JusThoughtZ - Willows (Don't Tread On Me) lyrics

"Dont blink" That's what I told myself while driving down this north atlanta road Pondering about the globe How poverty molds the soul Of latin, asian, blacks and whites For jobs, do we have to fight Complain, do we have the right Our stories, youth will have to write Desires boosting appetites Growing debt for luxury Whats good for you may s** for me Perspire for dope attire Pockets on fire to be cool I got to get a little higher.. Higher...higher... Hire me to blow smoke up the next man So i can put some diamonds in the noose around my neck man While future weeps like willows in those carolina wetlands I hear the cries of west african captives, and the redman The holy spirit, revives me, I rise cause I was dead man My ancestors speak to me in dream form Why is the black man burdened with trying to make peace norm My existence is needed, gets depleted, undefeated, can't retreat it So they michael jackson beat it Through legislation, sell me on education Perscribe a bottle of self hate, and await detonation I scrape the bottom of barrels, stare down the bottom of the barrels Get followed by armies in blue I'm blue and get jealous of sparrows Who never say hello, or feels lows of hell Never get scrutinized if their morals are not upheld Never get hunted for sport, dont have to pack a gun Free as the wind... they got wings So the dont have to run Compete for jobs, compete for food, or compete for health Compete for land, compete for love, compete for wealth Compete for instinct, they complete in self But me where I do I run to No place to duck to, ducktape my face to make a smile When all I am is screaming "______" But whose to blame for my place in the food chain I guess I have to evolve Be more than I am If I am to reign But how can I, distribute alkaline If minds are too plain How can i flow, and bring life If I am too...slain Willows
