Eli Arbor - Injustice lyrics

[Verse 1: Eli Arbor] What's a scar but evidence that you've lived in a world that doesn't have much else to give? How do you move in the way the way the world's on your shoulders? Eyes closed and the world is getting colder? I'm starin' and checkin' my wrist Been over a year since, and I still feel exactly where the cuts were I'm thinkin' that I should get a couple of black X's tattooed so you see where the cuffs were They usin' my agony for ecstasy All of my n***as next to me, I still feel alone I click my heels a million times and I still haven't made it home If home is where the heart is, is it still home if ya heartless? How can you build a home if they take everything that you love? Take everything that you love? [Verse 2: Eli Arbor] 'cause we came from ashes Tired, huddled ma**es After masters abandoned us then we tried to recapture the aftermath of enslavement We've been plagued by the ba*tards Our mistakes are our sins Your mistakes are our sins, too Why do kids die? Why I gotta apologize? Why I gotta see the fear reflected in my father's eyes, while mama don't want me to go outside? Nighttime on my own block Afraid I might get shot in a war over dirt that nobody wants (in a war over dirt that nobody wants) So we flirt with d**h, call it "black love" But a bad b**h is the same sh** 'cause either way if she puttin' out we feel regret if we came in Gettin' back at the universe f** a lung, n***a f** a liver f** a life, I was born a sinner f** a silver platter, I ain't get a dinner How you hungry, carryin' weight of the world? What's a scar but evidence you've survived in a world where you can't make it out alive?
