Byron Henderson - LIBERTE ENSANGLANTÉ. lyrics

If a picture is worth a thousand words
Imagine how many of them are lies yeah yeah
Look, look mm

Partly a product of women that overcome
Watched people tell the truth
While living lies
Started feeling like the ish was overdone
Words only have value when actions match
Bottled feelings turn to cancer quick
Back against the wall
Now you're overrun by every demon
You were sharing dances with
Everything ain't all fine
Really must be out of y'all mind
Of course if I don't conform or do the norm
Y'all arе bound to think I lost mine
Steady trying to make up for lost timе
Fingers crossed every one of
Y'all find freedom, Never have to run again
Ironically, a single book left
All of y'all blind just look at my skin
Don't compare me to God
Please don't look up to me
Spare me the lies stripped of my innocence
Kept my beliefs though
You won't take them, but I dare you to try
Conditioned my friends long before
I met them, Relatives too
All misguided
Some stayed lost, some got away
Similar to slaves, conditions apply
You either submit or rebel
But if you don't submit then you die
My friends are women
So if that book is law, they're spoken for
Just imagine how crazy that
Looks through my eyes
Dawg, there's a thing called business
And you should probably try to mind yours
Don't come messing up our peace just
Because you can't find yours

I heard war gives value to life by
Showing it can be taken away or
Something like that as if that makes life
More meaningful what do y'all think?

Left side, left side, hey
Right side, ride side, whoa, whoa, whoa

Scream for hours, fighting off ghosts
Never found hope
Just lost rope we were hanging from

Me and this world are like day and night
Constantly watching people just
Pray to Christ like, since you gave me life
I sent you two back then paid the price
I'll probably be crucified for these verses
I'm becoming too defiant, I guess
Y'all hoop and holler bout race
Yet still buy Gucci, Prada, Why stress
Better yet, highly doubt there's
Segregation in Heaven, If we're all equal
That's for you Christians
Screw the Vatican
How are y'all not hip to the
Fact that Church is business
Religious prisons, see y'all trapped
Tell me what's the difference
See the road the world is taking
Dolphin dive out the car cause
That's a lonely destination
To come up missing in
Y'all yelling mask off, yeah
That's until the Blacks come
Then it's F Future on some 8 Mile ish
Yup, it's back to the past
Folks love to act tough, then play the victim
I don't curse, why, it's cause I'm Black
Duh
I've been cursed enough to know my past life
And how God's children love to act up
Let me fly like I'm DarkMan X, wonder
Why your God kept us grounded, Listen
Look around
Can't imagine what y'all would do to
Heaven if you ever found it
Wishing for my downfall, while these
Billionaires pull strings, drink wine
Clown y'all
So eager to stunt on each other
You won't even ride in the same clown car
The chicken came before the egg
But humans are problematic
Lack of affection and pride
Ego and insecurities arise
Even more problems added
Diamonds dancing, money talks in your mind
Y'all aren't wrapped too tight
We live on a rock that
Gave us means to survive
But y'all said that's too nice
Read the scripture never knowing it
Was probably set in motion, Not a prediction
They had a plan for the planet
You won't understand it but follow
It's part of the mission
Ideologies from centuries back
Nas told y'all it was written
Truth buried in the Earth gave you a higher
Power with only a book as the witness
Please, these billionaires didn't pop up
Out of thin air
Generational wealth is funding the banks
The wars, the lies, They've been here
Everyone has a place
Any who step out of line get erased tell me
Did you ever stop to think about why
You're so comfortable believing in fear?
Never dumb enough to believe a word
But I'm smart enough to
Know we're not alone
Blessed be the thought of liberation from the
Cult formed right under our noses
Yeah, a firm believer in the youth
But once you're too exposed to the lies
I can't expect you to believe in the truth
