Lyrics Robin Thicke – Tie My Hands

Spoken:
We are one with the universe
The sky is falling and the only thing that can save us now
Is sensitivity and compassion

Da Da Da, Da Da Da Da Da Da x2

oooo

Spoken:
And I know one thing’s for sure (ooooo)
I’m gonna get my kicks before it all burns down

Lil Wayne:
Yea, Some say tragedy’s hard to get over,
But sometimes that tragedy means its over
soldier from the academy leauge of folers I deny being down
Tho they seem to hold us
My shoulders are strong I prove em wrong
I ain’t doin’ nothing but movin’ on
Let the truth be known
But they talk that freedom at us
And didn’t even leave a ladder
Damn

?
We all got problems, problems
?
No one’s going to save us now
How you feel, you’re not alone
We’re all just jealous, jealous
We don’t reach the sky no more
We just cant overcome, noo

Chorus:
Tie my hands, what am i gonna be

You tied my hands,
What have I done so bad

Lil Wayne:
I knock on the door
hope isn’t home
Fate’s not around the luck’s so gone
Don’t ask me what’s wrong
ask me what’s right and I’ma tell you what’s life
And did you know I lost everything
But I ain’t the only one
First came the hurricane then the morning sun
excuse me if I’m on one and don’t trip if i light one
I walk a tight one
They try to tell me keep my eyes open
My whole city under water
Some people still floating
And they wonder why black people still voting
Cause yo president still choking
Take away the football team
and the basketball team
and all we got is me to represent New Orleans
No governor, no help from the mayor
just a steady beating heart and a wish and prayer
Let’s pray

These friends, they come and go
But I got family, family
These kids, so fast they grow
They learn so quickly now
That there’s no where to go
That there’s no future, future
Don’t make this seem so vogue
And we cant overcome

Chorus:
You tie my hands
what am I gonna do
what have I done so bad
what is my destiny
you tie my hands
what am I supposed to see
what have I done so bad
what am I gonna be

Lil Wayne:
Yea, And if ya come from under that water
Then there’s fresh air, just breathe baby
God’s gotta blessing to spare
Yes, i know the process is so much stress
But its the progress that feels the best
Cause i came from the projects Straight to success
And you’re next so try, they cant steal your pride that’s inside
Then find it and keep on grinding
Cause in every dark cloud there’s a silver lining
I know, Yea, Yea, Yea

Spoken:
See, Right now we just riding on love
A shine in the dark, we ain’t trying to do nothing but hit the heart
We need love. That’s all.
Yea, Born right here in the USA.
but due to tragedy, looked on by the whole world as a refugee
so except my emotion, do not take it as an offensive gesture
its just the epitamy of my soul
and I must be me, we got spirit yall
we got spirit
we got soul yall
we got soul
they don’t want us to see
But we already know
