[00:21.43]We are at war with the universe
[00:29.57]The sky is falling
[00:34.70]And the only thing that can save us now
[00:38.01]Is sensitivity and compassion
[00:47.94][00:42.60]Daa da da, da da da daa da da
[00:52.86]But I know one thing''''s for sure
[00:56.78]I''''m gonna get my kicks before it all burns down
[01:04.44]Some say tragedy''''s hard to get over
[01:06.77]But sometimes that tragedy means it''''s over
[01:09.42]Soldier, from the academy league of rollers
[01:12.03]I deny being down though they seem to hold us
[01:14.62]My, shoulders are strong I prove ''''em wrong
[01:17.45]I ain''''t doing nothing but moving on
[01:18.60]Let the truth be known
[01:20.85]But they talked that freedom at us
[01:23.38]And didn''''t even leave a ladder, damn
[01:25.82]I work at the corner store
[01:28.27]We all got problems, problems
[01:30.98]No one''''s gonna fly down low
[01:33.57]No one''''s gonna save us now
[01:36.24]How you feel you''''re not alone
[01:38.93]We''''re all just jealous, jealous
[01:41.67]We don''''t reach the sky no more
[01:44.27]We just can''''t overcome, no
[04:36.80][04:15.73][03:12.09][01:46.80]You tie my hands what am I gonna be?
[04:52.55][04:42.00][04:31.31][04:20.90][03:27.26][03:16.79][02:02.04][01:51.36]What have I done so bad?
[04:44.72][04:23.57][03:19.35][01:54.04]What is my destiny?
[04:47.34][04:26.14][03:21.96][01:56.74]You tie my hands what I am I suppose to see?
[04:55.32][04:34.05][03:30.05][02:04.75]What am I gonna be?
[02:07.97]I, knock on the door, hope isn''''t home
[02:10.72]Fate''''s not around the lucks all gone
[02:13.39]Don''''t ask me what''''s wrong ask me what''''s right
[02:16.56]And I''''ma tell you what''''s life, and did you know?
[02:19.26]I lost everything, but I ain''''t the only the one
[02:21.78]First came the hurricane, then the morning sun
[02:24.36]Excuse me if I''''m on one
[02:26.68]And don''''t trip if I light one, I walk a tight one
[02:29.26]They try tell me keep my eyes open
[02:32.06]My whole city underwater, some people still floatin''''
[02:34.90]And they wonder why black people still voting
[02:37.73]''''Cause your president still choking
[02:40.22]Take away the football team, the basketball team
[02:42.50]And all we got is me to represent New Orleans, shit
[02:45.39]No governor, no help from the mayor
[02:47.93]Just a steady beating heart and a wish and a prayer
[02:50.61]These friends they come and go
[02:53.65]But I got family, family
[02:56.29]These kids so fast they grow
[02:58.86]They learn so quickly now
[03:01.61]That there''''s nowhere to go
[03:04.33]That there''''s no future, future
[03:06.94]Don''''t make this here so low
[03:09.55]And we can''''t overcome, no
[03:32.63]And if you come from under that water then there''''s fresh air
[03:36.19]Just breathe baby God''''s got a blessing to spare
[03:38.69]Yes I know the process is so much stress
[03:41.26]But it''''s the progress that feels the best
[03:43.70]''''Cause I came from the projects straight to success and you''''re next
[03:46.76]So try they can''''t steal your pride it''''s inside
[03:49.37]Then find it and keep on grinding
[03:52.03]''''Cause in every dark cloud there''''s a silver lining
[03:54.65]I know...
[03:56.95]Yeah, yeah, yeah
[04:01.70]See right now we just riding on love
[04:05.63]A shot in the dark
[04:08.59]We ain''''t tryin to do nothing but hit the heart
[04:12.50]We need love
[04:14.21]That''''s all y''''all, that''''s all
