No Ways Tired (feat. Joseph Solomon)

She said she was tired Tired of mailing her sons away Tired of guns summoning death Telling the press, too frustrated to yell and it's messing with her I remember when they told me I wasn't the homie I was a segment She said it with tears with her head in my chest and I felt the burden, I felt it burn up, I saw the fire I saw the furnace, who turned it higher? I heard and turned and grabbed some dirt She said that my son's inside it It's hard to pray and say the name of [?] but who will listen? This prison system is lynching my babies His bail is higher than what put him inside and it's crazy Is he a colleague from Riker's Island with violence Or maybe he gotta die to be safe While I'm still alive, let us pray Life is getting harder, God I need Thee Gotta walk on water where you are, oh God I need Thee God I'm losing focus, hold me close because I need Thee Never let me go, oh don't I know it, God I need Thee He said he was woke He tired of sleeping, he tired of weeping for bodies Nobody try believing the body is blind, I see it He said it with red in his eye The color that smothered his brother under that sheet He mumbles something I seen The other day when I was walking with him Through the park with lots of children, dogs of all civilians No guards to stop and frisk or draw revolvers, all the privilege We all so different, walks beside a Christian Can't decide the difference, I provide a bridge He frowns and says he wants to hate 'em Put a noose around his neck and text him "how's it hanging?" Treat him like his skin's the curse of Ham, he knows it's Satan When the press becomes oppressive, it's us trading places So he [?] I can't get tired I can't get tired Life is getting harder, God I need Thee Gotta walk on water where you are, oh God I need Thee God I'm losing focus, hold me close because I need Thee Never let me go, oh don't I know it, God I need Thee She said she was tired
