[Verse 1 Crawdad] Look at her now, handcuffed to the park bench, watching us tear down trees and build apartments We think shes heartless, but we neglected to eat the ripe fruit from the harvest Millions of lives shes taken, not for granted, but the two cant coexist on the planet We take her face, rape it and build a city, and she fights back and feels the pity Shes an artist, an innovator, spent her recent years trying to take back the sin that weve made her But her skin is sensitive and weve been a razor, removing her limbs is against her nature Her screams are hurricanes, pleas and cries are tornadoes We ignore the obvious signs, assume shes okay with our race though, we shape her like play dough She fights, but most nights she bites down, takes those bumps and bruises we give her like a man We on a mission to kill her yet she sticks out her hand, and offers help We too preoccupied, all for self and none for her, wont happen with this song, nah Cause we still the jigsaw, look at it now and tell me this shits wrong Now shes sick cant help herself and weve manipulated well, stuck her in this jaded cell and forced her just to fend for self You dont get it, she dont want to do this, shed gladly be a teacher if wed be the student Shes got years on us, in the millions, yet weve become corrupt in her eyes From guests to civilians [Verse 2 Crawdad] attention children class has been canceled Law enforcement have got their hands full, she decided to jump on the piano and play the blues Volcanoes melt down a poor mans shoes, women and children fall through cracks in the earth Weve attacked her since birth, the worst we could do has already been done Yo momma, thats a big sun, I know son, please stay away Her bark and her bite pierce our skulls like razor blades As we fade away we realize that we shaped our fate Bodies line the streets, skin dry as grapes, she left a message in the clouds Its too smoky to see through the wreckage of this town What a perfect demonstration of a lost cause, yo, yo, yo whos got gauze Homie over here is bleeding, plus hes covered in the ceiling, I got a feeling times not healing what were dealing with, man this is real as shit, I knew she wasnt feeling And we wondering if she got more, a ball of flames, falls from the sky and hits a garage door We fought more for a lost war than we ever did for her health Little boy kisses her cheek, bids his life farewell, follows the light to hell
weve, shes, crawdad, razor, yo
