Home Sick

The closest we come to divinity Your hand in mine My mind a blank slate Stuck in that state Before I knew the world that I know Back when things were new, simple and sweet Something is wrong here I don't belong here I just keep painting and writing my songs here Maybe she'll reach out to me When I'm gone Down in the dirt and I'm done here Cause I cannot live for the clout Money and the fame Don't take away shame Don't take away doubt There's too much corruption And I cannot function I call my girl to tell her I love her I'm leaving tonight I'm in search of another Beloved Why's it so hard to treat people with dignity I wanna leave and just live in infinity I need a world that can match my serenity Lawd I know I'm not the only one Who feels something is wrong No, I'm not the only one Who feels so far from home One day they'll look back at my poetry And finally know me One day they'll look back at my letters And finally see One day they'll look back at my poetry And finally know me One day she'll look back at my letters And finally see Something ain't right Why are they constantly dimmin my light Put me in boxes And label my life She gay or she straight? She black or she white? But I'm made from the stars A human the angels have carved into flaws Born in December I'll die for the cause Throw me on stages with rounds of applause Lawd Death and destruction Fighting and bickering Everyone yellin' Ain't nobody listenin' There's no regard for the human condition Our leaders betray us Get paid in commission Listen Why's it so hard to treat people with dignity I wanna leave and just live in infinity I need a world that can match my serenity Lawd I know I'm not the only one Who feels something is wrong No, I'm not the only one Who feels so far from home One day they'll look back at my poetry And finally know me One day they'll look back at my letters And finally see One day they'll look back at my poetry And finally know me One day she'll look back at my letters And finally see
