Tie My Hands
Dwayne Carter, Robin Thicke, James Gass
We are at war with the universe, the sky is falling
And the only thing that can save us now
Is sensitivity and compassion
But I know one thing's for sure
I'm gonna get my kicks before it all burns down
Yeah, some say tragedy's hard to get over
But sometimes that tragedy means it's over
Soldier, from the academy league of rollers
I deny being down though they seem to hold us
My shoulders are strong, I prove 'em wrong
I ain't doing nothing but moving on, let the truth be known
But they talked that freedom at us
And didn't even leave a ladder, damn
I work at the corner store
We all got problems, problems
No one's gonna fly down low
No one's gonna save us now
How you feel, you're not alone
We're all just jealous, jealous
We don't reach the sky no more
We just can't overcome, no
You tie my hands, what am I gonna be?
What have I done so bad?
What is my destiny?
You tie my hands, what am I supposed to see?
What have I done so bad? (What have I done?)
What am I gonna be?
I knock on the door, hope isn't home
Fate's not around, the luck's so gone
Don't ask me what's wrong, ask me what's right
And I'ma tell you what's life, and did you know
I lost everything? But I ain't the only one
First came the hurricane, then the morning sun
Excuse me if I'm on one
And don't trip if I light one, I walk a tight one
They try tell me keep my eyes open
My whole city underwater, some people still floating
And they wonder why Black people still voting
'Cause your president still choking
Take away the football team, the basketball team
And all we got is me to represent New Orleans, shit
No governor, no help from the mayor
Just a steady beating heart and a wish and a prayer
Let's pray
These friends, they come and go
But I got family, family
These kids, so fast they grow
They learn so quickly now
That there's nowhere to go
That there's no future, future
Don't make this here so low
And we can't overcome, no
You tie my hands, what am I gonna be? (What am I gonna be?)
What have I done so bad?
What is my destiny? (What have I done?)
You tie my hands, what am I supposed to see? (What have I done? What have I done?)
What have I done so bad?
What am I gonna be? (Yeah)
And if you come from under that water then there's fresh air
Just breathe, baby, God's got a blessing to spare
Yes, I know the process is so much stress
But it's the progress that feels the best
'Cause I came from the projects straight to success and you're next
So try, they can't steal your pride, it's inside
Then find it and keep on grinding
'Cause in every dark cloud, there's a silver lining
I know
Yeah, yeah, yeah
See, right now, we're just riding on love (take that money, make that money)
A shot in the dark (take that money)
We ain't trying to do nothing but hit the heart
We need love
That's all y'all, that's all
You tie my hands, what am I gonna be? (Yeah, born right here in the USA)
What have I done so bad? (But, due to tragedy)
What is my destiny? (Looked on by the whole world)
You tie my hands (as a refugee)
What am I suppose to see? (So accept my emotion)
What have I done so bad? (Do not take it as an offensive gesture)
What am I gonna be?
You tie my hands (it's just the epitome of my soul)
What am I gonna be? (And I must be me)
What have I done so bad? (We got spirit y'all)
What is my destiny? (We got spirit)
You tie my hands (we got soul, y'all)
What am I suppose to see? (We got soul)
What have I done so bad? (They don't want us to see)
What am I gonna be? (But we already know)
We are at war with the universe, the sky is falling

Is sensitivity and compassion
É sensibilidade e compaixão
But I know one thing's for sure
Mas eu sei uma coisa com certeza
I'm gonna get my kicks before it all burns down
Vou me divertir antes que tudo se acabe

Não estou fazendo nada além de seguir em frente, que a verdade seja conhecida
But they talked that freedom at us

Não me pergunte o que está errado, pergunte o que está certo
And I'ma tell you what's life, and did you know

First came the hurricane, then the morning sun
