Injustice

[Verse 1: Eli Arbor]
What's a scar but evidence that you've lived in a world that doesn't have much else to give?
How do you move in the way the weight of worlds on your shoulders?
Eyes closed and the world is getting colder?
I'm starin' and checkin' my wrist
Been over a year since, and I still feel exactly where the cuts were
I'm thinkin' that I should get a couple of black X's tattooed so you see where the cuffs were
They usin' my agony for ecstasy
All of my niggas next to me, I still feel alone
I click my heels a million times and I still haven't made it home
If home is where the heart is, is it still home if ya heartless?
How can you build a home if they take everything that you love?
Take everything that you love?

[Verse 2: Eli Arbor]
'cause we came from ashes
Tired, huddled masses
After masters abandoned us then we tried to recapture the aftermath of enslavement
We've been plagued by the bastards
Our mistakes are our sins
Your mistakes are our sins, too
Why do kids die? Why I gotta apologize?
Why I gotta see the fear reflected in my father's eyes, why mama don't want me to go outside
Nighttime on my own block
Afraid I might get shot in a war over dirt that nobody wants (in a war over dirt that nobody wants)
So we flirt with death, call it "black love"
But a bad bitch is the same shit
'cause either way if she puttin' out we feel regret if we came in
Gettin' back at the universe
Fuck a lung, nigga fuck a liver
Fuck a life, I was born a sinner
Fuck a silver platter, I ain't get a dinner
How you hungry, carryin' weight of the world?
What's a scar but evidence you've survived in a world where you can't make it out alive?
