Blood Orange - Thank You (Live Version) lyrics

[Hook: Ava Raiin] Thank you for the promise of your faith Thank you for your all your praise Even if you promise me away Out of your gaze escape [Verse: Blood Orange] To be construed, and strive for best To be amused and laugh at the rest One life could lead to one night alone Your arms on your head A n***a on your chest Never gonna tell my brother I'm not vexed Never gonna tell Becky it's far too complex My heart it still beats for Alton who sleeps Your phone it still beeps My baby can't sleep It's too wrong But tell me who's wrong if I'm in the throng I'm happy as long As Dylan Roof gets squeezed And Zimmerman gets beat A day to be proud finally complete But why's everybody always looking at me? And why's everybody tryna bring down she James said I had to keep on Nina singing her song Miles Blowing his horn Dreaming of Farrakhan Crying for Eric Garner Phliando Castile, imagine losing the will Imagine losing your love The biggest most bitter pill All because of a glove Compartmentalize your bitterness as you just try to survive And if we ain't blessed then why would they want us alive?
