Soul Glo 3

I'm beyond bars, or at least outside, Under the eye of the overseer I'm piped up like the club Drugs consumed by all my peers I'm out here living young and unrepentant A perpetual piece of every Problem that I ain't wearing like a pendant But if I'm moving loud to pay my student loans I'm still a dependent, so Am I poppin'? Am I really even poppin'? Re-up, can't get fucked up enough Why pay to pipe the drug And not get paid to play the plug? Success and stomach acid sting A nigga tongue the same You sell 4oz in 1 day, You can tell me that crime don't pay Don't tell me you'íll change someday And, in the meantime, act the same way Don't fix your mouth to lie to my face To try to force me out of feeling played Actions get explained away So I'm gonna shut the fuck up, just in case There's a benefit gig for nobody Raising residue of middle class money Could we send those stacks Back to the past in neat packs And put them underneath the feet of Everybody lynched so they can Catch their breath at last? They swing in my mind Singing out across time Sounding off like windchimes Our bloodlines hung from pines Burning brighter than the fires Behind the bluest eye Burning brighter than the fires Behind the bluest eye They swing in my mind Singing out across time Sounding off like windchimes Our bloodlines hung from pines Burning brighter than the fires Behind the bluest eye Burning brighter than the fires Behind the bluest eye

Hear the noise, tonight You've burned down your light Breathe you in, hold you down You don't have to tread the line Stop the noise Words getting louder Try to hide like a child Hard to see and too hard to find You don't have to tread the line You don't have to tread the line And does it hurt you? Do you feel when I try to touch? And are you scared now? If I open up maybe you will When soldiers are calling Just run through the night glo Drown out the voices And you know you don't have to go And you know you don't have to go Kill the noise tonight You've burned down your light All the kings and all their men Can't put you together again Can't put you together again And does it hurt you? Do you feel when I try to touch? And are you scared now? If I open up maybe you will When soldiers are calling Just run through the night glo Drown out the voices And you know you don't have to go And does it hurt you? Do you feel when I try to touch? And are you scared now? If I open up maybe you will Soldiers are calling Just run through the night glo Drown out the voices And you know you don't have to go When soldiers are calling Just run through the night glo Drown out the voices And you know you don't have to go
