Tie My Hands (Feat. Lil Wayne) - Robin Thicke
We are at war
With the universe
The sky is falling
and the only thing that
can save us now
is sensitivity and compassion

But I know one thing's for sure
I'm gonna get my kicks before
it all burns down
yeah Some say tragedy is
hard to get over
But some time that tragedy means
its over soulja
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 problems
Who was gon fight alone
No one's gon 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
You tie my hands
What am I supposed to see
What have I done so bad
What am I gonna be
I knock on the door hope isn't home
fates not around the lucks all gone
don't ask me whats wrong
ask me whats 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 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 floatin
and they wonder
why black people still voting
cause your presidents 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 future future
Don't make this seem so low
And we can't overcome
You tie my hands
What am I gonna be
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
and if you come from under
that water then theres fresh air
just breathe baby
gods got a blessing to spare
yes i know the process has
so much stress
but its 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 its inside
then find it and keep on grinding
cause in every dark cloud
theres a silver lining I know

Right now we just riding on love
And shine in the dark
we ain't tryna do nothing be
at the heart
We need love that's all now
Born right here in the USA
But due to tragedy
looked on by the whole
world as a refugee
So accept my emotion
do not take it
as an offensive gesture
It's just the epitome of my soul
And I must be me
We got spirit y'all
We go spirit
We got soul y'all
We got soul
They don't want us to see
But we already know
