Tree Stumps

I picture before me a mighty tree Feeling the sun while beneath the leaves No one can tell me when I can leave Baby I'm loving it you and me But how come you're grabbing the wood cutter's axe Chopping it down and I cannot relax Not a tree hugger so I'll speak the facts Feeling all the pressure to make an impact on my back You square it up Look it up and down Cannot see the behind So you circle round and round You take your axe and you Throw it in the side Why'd you make me bleed when I was with you for the ride You square it up Look it up and down Cannot see the behind So you circle round and round You take your axe and you Throw it in the side Why'd you make me bleed when I was with you for the ride I tried to show you love and gave you shade for you to hide Offered you my fruit for the apple of your eye But just because I'm large have bark and sway to sides Means I'm unapproachable and unable to confide And all because of that you place stereotypes View me from a distance so you hate me in the light Thinking how I'm gonna make this right Will I make it through the night I don't really know how I feel Placed in a strawberry field Baby this wasn't my choice When you scream I feel your voice I can't change where I'm at You've cut me deep like a cat Unappreciative of who I am Sacrifice me like a lamb You square it up Look it up and down Cannot see the behind So you circle round and round You take your axe and you Throw it in the side Why'd you make me bleed when I was with you for the ride You square it up Look it up and down Cannot see the behind So you circle round and round You take your axe and you Throw it in the side Why'd you make me bleed when I was with you for the ride On the tree stump Of where I used to be You really have messed All your pain wasn't from me Can't you see the representation of A people more hated Than the brothers and cousins of prophets past sated Your desire for your justice has left you bound with crutches Because every time you blamed me You projected your lack of loving And I'm sorry that that's how you had to grow up But it doesn't mean you can't still glow up So go up go up Go up go up Glow up glow up Glow up glow up We've been living in a system where everyone is a victim It could deal with race place sex gender or the checks What a first world issue to be bullied on then net And I mean this with no disrespect Let me tell you of a story Where joy comes out of mourning 33 AD arguably on the scene of a King Standing free Yet beaten by the whip of decree And it should've been me Planted like a tree with my sin on top of his knees Never caused injustice a victim He was for me Mighty and offending I guess he was like a tree Looking at the cross sing the chorus with me You square it up Look it up and down Cannot see the behind So you circle round and round You take your axe and you Throw it in the side Why'd you make me bleed when I was with you for the ride You square it up Look it up and down Cannot see the behind So you circle round and round You take your axe and you Throw it in the side Why'd you make me bleed when I was with you for the ride
