TIRED

TIRED

V1
Went from a ball and a chain now you want a bullet in skin Are you scared my melanin?
Or the royal blood in my veins?
I no go fall for your violence
I no go suffer in silence

How you telling me to behave
When you got your knee on my head
Why you telling me that I’m safe?
When all I really want is some air
I no go fall for your violence
I no go suffer in silence

Chorus
I’m tired
Your hate is the gas and my pain the lighter Take a look around the city’s on fire The more you ignore it the more it’ll rise up Rise up I’m tired Your hate is the gas and my pain the lighter We’re giving you love and you set us on fire The more you ignore it the more we will rise up Tired I’m tired

V2
You told me my voice would be heard
Then I go vote all in vain
Bigotry liberty don’t sell me dreams of freedom once again
(Nah) too many to count
Too many results we don’t see,
(Nah) I’m getting my peace my way because

Chorus
I’m tired
Your hate is the gas and my pain the lighter Take a look around the city’s on fire The more you ignore it the more it’ll rise up Rise up I’m tired Your hate is the gas and my pain the lighter We’re giving you love and you set us on fire The more you ignore it the more we will rise up Tired I’m tired
