I was on the roof and
Contemplatin' truth and
Saw myself runnin'
But now I ain't runnin'
Came a long way (way, away)
Remember them days, you could still see it in we face
Blues blood, the way
Come out to show them
Looking for an old place, new space
Behind the moon and the stars
But not another planet, just balance
But we stuck, you love my pain (****)
Whole life bad luck 'cause (God-)
They ain't trust us
Ain't the type to know real, just us, without us
Make a new dance about us, then drown us
Make the rain go away, brain go away
Celebrate sorrow, till I can't tomorrow
It's just time borrowed
Just time borrowed
Imagine light without darkness
Or a mind without solace
This what mama promised
This what mama promised?
This ain't what they taught us
