Byron Henderson - CATCH ME. lyrics

Yeah yeah whoa-whoa

Can't be true to yourself less you
Know who you truly are
Y'all got it confused, being weak and
Being vulnerable ain't mutually exclusive
Dawg that was always a rule though
Hold your head up high and tuck
Your feelings out of view, Oh
But that was never useful
Steady trying to live up to
Expectations of your peers
While they peak over your shoulder
Manipulating all your fears
Wonder how the people closest to
You keep you insecure
You can't reach your full potential
They won't let you leave them here
They call shotgun on your every endeavor
Second place a recurring theme
They won't let you be better
Stunting your growth
All of y'all dreaming of being
People the world will know
Self-esteem depleted
Yet you don't see them wanting
That smoke with the cause
Cause they know they're the cause
Though you know that they're flawed
You still love them regardless
Say only a man can teach a boy how to be one
But if you're surrounded by cowards
You'll be too blinded to ever
Identify or see one

Can anybody catch me?
I feel like I'm falling again
My dance partner left me alone
On the dance floor
Though I went through all this for them

Devil peeking through my window
We'll never dance again, Dawg
As far as both my friends go
Only two people more solid than this wall
Is anybody out there?

Yeah, I'm well connected with my mind, body
Soul so I sit and recollect on all
The lies I was told
Bottle thoughts with that elixir
You fight them with, Helpless
Why, when your feelings matter
Like anyone else's
Hearing the gossip from friends
That turned enemies, Envious
Realign your thoughts before it
Turns your heart hideous
Couldn't save Tsushima still
Hanging round Ryuzo wins come with losses
Your potential never knew lows
Often best if you ghost folks
Your mental health comes first
Carve two new roads, and make sure both work
Trust issues from your past
All rooted in deceit
Too afraid to be discouraged
So you're ruling out the meet and greet
No love story, this is real life
It's what folks that share the same
Hue as me feel like
Careful round the company you keep
Snakes will bite
Remember even your darkest of
Thoughts shed real light
You can feel the tension in
The air you breathe
Cause you know somewhere someone couldn't
And probably perished unnecessarily
Whether it's here, Israel, or Palestine
It's real out here
Dealing with suicide, genocide, homicide
Even the Sikhs
And the farmers that help us eat
Heard it by word of mouth
Guess we're the land of the sheep
But I'm stepping to the wolves
No weapon they possess will make
Me second guess my morals
I found a safe passage to the shore
Sure enough, I was in the midst of a war
I walk away from the ruins
And sand bleached from bones
I see corrupted officials
Still causing disruption
World leaders told peace like Hammer
Can't touch this
No reconciliation with you or your past
Nothing equal in your math for my people
What's a flag sutured with bloody cotton
I wish I could put a match to it
Along with every Patriotic belief
Attached to it
Been sitting on this thought for days
How the coin just flipped
Whites went from owning us
To being slaves themselves
"God save us!", they pray for help
Nah dawg, you're just prey, bed's made
Oh well
Lead strays ricochet, better save yourself
Find peace, chase dreams
You and brave go well
Cause ain't no telling when
Hate will bubble over
This place will swelter, get your heart
In the right place for shelter, Uh

Can anybody catch me?
I feel like I'm falling again
My dance partner left me alone
On the dance floor
Though I went through all this for them

Devil peeking through my window
We'll never dance again, Dawg
As far as both my friends go
Only two people more solid than this wall
Can anybody hear me?
