Thi'sl - We Blind lyrics

[Verse 1 – Thi'sl] Them boys rolled up on him with that sawed off They hit him, now his body gettin' hauled off Now the whole hood cryin', we all lost Tryna prove that we G's, but this is what it cost? A trail of mommas left with tears in they eyes Another bloody body from a homicide Have you ever seen a baby, the look in her eyes When you tell her that her daddy dead and gone, he died? And to the newspapers he's another number He's number 79 of a bloody summer The way it's all designed, it's meant to take us under But we can't see it though because we Stevie Wonder, we blind [Chorus – Brian Owens] Help us to see We're so blind (we are we are we're so blind) Help us be free From our old ways (we are we are we're so blind) [Verse 2 – Thi'sl] I know what it's like to have to make a way out of nothing See they just turned off the lights today, we gotta do something And the gas people comin' tomorrow To feel that anger building looking at your mom You hurt, because you too young to get a job But your homie got a gun and he down to rob Or you could flip a pack, seem like problem solved But that's gon' open up the door to bigger probs You see, we just walkin' out our fathers' sin 'Cause they ran and didn't stand to be men So in return we learn to be our brother's keeper Our aunty's, sister's, cousin's and our mother's keeper But why you think the hood dawg is called a trap? (So who the mice?) 'Cause it's designed to do that (Do what? Keep us trapped) The whole thing's to take us under But we can't see it though because we Stevie Wonder, we blind [Chorus – Brian Owens] Help us to see We're so blind (we are we are we're so blind) Help us be free From our old ways (we are we are we're so blind) [Verse 3 – Thi'sl] I know what it's like to lose the homies, shed tears for the homies Any given second, do years for the homies Can't believe that I'ma spend my years without the homie Now I'm looking down on him like "I'ma ride for you homie" Can't look at his mother 'cause she's so broken now Everything over and we start smoking And we start drinking 'cause that's how we copin' Now we ridin' down they block with mini-van doors open Bruh, I know that lie they fed you 'Cause they fed me the same thing, that's why I'm here to testify 'Cause I know the pain to see your homie merked You wanna k** the whole world, I walked in that rain It make it hard to see that it's wrong We k**in' over blocks that we would never own The whole thing's designed just to take us under But we can't see it though because we Stevie Wonder, we blind [Chorus – Brian Owens] Help us to see We're so blind (we are we are we're so blind) Help us be free From our old ways (we are we are we're so blind) [Outro – Brian Owens] Open up our eyes Free us from the chains of our own sight Open up our eyes, we're so blind Help us see the light We're so blind Open up our eyes
