lyrics

You were thinking that you could handle stormy weather
With so many people wishing they were living better
The rain was pouring in, our soggy mess was multiplying
I had to speak, I spoke, but you laughed and called it “crying”

Right there and then it occurred to me, you were after me.

You’re rally crying, truth denying and you’re pushing buttons,
We work for nothing all the while, boy you think you’re something
You got the squeeze while Backing people in the corner,
When education speaks, it bonds, yeah it makes us stronger

I just happen to express myself, now you’re after me
Just want to keep on living free, but you’re after me

It was all in my head, they said, when I screamed beware
Yet here they come, after me.
I know I tow the line with my heart sometimes
So here they come, after me.

You were thinking that you could handle stormy weather
Grabbing / anyone you want, because you think you’re better
The flood is pouring in, our soggy mess is multiplying
I had to speak, I spoke, Now you wanna see my dying

I can’t believe you were chosen to lead
When your life is a circus that’s run by the fleas
I won’t retrieve like a dog on a lead
Who gets choked out while trying to please

You can’t keep me down for long, so come on after me

It was all in my head about them wanting me dead
Cause here they come after me
You know I tow the line with my heart sometimes
And here they come after me.

Assimilated beyond belief
Still not enough when I hit the streets
Hoodie up, you’re on my tail I see

He riles them up / when he speaks
Like a pack of wolves / that long to eat
Anyone that looks like me

Now tell me how

It was all in my head, they said, when I screamed beware
Yet here they come, after me.
I know I tow the line with my heart sometimes
So here they come, after me.
