Radus - To My Fellow Slaves Lyrics

We be gettin' blind
Just to get a degree
'Cause they say essays are the way to succeed
But it ain't for everybody
Academically speakin'
Exceedin' my limits is when I start to
Feel what I'm feelin' up in the brain
My thoughts ain't the same
I'm tryna
Ride with it got me caught in flames
I'm stuck in shame
Ain't no other way around it
I can't get rid of my thoughts so I just write 'em in my flows
All that people see is below
But really
I don't show I'm just keepin' it low
Up in the memory
No one's there but me
'Cause nobody cares if I'm dyin' mentally
Especially today, no one pays attention
When life hits hard, it becomes depressing
I'm stressin'
I'm feelin' like there's no escape
So I inhale and I blow
Before I go insane

Would you ride with me
Would you fly with me
Would you die for me

To my fellow slaves
No I won't behave
Until we're all free

I'm back but not better
I'm feelin' the pressure
'Cause I got fellas countin' on me to accomplish endeavors
I don't belong here
I ain't no good at these tests
But I promised my parents that I would invest my best
I got a request
I'm passionately obsessed
With sounds comin' through my ears
And the skills I possess
With the talents I'm blessed with
With the world I connect
'Cause to the people around I'm tryna be an effect
Tryna make an impact
Here to spit facts
It's gettin' sad that people keep talking but don't act
Have you thought about this
'Cause I have to admit
All that people do nowadays is tweet about it

All the
Mass murders or corrupt workers
Some just want the likes and some further
It ain't genuine
No good intentions
Seems like all that people want is attention
So now I ask

Yo

Would you ride with me
Would you fly with me
Would you die for me

To my fellow slaves
No I won't behave
Until we're all free

Yeah
No no
Yeah

I've never witnessed peace
I wonder would it feel like victory
'Cause everybody too weak to see
Too weak to change
Too weak to accept and then results in rage
And now we're all en-caged
All stuck in the violence
My ears hear loud, never heard the silence
The sirens keep ringin'
Just close the doors
Too much happenin' around
No one cares no more
Oh let the kids explore

Give 'em a chance, leave 'em something behind
Grow a heart, leave 'em out of our crimes
Nevertheless all I wish for the prime
Is that I hope their world
Won't be worse than mine

Would you ride with me
Would you fly with me
Would you die for me

To my fellow slaves
No I won't behave
Until we're all free

Would you ride with me
Would you fly with me
Would you die for me

To my fellow slaves
No I won't behave
Until we're all free
