This Bitter Land 歌詞
This Bitter Land - Nas/Erykah Badu (艾瑞卡·巴度)
Written by：Jongnic Bontemps/Nasir Jones/Erykah Badu/Steven Caple
This bitter land
Watered with my soul
The fruit it bears
Leaves me so cold
This bitter land
Does nothing for love
This bitter land
Brings pain from above oh
Running on the concrete across the train tracks
The devil is behind me
In the ghetto where's you'll find me
It's where I stays at
Cop shot us up he get a medal then retire
But it never will define me
Write a letter to the president
Whoever in control of the society
Tell 'em stop riding me
Stop driving us into a suicidal ideology
Tryna feed my seeds
Getting high on w**d study my degrees
Stay fly getting paper
With some dead white people faces
In the circle of spaces around the green
I'm lean taking percs as a bit of earth
Is a ni**a cursed am I blessed see what I mean
It's a test life is a test
Life is like a hood hard
Trying not to fall between the cracks
In the cracks it's so dark and the dark
Seems more appealing than the light in the land
Where you gotta fight
Catch a body in the night we need a plan
To survive to survive the land
Survive the storm when it comes through
Either you're busy living or busy dying
Look what it's come to
Look what it's come to so what you're gonna do
This bitter land is far too real
This bitter land it does not heal
Cause in the land skies are grey
But we fight the storms that come our way
A boy who strives to be a man
Must push to lead with all he can
Oh this bitter land
Oh bitter land
Oh oh oh oooh
This bitter land can't stop my fight
This bitter land
Look what it's come to
And I so what you gonna do
What you gonna do
My land
