All I've ever cared about it is that the truth is told On the road, all I ever do is tell people be bold But now, it always seems as though I'm trying to defend All these people want to do is cut me down I'll never win Shut them up! Put them down! Their lies will bring us all down All I do is shake my head and keep my mind from the sound Harness all the energy I can draw within Tryin' to tell my people that the lies they tell themselves their sin Go to bed at night with no bed my head to lay on Wake up in the morning and the song's got to play on People follow me everywhere that I will go Touchin' and pullin' on me I got nothing else to show I want you to walk with me, walk five thousand miles I want you to stay with me, please stay for a while I want you to feel my pain, feel just what it's like I want you to know this life, see it with my eyes Everywhere I go I see injustice all around People bound, people sick, lying on the ground How come I'm the only one that's called to do this I can't be the only one that's called to do this Go to bed at night with no bed my head to lay on Wake up in the morning and the song's got to play on People follow me everywhere that I will go Touchin' and pullin' on me I got nothing else to show I want you to walk with me, walk five thousand miles I want you to stay with me, please stay for a while I want you to feel my pain, feel just what it's like I want you to know this life, see it with my eyes Little do they know that they'll betray me when its over I can't stop, I can't think about my life when I am older I'll be killed by their hatred at the hands of the state By the time that they realize it's already sealed my fate Hold tight to what you know and know its true to the end But, some of y'all gonna cash it in for dollars to spend Some of y'all will be broken and your life will be spent Just know that thru it all I'll be there till the end In solitude I try to find the strength from above But all I keep on hearing give your life out of love They drag me right before a judge questioning me Caring nothing for the truth just how to use me Crowds scream my name, their hatred all aflame Kill this one! They've caused us nothing but shame All because I spoke truth and they didn't want to hear it Deconstructing all their lies, their response was to fear it I want you to walk with me, walk five thousand miles I want you to stay with me, please stay for a while I want you to feel my pain, feel just what it's like I want you to know this life, see it with my eyes Do you know what its like to look into the face Of your killers have to feel nothing but love and grace Trumped up charges bring trumped up people Their words are mighty but their spirit is feeble Diggin' through their closets bringing bones out to light But they don't want to hear me cause the truth is way too bright Instead they plot and scheme of a way to try and kill me Shoot the messenger and then the people will never hear me I want you to walk with me, walk five thousand miles I want you to stay with me, please stay for a while I want you to feel my pain, feel just what it's like I want you to know this life, see it with my eyes Go to bed at night with no bed my head to lay on Wake up in the morning and the song's got to play on People follow me everywhere that I will go Touchin' and pullin' on me I got nothing else to show And Jesus said unto them Foxes have their dens and birds have their nests But the child of the humans has nowhere to lay their head Jesus was Black Lives Matter
