Blood on My Hands
It's something lurking in the shadows
You can only run and hide
If it catch you
I pray to God that you don't die
Run while you can
Don't stop it don't make you less of a man
Run while you can
Last thing that I want's more blood on my hands
Bloody hands
Bloody shoes
Bloody attitude
I'm busting back
Sick of the circumstances I'm born into
I'm one of one
Couldn't survive if I was one of two
Any challenge placed before me and I'm one-upping you
Came up off the backroad
Life was fine
But the bottom wanna trap me like a black hole
Black man, clothes riddled with some black holes
They need help all they gonna get is dial tones
I'm sick of all the so-called friends
Who love ends when they hear about the message I send
Keep the same energy
Cause when I speak
It's gone hit you cross the chin when I pick up the pen
I-C-E
Bunch of chumps wanna front and try to detain me
Country in a bind But they don't mind me
I'm cold-blooded and that's the only ice I see
It's something lurking in the shadows
You can only run and hide
If it catch you
I pray to God that you don't die
Run while you can
Don't stop it don't make you less of a man
Run while you can
Last thing that I want's more blood on my hands
It's a smell in the air
A smell of failure
A smell of planting paraphernalia
A smell of the crooked cops constantly jailing us
A smell of the bigots getting praised when they killing us
It's heavy in the air I breath
On my knees to praise God not beg and plead
I seen visions of the world not plagued with greed
I'm no king but I always try to share my dreams
It's two steps forwards no steps back
What they say
Pick it up by bootstraps
I changed lives you take em
Build homes you break em
I'm never too close cause I wouldn't mistake em
For somebody that care about me over another
What happened to love thy neighbor as thy brother
That's only when your brothers the same
We built walls over things that a vote won't change
It's something lurking in the shadows
You can only run and hide
If it catch you
I pray to God that you don't die
Run while you can
Don't stop it don't make you less of a man
Run while you can
Last thing that I want's more blood on my hands
You can only run and hide
If it catch you
I pray to God that you don't die
Run while you can
Don't stop it don't make you less of a man
Run while you can
Last thing that I want's more blood on my hands
Bloody hands
Bloody shoes
Bloody attitude
I'm busting back
Sick of the circumstances I'm born into
I'm one of one
Couldn't survive if I was one of two
Any challenge placed before me and I'm one-upping you
Came up off the backroad
