The pain of our broken bones Holds no candle to the pain of our broken homes The bothersome cold and fatherless homes Who is to blame but our own When mothers overseas See pain that we don’t know And they pray their offspring have no double X chromosome Cause if so, they become triple X photo drones While we spend our time alone On our cellular phones Not connecting with each other’s minds And definitely not connecting with each other’s souls And this black hole’s just the right size For the devil to make his home
And it’s sad to say but I can unfortunately admit that time after time I’ve let these demons inhabit my mind But can you blame me when I’m raised in a nation that Teaches me every time I make a mistake I can just blame society And my United States is a product of history books Not history And I’m the child of enough stern preaching To believe in things I can’t even see But I’ll take it with no reason cause I need some sort of clarity and dignity Through this changing season And people say I’m speaking blasphemy and unrighteously And I’m gonna regret this When really I’m just telling you what I’m afraid of And they say I’m gonna wish I could eat my words When I meet my maker But I’ve compromised myself so many times That I don’t even know what I’m made of So forgive me I’m just another broken human Trying to live freely
