Gravel

[Chorus 4x]
WE'VE BEEN WALKING FOR A LONG TIME

[Verse]
GRAVEL BE FUCKING UP MY PATH
RIPPING UP ALL MY RUBBER SLASHED
TRAVEL BE OH SO TOUGH TO LAST
WHEN THESE PEBBLES CRACK YOUR SHIELD
AND WONDER IF THE WIND WILL BRING CHANGE
OR SING ANOTHER SEASON
IN THE SAME KEY
BREATH WILL BE CEASED BY THE MELODY
MELANIN HALF N' HALF LIKE SOME CREAM
(YES)
HONESTY BE THE POLICY THAT’S FACTS
NEVER DREAM OF FIBBING MATTER FACT
CAN’T LET THE GRAVEL GET ME OFF THE MAP
POCAHONTAS WITH THE LOOKS AND APPEAL
MAKING BEAUCOUP OFF THE PUPILS OF THOSE
WHO ARE PAYING TO SEE MY RACE SEWED ON A JERSEY AND SOLD
BUT CAN’T FUND MY GOALS
I’M STILL NOT A HUMAN BEING
STILL SHIT THAT YOU’RE NOT SEEING
WOMEN ARE MISSING AND DONE AWAY WITH
CHEST IS SO HEAVY LIKE THAT OF MY GRAMPS
HE RODE ON THE GRAVEL BACK FROM FOREIGN LANDS
PURPLE HEART PINNED ON HIS THREADS GOT HIM FEELING
SO PROUD
THEN THE BAR DOOR READ, “NO DOGS. NO INDIANS ALLOWED”
(AYY AYY)
TOOK OFF HIS MEDAL AND THREW IT
THEN DROWNED IN THE LIQUOR FOR DECADES
HE KNEW HE WAS RUINED
THE GRAVEL DONE GOT HIM
AND RIPPED UP HIS SPIRIT
BUT THAT’S HOW THEY WANT HIM
ALL DUSTY AND GLOOMY
THEY ASK WHY I’M DRIVEN, AND BRASH, AND DEFENSIVE
IT'S CAUSE WE GOT SCARS
YOU TRY TO KEEP HIDDEN IN HISTORY
VIVIDLY WRITTEN TO RID OFF THE ENEMIES
THE GRAVEL I'VE RIDDEN FOR CENTURIES

[Bridge]

[Chorus 8x]
WE'VE BEEN WALKING FOR A LONG TIME
