letra de waiting for tomorrow - bornfree

i watched the last bird in my city fly away this morning
warning the creatures bound to the ground to leave at the first sound of war
and as it disappeared into the horizon
i’m reminded that in my life i was never given the last resort of flight
cause i’m a fighter nearly lost my life so many times
i wouldn’t be surprised if come to find out after all this time
we’re lightning in a bottle to the system
the same system we’re gathered here with intentions to turn from victimizer to victim
see we witnessed this sh-t get critical soon as it happened
we went from laughing and clapping to strapping and evacuating women and children
hollowing buildings, -ssembling in secret
leaving families, careers and academics to defend the streets we grew up on
who knew when we left home for independence
we’d be back in less than a year for more than personal business
but here we are, no time for sorrow, just a trail of blood to follow
your sons and your daughters got you waiting for tomorrow

(chorus)
we got’em waiting for tomorrow
we can no longer show mercy or sorrow for a system we’ve been forced so long to follow
we got’em waiting for tomorrow
the empire falls tonight because the people have the right to have control over our lives
we got’em waiting for tomorrow
the sun will not arise long as the system is alive, so we will fight throughout the night
we got’em waiting for tomorrow
we are gathered here together, its now or never – tonight is the last night of forever
we got’em waiting for tomorrow

my timmy’s break the surface of a puddle splashing reflections of the skies above against me
trickling down as speedily as the flow of our enemies’ adrenaline
when trepidation possesses them
in less than a second after -ssessing our message
we then -ssemble; tears pour down from the heavens
onto a trembling planet beneath both me and my traveling companions
banded together, demeanors mirror the weather
and whatever opposition positioned before us better stand prepared
i got a hardhead to my left and he don’t do a lot of chatter
rather bodybag than tolerate unnecessary yapping
lightning strikes at his arrival, street, mean teen keen sense of survival
neither bullets, banks nor bibles will deter us –
still carry the hurt of my mother’s murder
not a word i can discern can return a person from earth
but i use the resent nihilistically
spitting from the middle of the little n-gga still waiting for his mamma to shake him awake
with a kiss and embrace with a smile on her face in me

(chorus)

mamma pardon all the hatred in my heart
but when whoever is to blame took you away from me
i lost the greater part of what you gave hereditarily:
love, comp-ssion, good nature all escaped from my being
and was replaced with these demons i’ve been defeating since birth –
now that i’m weakened they see me and the most high ain’t been speaking
so they entreat my allegiance –
i’m for the people!
and though the evil i’ve made my life to destroy
is the seed of the creatures from which i breed
i plan to lead them through the darkness to freedom!
we wear our scars on our sleeves, we put our hearts on these records
never neglecting our brethren
we cry, we sweat and we bleed together, forever or what’s left of it
better than them lames that you’re repping, the resistance is evidence
to the free world before us and the suffering that bore us
that no more innocent souls will be forcibly sold from this point forward
so lower your inhibitions, load up your ammunition
elevate your fists and save your wishes for timmy’s fishes

(chorus)
