[Verse l]
I can feel the pressure building
On the edge of this building
Feet swinging off of the edge I'm holding on by a thread no healing
Can't hold back the feelings I'm feeling
Shit I be been concealing For The longest
Lately haven't felt the strongest
Need a harness just to hold myself up
Stuck in the mud lost I'm in the flood
I done ran out luck
A day and dollar late still owe a couple of bucks
No matter what It always feels like its never enough
Can't get a grip I just
I Keep stalling i Keep falling I stay slipping
Can't get a hold of myself like there's no gripping
Like Sleepwalking most days feel like I'm day tripping
These days I been writing more than living
And Taking more than giving
Cause when I gave they just took advantage
Left stabs in back that shits just too deep to bandage
Trapped in this cage can't get out in stuck
Outta mana just feel like giving up
Wake me up when
[Chorus]
The blood stop spilling
When The block stop dealing
The cops stop killing
The poor start winnin
We raise our children
And love our women
Hope i soon lord willing
[Verse ll]
There's blood in the leaves
Dead bodies out in the streets
Its rare there's A day with peace
Freedom chained on a leash
Need to break need to breach
Before its all outta reach
And there no words left to speak
Before we dead or deceased
No wind in my sails
Can't shake these snakes of my trail
My skin I'm pinned by these nails
Blood pooling up by the trail
In The belly of the best can't escape this whale
This that central booking with no number to make yo bail
What does if take to make the world understand
Will we keep fighting to the death til only on man stands
With all this tension feel like everywhere is no man's land
Can't get a grip feel like its out of our hands
Just wake me up when
[Chorus]
The blood stop spilling
The block stop dealing
The cops stop killing
The poor start winnin
When we save our children
When love our women
Hope soon lord willing
[ Verse ll ]
The deafening silence
The blinding pain
The lack of Guidance
Fell down the drain
Lost in the maze
Just crazed
Confused and dazed
Left me in the cage For days
And they threw away the key
Know there's no hope for me
Thinking hopefully
Only got me hopelessly lost
I Shot for the sky got outshines by the stars
They ain't shocked or in awe
I don't hear no applause
Just stranded with nobody to call
Lost with nobody at all
Hard to make a change when you can't even break change
Work you like a slave for that minimum wage
But the way some niggas ballin you'd think reparations came
But the school ain't taught us shit so honestly who's to blame
Nigga and Who's to say
