Tie My Hands Lyrics - Robin Thicke

We are at war with the uni 

The sky is falling 

And the only thing that can save us now 

Is sensitivity and compassion 

Dah, de dah, dah dah dah 

Dah, de dah 

Dah, de dah, dah dah dah 

Dah, de dah 

Ooooh 

And I know one thing is for sure 

I'm going to get my kicks before it all burns down

(Yeah!) 

Some say tragedy's hard to get over 

But sometime that tragedy means it's 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 nothin' but movin' on, let the truth be known 

But they talk that freedom matters 

And didn't even leave a ladder, damn 

I work at the corner store 

We all got problems, problem 

Who was goin' fight alone 

No one's goin' 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 (oh oh) 

You tie my hands, what am I supposed to see 

What have I done so bad, what am I gonna be (oh) 

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

Fate's not around, the luck's all gone (that's right) 

Don't ask me what's wrong, ask me what's right 

And I'm a 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 mornin' 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 floatin' 

And they wonder why black people still votin' 

'Cause your president's still chokin' 

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 

Let's 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 a future, future 

Don't make this seem so low, and we can't overcome (no) 

You tie my hands, what am I gonna be (what am I goin' to be?) 

What have I done so bad, what is my destiny (what have I done) 

You tie my hands, what am I supposed to see (what have I done) 

What have I done so bad, what am I gonna be (oooh) 

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

Just breathe baby, god's got a blessin' to spare 

Yes, I know the process has so much stress (oh) 

But it's the progress that feels the best 

'Cause I came from the projects straight to success 

And your next, so try, they can't steal your pride that's inside 

Then find it and keep on grindin' 

'Cause in every dark cloud there's a silver lining, I know 

Yeah, yeah, yeah (oooh) 

See, right now we just ridin' on love 

And shine in the dark (take that money, make that money) 

We ain't tryin' to do nothing be at the heart (take that money, love someone) 

We need love, that's all now (I can't wait to stop the way.) 

You tie my hands, what am I gonna be 

(Yeah, bar right here in the USA, but) 

What have I done so bad, what is my destiny (what have I done) 

(Due to tragedy, looked on, by the whole world as a refugee) 

You tie my hands, what am I supposed to see (what have I done) 

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

What have I done so bad, what am I gonna be (oooh) 

(It's just the epitome of my soul, and I must be me) 

We got spirit y'all 

We got spirit 

We got soul y'all 

We got soul 

They don't want us to see 

But we already know
