Come here a minute I ain't gonna say this twice Boy, I been watching you... And I got something to say Seen you shrink yourself down... Every. Single. Day. Folding for a man... That wouldn't fold for you Swallowing your pride... Like it's something you owe him too And I ain't judgin Lord knows I been there too But somebody gotta love you enough To say what I'm about to say to you You ever get tired, brother Tired of living on your knees You ever get tired, brother Of bending in the breeze Cause a punk-ass life Will bleed you dry Call it salvation They preach freedom While they sell you chains You ever get tired, brother Yes Sir Yes Sir You ever get tired, brother Of being somebody elses biitch? Kissing that man's boots Like the polish feeds your kids Doing all the crawling For everything he did Why? A broken brother standing Is a tragedy to watch All that talent, all that fire Locked inside a box You remember You remember We remember Who you were Who you were Before the bargain took your nerve What it cost? I remember when you had a line you wouldn't cross I remember when you had a name That name cost something What he pay you To put that name down They buy your silence Sell it back as peace Was it enough? You gutless weak lamb I ain't asking you to fight I ain't asking you to burn it down I'm asking you to stand up Remember who you gave them Tired of living on your knees Tired of living on your knees You ever get tired...brother Of bending in the breeze Cause a bitch-ass life will bleed you dry And smile while you die They call it grace while they tighten the leash You ever get tired, brother You ever get tired, brother Say it You ever get tired, brother You ever get tired Of being somebody elses bitch? I hope you do I hope you do.
