| So many lives I’ve confessed
|
| So many lives made a mess
|
| Pushed it all into something
|
| Pushed it all
|
| You turned and everything went black
|
| You turned and everything went black
|
| Wouldn’t have tried to compete
|
| Wouldn’t have lied but to keep
|
| Something told me it hurt me
|
| Somethings hold
|
| Back
|
| You turned and everything went black
|
| Turned and everything went black
|
| You pushed it all so you’d never see it
|
| You pushed it all…
|
| Laughing and
|
| You’re pulling strings
|
| Dancing on the souls of the weak
|
| And you’re so pretty
|
| You are
|
| You’re so pretty
|
| You turned and everything went black
|
| Turned and everything went black
|
| You turned and everything went black
|
| You turned and everything went black
|
| I never sought power for power’s sake
|
| 'cause power in the hands of a dangerous man
|
| Is power in the hands of an enemy
|
| …an enemy of yours an and enemy of mine
|
| Who manipulates kindness
|
| For his own personal highs
|
| And he’s counting lines, counting numbers
|
| Counting lines, counting lines, counting numbers
|
| …so don’t look at me and sneer
|
| 'cause I am nothing like you
|
| The difference is clear
|
| I’m your nigga you build with fear
|
| And I hope I live to see the day
|
| When your ideals go crashing away
|
| To show you that your reflection is as cold
|
| And as black
|
| As the organs that pump blood to your veins
|
| Because, you see…
|
| I never wanted to own you or
|
| Really anything
|
| Just me
|
| But you pushed
|
| Pushed and pushed me
|
| You pushed
|
| Pushed and pushed me…
|
| Pushed it all into something |
