[00:29.36]The pain of our broken bones
[00:32.71]Holds no candle to the pain of our broken homes
[00:37.81]The bothersome cold and fatherless homes
[00:40.95]Who is to blame but our own
[00:43.18]When mothers overseas
[00:45.05]See pain that we don’t know
[00:46.92]And they pray their offspring have no double X chromosome
[00:50.96]Cause if so, they become triple X photo drones
[00:56.68]While we spend our time alone
[00:59.31]On our cellular phones
[01:01.05]Not connecting with each other’s minds
[01:04.28]And definitely not connecting with each other’s souls
[01:10.35]And this black hole’s just the right size
[01:12.93]For the devil to make his home
[01:18.08]
[01:18.23]And it’s sad to say but
[01:19.84]I can unfortunately admit that time after time
[01:24.29]I’ve let these demons inhabit my mind
[01:27.92]But can you blame me when I’m raised in a nation that
[01:31.06]Teaches me every time I make a mistake
[01:33.65]I can just blame society
[01:35.82]And my United States is a product of history books
[01:40.41]Not history
[01:42.14]And I’m the child of enough stern preaching
[01:46.08]To believe in things I can’t even see
[01:48.96]But I’ll take it with no reason cause
[01:51.59]I need some sort of clarity and dignity
[01:54.24]Through this changing season
[01:58.13]And people say I’m speaking blasphemy and unrighteously
[02:04.10]And I’m gonna regret this
[02:05.71]When really I’m just telling you what I’m afraid of
[02:11.68]And they say I’m gonna wish I could eat my words
[02:14.31]When I meet my maker
[02:16.64]But I’ve compromised myself so many times
[02:20.27]That I don’t even know what I’m made of
[02:23.31]So forgive me
[02:26.25]I’m just another broken human
[02:29.18]Trying to live freely
