Locked Behind a Sickle Cell

I couldn't help but notice your pain
(My pain)
It runs deep
Share it with me

It's Fa'shotime

Feeling pain from the sickle cell
Doing time behind the sickle cell

You can escape from it
Can't get away from it
Some don't even understand it
When you're in pain from it
Every single day you show that you're fighting and trying
But when you get alone, can't help when you're silent and crying
Feeling weak and low
Blood cells are all sickle
Every week and so end up in a hospital
Is this a normal life
Thinking you're gonna die
Trying to be strong and a warrior, but You wanna cry
It's like a curse
The pain is so crucial, you feel it
And even worse, it's affecting our beautiful children
And all the young lives that haven't begun yet
Here at the sunrise, but gone at the sunset
Try to get rid of the pain, but it keeps coming
A lot are screaming out
God, do you even love me
Wondering why you got sentenced to life
Without committing a crime
You're living the life
Locked behind the sickle cell

Feeling pain from the sickle cell
(Tired and strained of the pain)
Doing time behind the sickle cell

You're sick and tired
Being sick and tired
Sick and tired
Of the pain you're facing
Yeah, you're sick and tired

You're sick and tired
Being sick and tired
Sick and tired
Of the pain you're facing
Yeah, you're sick and tired

You're sick and tired
Being sick and tired
Sick and tired
Of the pain you're facing
Yeah, you're sick and tired

You hate this living hell hoping it will pass soon
You may have sickle cell but don't let it have you
Staying strong through the pain but It's tough to fight it
And especially if you suffer through Another crisis
So technically
the pain's threatening
Even if you're good it still comes Unexpectedly
A lot of people always assume you're Hallucinating
Not realizing the pain is really Excruciating
Living daily with it you feel it's getting Crazy
Sick of waiting to be out of this Situation
Don't let it torture you,
Cause you're a warrior
Overcoming everything even when the war is tough
Will not be in a situation you cannot Handle
At the end of the day you're winning Every single battle
I know it's crazy lately on the daily
Locked behind a single cell but soon You're gonna break free
It's time to celebrate the victory
And not elevate the misery
Wondering why you got sentenced to life
Without committing a crime you're Living a life
Locked behind a single cell
Feeling pain from the single cell
Sick of waiting to be out of this Situation
Don't let it torture you, cause you're a Warrior
Overcoming everything even when the War is tough
When I be in a situation you cannot Handle
At the end of the day you're winning every single battle
I know it's crazy lately on the daily
Locked behind a single cell but soon You're gonna break free
It's time to celebrate the victory
And not elevate the misery
Wondering why you got
sentenced to life
Without committing a crime
You're living a life
Locked behind a sickle cell

Feeling pain from the sickle cell
(Tired and strained of the pain)
Doing time behind the sickle cell

You're sick and tired
