Lil` Wayne Tie My Hands Lyrics

Tie My Hands Lyrics

We are at war with the universe, the sky is fallin'

And the only thing that can save us now is sensitivity and compassion

But I know one thing's for sure

I'm gonna get my kicks before it all burns down



Yeah, some say tragedy is hard to get over

But sometime that tragedy means it's over, soulja

From the academy league of rollers

I deny bein' down, though they seem to hold us



My shoulders are strong, I prove them wrong

I ain't doin' nothin' but movin' on, let the truth be known

But they talk that freedom matters

And didn't even leave a ladder, damn



I work at the corner store, we all got problems, problems

No one's gon' fly that low, no one's gon' save us now

How you feel? You're not alone, we're all just jealous, jealous

We don't reach the sky no more, we just can't overcome, no



You tie my hands, what am I gonna be?

What have I done so bad? What is my destiny?

You tie my hands, what am I supposed to see?

What have I done so bad? What am I gonna be?



I knock on the door, hope isn't home

Fate's not around, the luck's all gone

Don't ask me what's wrong, ask me what's right

And I'ma tell you what's life



And did you know I lost everythin'? But I ain't the only one

First came the hurricane then the mornin' sun

Excuse me, if I'm on one

And don't trip if I light one, I walk a tight one



They try to tell me keep my eyes open

My whole city under water, some people still floatin'

And they wonder why black people still votin'

'€˜Cause your president's still chokin'



Take away the football team, the basketball team

Now, all we got is me to represent New Orleans, shit

No governor, no help from the mayor

Just a steady beatin' heart and a wish and a prayer, let's pray



These friends they come and go but I got family, family

These kids, so fast they grow, they learn, so quickly, oh

But there's nowhere to go, but there's future, future

They'll make this seem so low and we can't overcome, oh



You tie my hands, what am I gonna be?

What have I done so bad? What is my destiny?

You tie my hands, what am I supposed to see?

What have I done so bad? What am I gonna be?



And if you come from under that water then there's fresh air

Just breathe, baby, God's got a blessin' to spare

Yes, I know the process has so much stress

But it's the progress that feels the best



'Cause I came from the projects straight to success

And you're next, so try, they can't steal your pride, it's inside

Then find it and keep on grindin'

'Cause in every dark cloud there's a silver linin', I know



Yeah, yeah, yeah

See right now we just ridin' on love and shinin' in dark

We ain't tryna do nothin', be at the heart

We need love, that's all now, that's all



You tie my hands, what am I gonna be?

What have I done so bad? What is my destiny?

You tie my hands, what am I goin' to see?

What have I done so bad? What am I gonna be?



You tie my hands, what am I gonna be?

What have I done so bad? What is my destiny?

You tie my hands, what am I goin' to see?

What have I done so bad? What am I gonna be?
