CeeLo Green - Caved In lyrics

[Bridge: Cee-Lo Green] I can't hold on, I can't hold on But I just hold on, I just hold on [Verse 1: Deacon] Lord why's everybody's puzzle missing pieces Struggling, grinding, greaseless No rhyme or reason in sight I'm seeing the pain off in their eyes I'm seeing that often we lie, lost in our cries I'm seeing impatient parents Blaming unsuspecting children I'm seeing inpatients critical Streets are dead from the k**ings I'm like damn, blocks hot, not from the ozone Through camera's cops watch these lil boys hold chrome Stuck, teenagers, foxes and pups On blocks rocks in they chucks, choppers watching above They need love, not snug cuffs, federally f**ed Tis all an orchestration Hans Zimmer couldn't conduct But whattawedo, most problems dun been discussed But we talk about actions on the backend, and hush I guess most of y'all must listen to Rush Long as you all good, then everybody under you flushed [Hook: Cee-Lo Green] Everytime I try and help myself Reaching out and finding no one else I can't hold on So anytime you feel your soul's in need Realize you can depend on me And let's just hold on [Verse 2: Deacon] We slipping far under the ghoul yard In grim tombs we some dim stars, batteries full barred At birth, but it's hard to stay charged on earth Cause world wide like girth, the wise are in dirt Grandmama's used to bus us to church Humming Hymns Stretch out a fat meal on the table from something slim Now we starving, faith on the back of a carton To find it, follow tracks down arms And boulevards in the south, park Watch as mouth art paints audio visuals Call it rythmical miracles And parts what your eyes red see Throwing change ups in your medley through headpiece Still Judge, but dont Dredd each day, instead feast Life's an unfed beast that eats bread and meat That's either your cash or your corpse So I just hope that the Lord helps me last through these wars Ya know? [Hook] [Bridge]
