Nico Raimont - 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

F*ck 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
F*ckin 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?
