I can't see em coming down my eyes
So I gotta let my soul cry
Bleed it out on these lines
I bleed it out on these lines
Yea
I can't see em coming down my eyes
So I gotta let my soul cry
Bleed it out on these lines
I bleed it out on these lines
Sittin' in a cold room looking at these bills pile
I'm never wishing that you know what this feels like
Numb to it now the water from my tears dry
Looking to the sky like this can't be real life
Isolated, this world won't even throw me a bone
Cuz even if you let him roam every dog need a home
I keep tryna fly, my wings keep getting clipped
God if you really in control, then why you doing me so sick
Why you let me slide up in that b*tch without a rubber
Knowing them child support muf*ckas gon' wanna smother
Man, I'm talking lather me in debt
The more I make, the more they take, can't get ahead
I'm not the one to complain, but this really ain't fair
Like for a misdemeanor hit me with a ninety-thousand dollar bail?
I still ain't played the race card yet, they follow me all around town got my plates getting checked
F*ck the police, I say that in a general sense
Cuz all of em ain't bad, but the system is
They wanna wash ya like some dishes n leave ya rinsed
'Least thats if you Black's what the condition is
Oops, there go the race card lemme hear y'all trip
I know y'all hate to hear the story of the Black man's struggle like we made this shit up
One day we had a huddle said, ooh, lets make a play
We can say the system hate, wanna lock us in a cage
Make sure we under paid, we could say they judge us strictly really only off our race
Call us crooks call us thieves, treat us like we a disgrace
'Specially if we leave our hair natural or in braids
N if we dark n got a hoodie on thats reason to get sprayed
You know what else we could say, we could say that as a youngin' as a teen I was framed
We could say they saw me walking down the street to them was strange
We could say they followed me for blocks, stalked they prey
We could say they ambushed a kid I was just afraid
We could say they pinned drugs on me, put me in a cage
We could say they saw my innocence n took that away
We could say that they was cold towards them tears on my face
We could say they changed my life, I'll never be the same
Still locked in the system, just turned 28
We could say the goal really ain't to rehabilitate
We could tell racism still lives on today
We could tell em we ain't gave up yet we still bringin' change
Yea, Yea, said we could tell em we ain't gave up yet we still bringing change
But they'll never hear the testimony, God gimme one tear I could cry
Like Denzel in Glory
Swear before y'all 'fore I die, I'mma change the story
Swear before I go if I lied, don't wake me in the morning
Swear before y'all 'fore I die, I'mma change the story
Swear before I go if I lied, don't wake me in the morning
Yea yea
I said I swear before y'all if I lied, don't wake me in the morning
I can't see em coming down my eyes
So I gotta let my soul cry
Bleed it out on these lines
I bleed it out on these lines
Yea
I can't see em coming down my eyes
So I gotta let my soul cry
Bleed it out on these lines
I bleed it out on these lines
