Tie my hands...

If you know me then you know I'm somewhat of a Lil Wayne Hater, I say this with a grain of salt cause I really don't Hate anything, but I can't stand when stupidness floods peoples ears and makes a record ceo rich at the same time as encouraging stereo types and all in the name of supporting a man wit swag, regarless of is he disrespects women in the process....However as I continue to be a Hip Hop head I have grown to allow space to appreciate artists who I may not agree with them on every level and I wouldn't go out of my way (more than talking about them on this blog) to support them or push they music to my homies like I do with the Attik or EyeAsage or Bambu, but I will give the man props cause he came wit it on every level on this one, and it was the only thing not hella boreing about the grammys when he performed: Tie my Hands:

Tie My Hands (featuring Robin Thicke) - Lil Wayne

Robin Thicke:
we are at war
with the universe
the sky is falling
and the only thing that can save us now
is sensitivity
and compassion

but i know one thing is for sure
i'm gonna get my kicks before it all burns down

Lil Wayne:
yeah, some say tragedies is hard to get over
but sometime that tragedy means its over
soldier, from the academy legal frolers
i deny being down though they seen the holers
my shoulders is strong i prove them wrong
i aint doing nothing but moving on
let the truth be known
but they talk that freedom matters and didn't even leave a latter
damn

i work at the corner store we all got problems, problems
who was gon' fight alone
no one's gonna 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 jus 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 s'posed to see
what have i done so bad
what am i gonna be


i knock on the door
hope isnt home
faith's not around the luck's all gone
dont ask me whats wrong
ask me whats right
and i'ma tell you whats life
and did you know
i lost everything but i ain't the only one
first came the hurricane then the morning sun
excuse me if i'm on one and dont trip if i light one
i walk a tight one
they try tell me keep my eyes open
my whole city under water some ppl still floatin'
and they wonder why black ppl still voting
Cuz your president still chokin
take away the football team the basketball team
now all we got is me to represent New Orleans.
no governor, no help from the mayor
jus 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 now
that there's no where to go that there's no future, future
dont make the seem so low
and we can't overcome now.
tie my hands
what are we gonna be
what have i done so bad
what is my destiny
you tie my hands
what am i s'posed to see
what have i done so bad
what am i gonna be

and if you come from under that water, then that's fresh air
just breathe baby God's got a blessing to spare
yes i know the presses is so much stress
but its the progress that feels the best
Cuz i came from the projects straight to success
and you're next so try
they can't steal your pride its inside.
then find it and keep on grinding
Cuz in every dark cloud theres a silver lining, i know.

love will come,
tie my hands
what are we gonna be
what have i done so bad
what is my destiny
tell you, tie my hands
what am i s'posed to see
what have i done so bad
what am i gonna be
born right here in the usa but due to tragdey
looked on, by the whole world as a refugee
so accept my emotion don't take it as an offensive gesture
its just the epitomy of my soul
and i must b me
we got spirt y'all
we got spirit
we got sould y'all
we got soul
they don't want us to see
but we already know
