Bdhe - Too Tall to Ride Lyrics

We know too much to back down now
We've gone too far, but can't explain how
All this other shit poppin' is just plain foul
I just wanna go out and speak to the crowd
Tryna get on but we too tall to ride
We know what to choose, fight or flight
So we gon' hit the booth every damn night
To speak the truth, all the ink we cried

They all look awake but they've closed their eyes
Ain't no more colonies but they still colonize
And act surprise when the voices rise
Be it inside or out, they don't care what its about
They'd rather stay blind then see the sign of the times
Nothing rarer than a ride or die
Claim hearts as our own that we vandalize
The sacrifice that underlies, paralyze and plagiarize
Try to rectify and satisfy the people they radicalize and terrorize
Until their thoughts synchronize or they ostracize and demonize
All the ones who dare think otherwise
Line up for the polls like they on death row
Line up and take roll but their souls been sold
Boast the biggest heart but their chests are holes
Middle of summer, never been so cold
Try to spit flames but choke on the ashes
I'm so hard on myself, But i don't get no passes
Hardships and pain, that's what the past is
Hope the future holds nothing but riches and green pastures

We know too much to back down now
We've gone too far, but can't explain how
All this other shit poppin' is just plain foul
I just wanna go out and speak to the crowd
Tryna get on but we too tall to ride
We know what to choose, fight or flight
So we gon' hit the booth every damn night
To speak the truth, all the ink we cried

Ain't limit to what love create
Takes a whole lot of mindfulness to appreciate
Don't let that dark cloud perpetuate
Elevate your thinking
Don't let your mind sink in
The noises
The voices in your head, that tell you you can't
The poison on the blade, Summons monsters instead
Bad Choices that you made, Got you one step ahead
The joy you wish you felt, is somewhere inside your brain
F*ck to the industry, All that shit bigotry
F*cking us Fiscally, Where is the liberty
Governement Rickety, Handled so miserably
Trying to see differently, Give me some Henessey
Tryna get ourselves Together, Tryna move it clever
I see our legacy being far greater, Far better
Our Identities being far stronger, All together
Temporarilly, Trying to fix shit up, Taking Measures
Punch everyone back to reality
I don't care if everyone gets mad at me
Y'all lost every sense of sensuality
Y'all have every thing but still cry and weep
I've seen people live in tents but still smile and cheer
Y'all living in stress, but it don't cohere
F*ck anyone who think that i live in fear
I'm wide awake and all the smoke finally cleared

We know too much to back down now
We've gone too far, but can't explain how
All this other shit poppin' is just plain foul
I just wanna go out and speak to the crowd
Tryna get on but we too tall to ride
We know what to choose, fight or flight
So we gon' hit the booth every damn night
To speak the truth, all the ink we cried
