Floyd

Hold up for a minute
can you see me?
if you listen would you hear it
how I shed right out of this shell
spilling like water out of this well oh
Hold up for a minute
can you see me?
if you listen would you hear it
how I shed right out of this shell
spilling like water out of this well oh
rose like ash outta hell
Maybe I fell down or maybe I was pushed
my grip on the myself and this world came loose. They
put out a statement but the cameras told the truth
Bent cops, bent knees, arms curved like a noose
harvesting the strange fruit, there's a hunger for the juice
So used to it, surprised it made the news
So used to it, like the sky's used to blue
that your numbness appears to you cruel
Hold up for a minute
can you see me?
if you listen would you hear it
how I shed right out of this shell
spilling like water out of this well oh
Hold up for a minute
can you see me?
if you listen would you hear it
how I shed right out of this shell
spilling like water out of this well oh
rose like ash outta hell
How different things would be if I never took this road
the accusations minor and I did as I was told
maybe the true crime is I'm alive and grown
maybe the true crime is I should already have shown
bout the heat off the pavement, landing on my cheeks
the serpent hiding in the officer's speech
What things I would have done
if only I had known it would be my last week
Peak
Hold up for a minute
can you see me?
if you listen would you hear it
how I shed right out of this shell
spilling like water out of this well oh
Hold up for a minute
can you see me?
if you listen would you hear it
how I shed right out of this shell
spilling like water out of this well oh
rose like ash outta hell
It's a cold cruel world worse still
you can't think of one different
If it ever disappeared guaranteed you would miss it
Shame.
