Lil' Wayne – Tie My Hands (feat. Robin Thickle) Lyric

aus dem Album The Carter III

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

Singing:

Daa da da, da da da daa da da
Daa da da, da da da daa da da

Robin Thicke:

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

Lil Wayne:

Yeah some say tragedy's hard to get over
but sometimes that tragedy means it's over
soldier from the academy league of rollers
i deny being down though they seen to hold us
my shoulders are strong i prove'em 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 ladder .
damn

Robin Thicke:

i work at the corner store we all got problems, problems .
no one's gonna fly down low
no one's gonna save us now
how you feel you're not alone we're all just jealous, jealous
we dont reach the sky no more we just can't overcome.

Chorus:

You tie my hands what am I gonna be?
What have I done so bad?
What is my destiny?
You tie my hands what I am I suppose to see?
What have I done so bad?
What am I gonna be?

Lil wayne:

i knock on the door hope isnt home
fate's not around the luck's so gone.
dont ask me whats wrong. ask me whats right and ima tell you whats life
and did you know i lost everything but i aint the only one
first came the hurricane then the morning sun
excuse me if im 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 underwater some ppl still floatin'
and they wonder why black ppl still voting cause your president still choking
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. lets pray

Robin Thicke:

these friends they come and go but i got family, family
these kids so fast they grow they learn so quickly now
that theres no where to go that theres no future future.
dont make this here so low and we can't overcome, no

Chorus:

You tie my hands what am I gonna be?
What have I done so bad?
What is my destiny?
You tie my hands what I am I suppose to see?
What have I done so bad?
What am I gonna be?

Lil Wayne:

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

spoken*:

yeh yeah yeah. see right now we jus ridin on love
a shot in the dark
we aint tryna to do nothing but hit the heart. we need love
that's all y'all, that's all

Chorus:

You tie my hands what am I gonna be?
What have I done so bad?
What is my destiny?
You tie my hands what I am I suppose to see?
What have I done so bad?
What am I gonna be?

Lil wayne *spoken:

yeah born right here in the usa but due to tragedey looked on by the wole world as a refugee
so accept my emotion dont take it as an offensieve gestture
its just the epitome of my soul and i must b me
we got spirit y'all. we got spirit we got soul y'all
we got soul they dont want us to see but we already know
