Tie My Hands

[Spoken:]

We are one with the universe

The sky is falling and the only thing that can save us now

Is sensitivity and compassion

Da Da Da, Da Da Da Da Da Da [x2]

oooo

[Spoken:]

And I know one thing's for sure (ooooo)

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

[Lil Wayne:]

Yea, Some say tragedy's hard to get over,

But sometimes that tragedy means its over

soldier from the academy leauge of folers I deny being down

Tho they seem to hold us

My shoulders are strong I prove em wrong

I ain't doin' nothing but movin' on

Let the truth be known

But they talk that freedom at us

And didn't even leave a ladder

Damn

?

We all got problems, problems

?

No one's going to 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 cant overcome, noo

[Chorus:]

Tie my hands, what am i gonna be

What have I done so bad

What is my destiny, ooh

You tied my hands,

What have I done so bad

[Lil Wayne:]

I knock on the door

hope isn't home

Fate's not around the luck's so gone

Don't ask me what's wrong

ask me what's right and I'ma 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 morning 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 floating

And they wonder why black people still voting

Cause yo president still choking

Take away the football team

and the basketball team

and all we got is me to represent New Orleans

No governor, no help from the mayor

just a steady beating heart and a wish and 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

Don't make this seem so vogue

And we cant overcome

[Chorus:]

You tie my hands

what am I gonna do

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

[Lil Wayne:]

Yea, And if ya come from under that water

Then there's fresh air, just breathe baby

God's gotta blessing to spare

Yes, i know the process is so much stress

But its the progress that feels the best

Cause i came from the projects Straight to success

And you're next so try, they cant steal your pride that's inside

Then find it and keep on grinding

Cause in every dark cloud there's a silver lining

I know, Yea, Yea, Yea

[Spoken:]

See, Right now we just riding on love

A shine in the dark, we ain't trying to do nothing but hit the heart

We need love. That's all.

Yea, Born right here in the USA.

but due to tragedy, looked on by the whole world as a refugee

so except my emotion, do not take it as an offensive gesture

its just the epitamy of my soul

and I must be me, we got spirit yall

we got spirit

we got soul yall

we got soul

they don't want us to see

But we already know
