song unsung
Am I still what you feared I'd become
Cause 妈妈 tell me how else will our kingdom come
Wait son leave them alone and run
Don't believe them you
Give them none about
The things in us cause
We touch dust and
Readjust we might just be
Midas thats a breach of trust
Your highness we said
Dont
Let them
Find us
When we split the sea wide defined by the pain we hide
Survive actualize while staying awake all night
A daydream's the only kind
Of a fire that burns the sky it lights up what I can't see so my child can see alright
Shed thine grace God keep us alive we built these tracks kids don't need more sacrifice
We don't weep or will I
I see the inside
Grandpa screaming when I look at mom's eyes
The lives the letters the stories the rhymes
Tossed from railroads, internment, bubonic times
Why do generations feel the same shit again
When reasons are needed or when people get sick again
Conditional
American
Purple smoke
Ash and gold rainin'
Mountains are built from divine eruptions a natural
Disaster for the nature of the system
