Tormance - Tame lyrics
Three gang bangers in the car that just pa**ed me Tragedy struck the man whose sitting in the back seat Tripping on the d**h of his little brother k**ed last week Living the same wondering when and will they blast me He gets that it's a game but confused about who's holding the reigns Trying to name who'll blow him away like a candle flame A shame he'll never know a life without fear Enslaved by the law and the judgment of his peers He needed direction but there was no one there to steer Childhood lost, and now he's in his last year About to get his gun look at what America made Grew up in an area where the future is gray Unfortunate he'll get k**ed by someone under 2 A Who'll sit in prison till his time's up all the same Return to presence he could make the choice to walk away But instead stays saying that his heart is in the right place Two year old girl sleeping in the car behind me A world of difference to be made before her d**h at 9 3 She loved being a part of it so far as I see Being born into a world where a life ain't likely The Goldilocks zone highly afraid and alone With a face that says I'm here but she don't know that I'm home And she has no idea of the world her child will get That her odds'll be worse than playin Russian roulette And yet the strength to perceiver'll see her through, and make a change In walks of life despite difference in avenue, she'll rearrange The way people are living not to say they'll be the same, but Everyone'll be able to love what they became, plus She'll have everything her mother wanted for her and more The knowledge of the fact that she could shake the world to the core The car I'm sitting in is occupied by one transitioning Only just starting to see the world that I am living in I've learned a little bit and I've been seeing pretty clear But my future is clouded which is fine I'm right here I'm tryna fix what I am, and become all that I can Since taking my guru's hand, has become part of the plan Standing up for what is right'll get me closer to the light So here I go tryna incite a shift to strengthen people's lives But we're all on the same road
