Tongue

[Verse 1]

Black masked people all around me
They ain’t knew I’m from Hollywood
I was born under the dark sea
They forced me to believe their truth

I always felt like a black sheep
My life was seen through broken lense
Now I’m swimming up from the deep
It's time to jump over the fence

[Pre-Chorus]

I don’t think that you understand
I saw the start, I saw the end
I’m living close and living far
I’m doing what is in my heart

[Chorus]

I didn't know where I belonged
Cause they kept cutting out my tongue
Had a hold on mе, a puppet
I wanted to speak, you cut it

I didn't know whеre I belonged
Cause they kept cutting out my tongue
I forgive but I don’t forget
And you can take that as a threat

[Verse 2]

After years of hard suffering
I moved on and moved to LA
There’s no chance for recovering
Starting a new life from a plane

Well I’m always prepared to go
Sometimes felt like a refugee
Now I turn the table, say no
Cause they never believed in me

[Pre-Chorus]

I’m not what all these people thought
And I never needed guard
A single voice in the big mess
I know silence was just God’s test

[Chorus]

I didn't know where I belonged
Cause they kept cutting out my tongue
Had a hold on me, a puppet
I wanted to speak, you cut it

I didn't know where I belonged
Cause they kept cutting out my tongue
I forgive but I don’t forget
And you can take that as a threat

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]

But I will keep spitting words
Coming from blood, know it hurts
Even if I’m not on earth
Not belonging to center

My tongue, it is for the truth
I know it bothering you
But I’ll keep running ahead
You run in circles, too bad

[Chorus]

I didn't know where I belonged
Cause they kept cutting out my tongue
Had a hold on me, a puppet
If I had a line, you cut it

I didn't know where I belonged
Cause they kept cutting out my tongue
I forgive but I don’t forget
And you can take that as a threat

Now I'm aware where I belong (nowhere)
I found my voice to sing my song
And I'm loving the light of moon
They can’t stand that now I can bloom
