Tie My Hands Lyrics - Tha Carter Iii - Lil Wayne

We are at war 

With the universe 

The sky is falling 

And the only thing that can save us now 

Is sensitivity and compassion 

But I know one thing's for sure 

I'm gonna get my kicks before it all burns down 

Yeah, some say tragedy is hard to get over 

But some time that tragedy means its over, soldier 

From the academy league of rollers 

I deny being down though they seem to hold us 

My shoulders are strong, I prove them wrong 

I ain't doing nothing but moving on, let the truth be known 

But they talk that freedom at us and didn't even leave a ladder, damn

I work at the corner store 

We all got problems problems 

No one's gon' fight alone 

No one's gon' save us now 

How you feel? you're not alone 

We're all just jealous, jealous 

We don't reach the sky no more 

We just can't overcome no 

You tie my hands 

What am I gonna be 

What have I done so bad 

What is my destiny 

You tie my hands 

What am I supposed to see 

What have I done so bad 

What am I gonna be

I, knock on the door, hope isn't home 

Fates not around, the lucks all gone 

Don't ask me whats wrong, ask me whats right 

And I'mma tell you what's life? 

And did you know? 

I lost everything, but I ain't the only one 

First came the hurricane, then the morning sun 

Excuse me if I'm on one, and don't trip if I light one, I walk a tight one 

They try to tell me keep my eyes open 

My whole city under water, some people still floating 

And they wonder why black people still voting, 

cause your president's 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 beating heart, and a wish and a prayer 

Lets pray 

These friends they come and go 

But I got family family 

These kids so fast they grow 

They learn so quickly now 

But there's no where to go, 

But there's future future 

Don't make this seem so low 

And we can't overcome 

You tie my hands 

What am I gonna be 

What have I done so bad 

What is my destiny 

You tie my hands 

What am I supposed to see 

What have I done so bad 

What am I gonna be 

And if you come from under that water then there's fresh air 

Just breathe baby, Gods got a blessing to spare 

Yes, I know the process has so much stress 

But its the progress that feels the best 

Cause I came from the projects straight to success 

And your next, so try they cant steal your pride its inside 

Then find it and keep on grinding 

Cause in every dark cloud there's a silver lining 

I know... 

Yeah, yeah... yeah 

See... right now we just riding on love 

And shine in the dark, we ain't tryna do nothing be at the heart 

We need love, that's all now 

You tie my hands 

What am I gonna be 

What have I done so bad 

What is my destiny 

You tie my hands 

What am I supposed to see 

What have I done so bad 

What am I gonna be 

You tie my hands 

What am I gonna be 

What have I done so bad 

What is my destiny 

You tie my hands 

What am I supposed to see 

What have I done so bad 

What am I gonna be 

Born right here in the USA 

But due to tragedy, looked on by the whole world as a refugee 

So, accept my emotion, do not take it as an offensive gesture 

It's just the epitome of my soul 

And I must be me 

We got spirit y'all 

We go spirit 

We got soul y'all 

We got soul 

They don't want us to see, but we already know
