Sometimes

Sometimes I
Like to live for my mission
Sometimes I
Have to live with myself
And after all
I've got to make a decision
To fend for myself or for everyone else
Or be living my life in a prison

I hate to think this way but sometimes I can't help myself
Sometimes, I get caught up in my own devices in spite of everybody else, I
Know the way, but different page, I'm
Turning, meanwhile the world is burning

Sometimes I
Like to live for my mission
Sometimes I
Have to live with myself
And after all
I've got to make a decision
To fend for myself or for everyone else
Or be living my life in a prison

Blackbird when it can't sing, a black man when he can't breathe
Unmasking COVID-19, so what say you?
Love lost when the line's drawn, till my mind's gone, righting our wrongs
Writing this song, so what's the move?
(Alright, alright)

I'm drowning in my thoughts, I see the world through a periscope
Raise a brow at how some people raised. How do they parents cope?
Open up my mind and find they careless in all fairness though, well
Either that or they be trapped in time so their awareness slow
Everybody loves an underdog story when fiction
When it's real, we feel it's another world that they living
Sometimes, I feel like I need a minute for some relief
But then the past repeats itself, people who couldn't breathe sometimes

Sometimes I
Like to live for my mission
Sometimes I
Have to live with myself
And after all
I've got to make a decision
To fend for myself or for everyone else
Or be living my life in a prison

(Sometimes I
Sometimes I)
