Blasphemy Lyrics

I've been called so many times now

I've been called the N word

I've been called all sorts

The worst thing is

People who have not been there

Well they, they wouldn't

They wouldn't understand

They wouldn't get it

How hard it is for us

How hard

Because these kids, when they go home

Miss said this, Is that the the black ni-

They're children, they don't know any better

They're children, they don't know any better

That's the worst thing about it

When you have got somebody there

Who cannot actually stick up for you

They're thinking that you're using your colour

For some sort of, I don't know what

Yeah, because there's no one to stick up for you

You're on your own

You're on your own

No, he's being horrible to me

Because of my colour

Why are you not sticking up for me?

Why are you not sticking up for me?

I got a noose around me

Tightening with every moment of silence

I need a licence to kill

So I can feel myself

Double o serving time

looking in mirrors I find

A moving tongue that's tied

A soul that ain't alive

I find reflection unknown

I find a section of hope I lost

How do I know I'm not

A piece of puzzle

Thought I was one in a dozen

Blasphemy

I start to see how that define me

Mistaken identity

Who can I call relating to x

They got gunners on call

Our name on their board

Hide in applause aim when I tour

So I cannot talk or walk

Without living a lie

Beginning to lose my mind

A piece at a time

A piece at a time

Repeat, this a sign of an era

Please lend me your ear so I

Can explain and say

How often I've looked down

The sights of a blind eye

Starting to be reminded I

Was forced to let myself die

People around allowed imagine I

Protest, my family would be next

Inside the storm begin to vex

Subdued so I survive school

Motif silently manifest

I crept in the crypt

Of the demons

Returned with only one feeling

Only one feeling

They're dead to me

Shooters gunna get em

With the loadout

Automatic type with my words

Better hold out

Automatic praying when they hear

Try shoot back

Heat seeking gone miss, I got a cold heart

That a known fact better fall back

Come across me again, you best flee

You done pushed too far

You ain't nothing to me

may I remind that you're dead to me

In my heart lies the true recipe

Unlock it through writing, it therapy

Centuries passed finally asked

Why do I hide my validity

Why do I hide my validity

Blasphemy

Sneak up in your blind spot

Do it for survival

Gotta look both ways

When you speak a mouthful

Turn a blind eye you gon get hit eventually

Don't think I forgot what you did

You're dead to me

Sneak up in your blind spot

Do it for survival

Gotta look both ways

When you speak a mouthful

Turn a blind eye you gon get hit eventually

Don't think I forgot what you did

You're dead to me

Blind spot I'm living

I claim to clear your vision

Who am I to say it

Inside my hands is gods decision

I listen to myself only

Don't need no one else, they phony

Everybody already don told me

I need help, but this me truly

A new leaf that I gon turn

A new man's gunna be birthed

If you knew me then

Best come and get acquainted

Or faded wipe a brother nose

If he come test the best

Best believe I'll go against the rest

But If I don't reply, understand

It's cause I don't play with the dead

Test me but I do not recommend

Tested since birth cause of melanin

11 years in I been running since

To dodge the warden

My mam sent the warnings

I was too busy adoring girls, fame

Trying to impress plain Janes

Trying to live on the same plane

As my peers

But now my vision clear

I'm a stranger to fear it's dead to me

Old self, now is offending me

It be an enemy failing appeal

Shooters gunna get em

With the loadout

Automatic type with my words

Better hold out

Automatic praying when they hear

Try shoot back

Heat seeking gone miss, I got a cold heart

That a known fact better fall back

Come across me again, you best flee

You done pushed too far

You ain't nothing to me

May I remind that you're dead to me

In my heart lies the true recipe

Unlock it through writing, its therapy

Centuries passed finally asked

Why do hide my validity

Blasphemy

Sneak up in your blind spot

Do it for survival

Gotta look both ways

When you speak a mouthful

Turn a blind eye you gon get hit eventually

Don't think I forgot what you did

You're dead to me

Dead to me

Dead to me

I got a noose around me

Tightening with every moment of silence

I need a licence to kill

So I can feel myself

Double o serving time

looking in mirrors I find

A moving tongue that's tied

A soul that ain't alive

I find reflection unknown

I find a section of hope I lost

How do I know I'm not

A piece of puzzle

Thought I was one in a dozen

Blasphemy

I start to see how that define me

In my heart lies the true recipe

Unlock it through writing, it therapy

Centuries passed finally asked

Why do hide my validity

Blasphemy
