kai straw - back from the crypt lyrics

[verse 1 – kai straw]
life doesn’t owe you sh-t
black, white, or mexican
asian or east indian
russian or czech
so quit fussin’ and get up
you’ll fall once, and get up
scabs on scabs make heels out of the softer skin
it’s making you marvelous every time you’re fallin’
that’s your soul gettin’ stronger
when you make it through some darkness
like a wandering toddler lost his way
or a cub without a momma trynna hide from the rain
we’re all fighting to stay alive with not much to guide us
except a couple rules from the quran to the bible
we’re blinder than the soldier in a smoldering fog of emotion
or an old woman struck with glaucoma
so hold your head up, and don’t you ever let up
keep your chin high above the water
even when the cinder blocks are tied around your body
holding you down, you cannot drown
you cannot give up now, i said you’ve gotta get up
you’ve gotta erupt
you’ve gotta be the one in the arena declaring your freedom
not the critic feeding on the people who fall
in the land of the vultures, you can’t be a corpse
you’ve gotta be the king of this jungle, not the poacher
you can’t be afraid to sing, you’ve gotta pull ’em off your throat
you can’t be everything, but you can be what you’re supposed to
to take your destiny, you can’t do what you’re told
you’ve gotta be, strong

[chorus – kai straw]
go ahead and walk with a limp
drag your heel like you’re back from the crypt
i said you’re, strong
like a villain out to feed on bones
you’re a monster, baby
like a ghoul to a house
like a ghost in the movies, arrivin’ unannounced
say i’m back, dammit, like some voodoo, h-ll
and i’m coming for your neck, you better hide

[verse 2 – zayvsthem]
who do you believe in?
i heard your call, baby girl, i know you’re grieving
what’s the reason?
girl, you can’t be no older than 23
and you acting like it’s 2012 again
the end of the world
i might be the only friend of a girl
who ain’t been to chicago but love to act shy
her booty gettin’ bigger, she attracting black guys
try to leave without payin’
you gonna leave with black eye
from the only man she ever knew, he outside
palms atcha’ for the revenue
let me paint a better view
down on them knees again
which way is east again?
allah, or muhammad, buddhist or christian
she just gon’ pray to whoever will listen
when the sun is down, i make that my mission
so please, get up off ya’ knees
you don’t see trees hangin’ onto dead leaves
baby, you’ve gotta let ’em go

[bridge – kai straw]
say i’m coming
say the world better hide from me
say i’m coming
say the world better hide from me
say i’m coming
say the world better hide from me
say i’m coming
say the world better hide from me

(zayvsthem) alright, sing it with me
