Give, always give what you can Even if your allies draw lines in the sand And give, always dig a little deeper Sometimes it's hard to be my brother's keeper Love, so you let love in Baby I am home in the wave of your skin And it's crazy how we wear our ceremony Always be open to your path and your journey
Yes, she cradles my loneliness A home in a forest nest Universal test Feel the weight of my love Put your hand to my chest and rest In the cradle of my arms The battle that we face is the place where our scars come from And to pick up the gun My love, we are destined to teach these ones to be brave And never run away Courage is birthed from the womb On the first light of day Yeah the day you were born You came out perfect never meant to be torn
And silence, never been so loud And the violence, never been so proud of a people We're all fightin' for a change Not afraid to lose it all despite all the rage We are animals and we cannot be caged Provoked us to fight So we burn a little sage and write poetry Wiser than the enemy will ever be The minority, an authority Are you here to protect or arrest me? Can't tolerate the hate and we're losing sleep Can't breathe cause they're choking out a war in me Immorality
Oh, letters to God I wonder if she reads them or if they get lost In the stars, stars In the stars
So many parts to a heavy heart If there's no beginning Then where would you start? Start, start, where would you start?
Human souls, so we carve 'em in the story totem poles 'Cause we always searching for a certain goal A pattern of physics, a role Don't believe all you're told, and open Open up your fist A misconception, you can fight like this And praise with the power of prayer If God's on our side we can take the stairs To the heavens Flippin' through my chapter seven I live with the snakes and the great deception No court, in this country for men Who steal from the mother on paper with pen And we're trippin, down a red dirt road And we're asking, is this the way we should go? Kissin, soft top feet of my goddess We'll walk the earth Baby yeah, we got this Focus, and it's redirected Grateful, and I'm resurrected Stubborn, but I know the way You're the skin on my drums To your rhythms I will sway
Take my hand, I won't lead you astray We will not go gently into the darkest of days Grandma's here, and she says persevere Take a walk in her mocs, taste the trail of tears And our fears are the same as they ever were Beers, numb the pain of the holocaust years Always mobbing in motion Maybe, baby be an island or an ocean Your arches, how they bend and contract in my conscience Never slip through the grip of my thesis And my theory is I shine in your presence Of deliverance
Oh, letters to God I wonder if she reads them or if they get lost In the stars, stars In the stars
So many parts to a heavy heart If there's no beginning Then where would you start? Start, start, where would you start?
