lyrics

I was lookin up in the sky, trying to get high
Thinkin bout things that make me cry
All of the lives who survived to give me and mine our time, tell me, Do you know the hands that brought you here
Forged your face through their fire and tears
Gave up their youth, grew their truth, despite this ugly fear from People who know no shame People who run the game,
People who came and changed our names, took no blame
And say we're all the same
They say we're all the same
I was just tryin to get high
But my bloodline was on my mind
Thinkin 'bout my grandmothers beautiful lines
Tell me who's strength got her through the hard times
These hard lines drawn in red, meant to f* with your head Made to fill you with dread,
Made to make you feel like it was something you said, not the People who know no shame, People who run the game, People who came and changed our names, took no blame And say we're all the same
I was just tryin to get high so I could get by
I was just tryin to get high so I could get by yeah
Yeah I was just tryin to get by just trying to get by
