Tired

Текст песни Shirazee - Tired

Tired LyricsWent from a ball and a chain
Now you want a bullet in my skin
Are you scared of my melanin

Or the royal blood in my veins
I no go fall for your violence
I no go suffer in silence

How you telling me to behave
When you got your knee on my head
Why you telling me that I'm safe
When all I really want is some air
I no go fall for your violence
I no go suffer in silence
I'm tired
Your hate is the gas and my pain is the lighter
Take a look around the city's on fire
The more you ignore it the more it'll rise up, rise up

I'm tired
Your hate is the gas and my pain is the lighter
We're giving you love and you set us on fire
The more you ignore it the more we will rise up
Tired, I'm tired

You tell me my voice would be heard
Then I go vote all in vain
Bigotry, liberty, don't sell me dreams of freedom once again
Too many to count, too many results we don't see
I'm getting my peace my way because

I'm tired
Your hate is the gas and my pain is the lighter
Take a look around the city's on fire
The more you ignore it the more it'll rise up, rise up

I'm tired
Your hate is the gas and my pain is the lighter
We're giving you love and you set us on fire
The more you ignore it the more we will rise up
Tired, I'm tired
You always told me it takes time
It's taken my father's time, my mother's time
My uncle's time, my brothers' and my sisters' time
My nieces' and my nephews' time
How much time do you want
All your promises

I'm tired, you're tired
