Lil Wayne, Robin Thicke - Tie My Hands(2008)

[00:21.46] We are at war
[00:23.65] With the universe
[00:28.56] The sky is falling
[00:30.83]
[00:35.03] And the only thing that can save us now
[00:38.69] Is sensitivity and compassion
[00:43.13] But I know one thing's for sure
[00:46.38]
[00:58.05] I'm gonna get my kicks before it all burns down
[01:03.74] Yeah, some say tragedy is hard to get over
[01:06.28] But some time that tragedy means its over, soldier
[01:09.24] From the academy league of rollers
[01:11.42] I deny being down though they seem to hold us
[01:14.14] My shoulders are strong, I prove them wrong
[01:16.80] I ain't doing nothing but moving on, let the truth be known
[01:20.09] But they talk that freedom at us and didn't even leave a ladder, damn
[01:25.28] I work at the corner store
[01:28.12] We all got problems problems
[01:31.14] No one's gon' fight alone
[01:33.82] No one's gon' save us now
[01:36.02] How you feel? you're not alone
[01:38.59] We're all just jealous, jealous
[01:41.42] We don't reach the sky no more
[01:44.14] We just can't overcome no
[01:46.67] You tie my hands
[01:48.25] What am I gonna be
[01:50.73] What have I done so bad
[01:53.63] What is my destiny
[01:56.69] You tie my hands
[01:59.39] What am I supposed to see
[02:02.00] What have I done so bad
[02:04.74] What am I gonna be
[02:07.27] I, knock on the door, hope isn't home
[02:10.27] Fates not around, the lucks all gone
[02:13.19] Don't ask me whats wrong, ask me whats right
[02:16.13] And I'mma tell you what's life?
[02:18.09] And did you know?
[02:19.18] I lost everything, but I ain't the only one
[02:21.06] First came the hurricane, then the morning sun
[02:24.04] Excuse me if I'm on one, and don't trip if I light one, I walk a tight one
[02:28.84] They try to tell me keep my eyes open
[02:31.65] My whole city under water, some people still floating
[02:34.67] And they wonder why black people still voting,
[02:37.65] Cause your president's still choking
[02:39.60] Take away the Football team, the Basketball team
[02:42.28] Now all we got is me to represent New Orleans, shit
[02:45.53] No governor, no help from the mayor
[02:47.37] Just a steady beating heart, and a wish and a prayer
[02:50.60] Lets pray
[02:51.38] These friends they come and go
[02:53.08] But I got family family
[02:55.81] These kids so fast they grow
[02:58.78] They learn so quickly now
[03:00.91] But there's no where to go,
[03:03.35] But there's future future
[03:06.34] Don't make this seem so low
[03:08.85] And we can't overcome
[03:11.78] You tie my hands
[03:13.67] What am I gonna be
[03:16.35] What have I done so bad
[03:18.87] What is my destiny
[03:22.08] You tie my hands
[03:24.48] What am I supposed to see
[03:26.94] What have I done so bad
[03:30.14] What am I gonna be
[03:33.19] And if you come from under that water then there's fresh air
[03:35.36] Just breathe baby, Gods got a blessing to spare
[03:38.23] Yes, I know the process has so much stress
[03:41.07] But its the progress that feels the best
[03:42.93] Cause I came from the projects straight to success
[03:45.36] And your next, so try they cant steal your pride its inside
[03:49.11] Then find it and keep on grinding
