Crosses

Said I'm a stranger in my land Spitting on a helping hand And I'm out here making waves But I built my house on sand You built your house on slaughter Spread the blackness through my veins Rip your claws right through my alter Growing stronger on my pain Can I ever be the same? Will I ever feel the summer? And I watch you through the window Whisper sweetness to my brothers Tryna drag them through the mist On my neck the Devil kissed You ain't won, you ain't won I can't take it And I've been feeling so alone Although you're holding on me I've been awake for so long, yeah Won't someone help me to sleep? And everybody's got a cross to bear My father's sins are not a part of me And everybody's got a cross to bear My father's sins are not a part of me I been so sick of the bullshit Tempted to throw up the deuces Walls have been grey despite all of the claims Of the times that we had in my music I don't feel represented My pleas to the masses have always been white noise Say that I was Heaven-sented But perks of God's children been handed to white boys Acting viceroy, I'll check your mate like a wise choice Past is checkered checkered, checkered, checkered Black and whities they coming for thyroids And they throw shade, shade, shade rooms But petals rain on laid tombs Seen brains slain just for views Okay, 'kay, KKK coons, yeah I've been looking for the bright side But my blinds down and my sights blind Paving a way for the like-mind If I can't steer then I'll just grind Fight time, buy time Dylon, Dylon, Dylon, I'm the best 'til I die alone Put it in text on the tombstone, yeah Heaven-sent Cross to bear And everybody's got a cross to bear My father's sins are not a part of me And everybody's got a cross to bear My father's sins are not a part of me And everybody's got a cross to bear My father's sins are not a part of me
