The Elephant Man Lyrics

Walk around like I got a target on my back

See the color of our skin?

See the colors on my flag?

How am I supposed to be an optimist

When my government wants to put people like me in camps like Auschwitz

Fuck getting political imma just be cynical

I'm hot off the press like a Skittles kid just turned invisible

It's difficult to understand motivation of Zimmerman

Tell me George how is ice tea threatening?

We were from the state

Trayvon's from the same place

We Damn near the same age

Such an innocent face

If I cant feel safe in my own home

I'm move out to a new zone

On the road to Orlando

Poof Pulse gone

No Where to Go!

I'm

Im terrified I'll never leave the barrio

Fuckin social prison

Black hole

Count all the bodies up

Pride is all we really got

But pride might be our doom

Why did 17 people die inside their classroom

I feel trapped in my head fighting my anxiety

Papi passing tryin me

Lil sister eyeing me

Im supposed to be a role model to these kids

But if I cant speak for myself how can I speak for them

This record's for the kids who don't know how to love themselves

Go to concerts by themselves

Do everything by themselves

But

I saw God in the seventh grade

She told me

Nobody cares about you

Go get your money made

Now Go!

Attitudes what no one says you need to go far

So even when no one else will treat yourself like a Popstar!

Met you in the summer

Your pretty face

Made me question everything

Im not the same

Man that I used to be

You say people should be saved

Bow your head and pray

Now is God listening

Read a book to feel a way

He just passed the other day

Everybody bleeds the same

Mutual feelings

But the timing isnt right

I dont want you to leave me

But you dont own my life

Tell me what I am

Tell me what I'm not

You dont know me

And you never did

And you never will

I burn bridges

Quicker than the Roman Empire did

Cut off so many friends

My Reckless behavior it dont seem to end

Scared of

Everything

I guess i am

My sister said it best she said

Im the hard shell of a man whos so sweet and caring

But I hide behind a rude facade

Like a siren

Loud and blaring

So why do I stay

With nobody here, can I communicate

But myaybe I should stick around

Live a normal life

Marry someone in a gown

But thats not me

Bisexual sure but gay as can be and

The voices are telling me to let go

Am i lying to myself or the me I once knew

Its a struggle in my head cause i love you

And I dont wanna lose

I should drive off with the windows down

Let go of the steering wheel and turn the music loud

I would feel like I'm safe and sound

Close my eyes and wait to hit the ground

I could jump off the roof and not make a sound

I could dissapear poof!

And no one would wait around and look around for me

Im not a popstar

I am nobody and nobodys fine

Im not nico raimont

Is it better to speak than to die?
