Kai Straw - Don't Tread On Me lyrics

[Verse 1] She used to walk around needy for love Givin' it up like a thief in the cuffs She'd try to hide it like weed in the trunk I'm livin' it up, don't judge me, playa, I'ma Independent chick on my own hype Gettin' presidents like a vote might And I don't get it, why you care I hit the city naked? I'm gettin' benjamins, sh**, I'm a Diddy record But underneath she was broke Breakin' down when they'd leave her alone She had a need in her bones Feeling empty in her soul she would Look up to the moon and cry, she would beg for a better life And then the moon talked back It said, ‘I see a lot of courage in you right there' It said, ‘You're strong' And she said, ‘I can't do this alone' And it gazed in her soul and it said [Chorus] I've been watchin' you, baby I've been watchin' you I've seen you fall and seen you catch the blues And I know you're down And I know you're out And baby, I can see how You feel like drownin' But babe, you've gotta get up Oh, you've gotta get up You've gotta get up I said you've gotta get up [Verse 2] You've gotta get up off your knees there, lady I know you're praying up to me, near daily Saying things, like, oh, please save me But no, I don't think you need me, because, baby, you are A light bulb in a dark, dark world You're like a match in the black of a cavern Or to attackers, the flash from a magnum Tell ‘em, ‘don't tread on me' Tell ‘em to get off, baby be free That ain't something they can't take from you neither Your freedom is up waiting for you Caught in the ether I said baby you are A light bulb in a dark world You're like the glow when the power is blown Through a window from the moon And I see it ‘cause [Chorus] I've been watchin' you, baby I've been watchin' you I've seen you fall and seen you catch the blues And I know you're down And I know you're out And baby, I can see how You feel like drownin' But babe, you've gotta get up Oh, you've gotta get up You've gotta get up I said you've gotta get up [Outro] First you gotta feel it in your soul Then you feel it bubble up in an emotion Then you feel it down low, real low, in the floor like In it there's a rhythm, 4 x 4, can you feel it? Second, gotta show it when you move Like you're walking to a drum doing your own dance You hear the slappin' of the snare and them high hat flares And a trumpet all singin' that you're home, then.. ..you tell ‘em Nah, don't tread on me
