Red Veil by Tier On3 Lyrics
Verse 1-
Grew up on a street behind my school
Everyday was a lesson ditching to be cool
Climb in my treehouse lay back and dream of every jewel
(Dad) pops ain't present but gifted with one to tell my view
Poor old jake a smart ass that born to make mistakes
Above my class in 1st grade but my home life wasn't great
Someone's out the picture he got framed when I was 8
Mug shot on the news as the tears run down my face
I can't believe he's gone, can't believe he ditched
Ain't seen him for a year till on the T.V. switch
Waiting for rekindlement of me and my sis
Eyes are watery like i rolled some weed and hit it
Momma paying bills with her credit cards
Making ends meet yeah still paying off a debt that's large
Tryna make a break like the water out that reservoir
What could I have done as just a kid with seven deadly scars
Damn
Chorus 1-x2
Living behind that red veil x2
Tryna make it out man I'm tryna make it out
But i can't behind that Red Veil
What you gon do when you living like this
What you gon do when you're feeling like shit
What you gon do when your breathing in hits
Trying to escape but Lucy's hand is keeping its grip woah
Verse 2-
One day I was walking to my school
Noticed a gate open and tried to figure out who's
Got there early thinking to myself of what to do
A Labrador came sprinting in the gates it was that dudes
I loved animals I went to comfort him with touching
A feeling up inside me wants to keep him, feed, love him
But animal control snatched him up it and pressed my buttons
I knew the dogs owner but they basically said suck it
That same day at school an episode so tragic happened
Went up on the campus didn't know what he was packing
Exposed what was under his cloak holding automatics
They whipped out in both of his hands like a G6 lapping
Evacuated out the bathroom I was so confused
Didn't know what to do all the doors were locked
Sprinted to the playground & I hid inside the slide
Hoping my head don't come into contact with a shot
My hearts pumping scared to death Ironic near it now
What was that noise yo I think I heard a sound
Is that the 5-0 weight releases off my crown
Started to get curious I peeked and looked around
Hand cuffs on the bastard that tried to shoot the school down
The first event that triggered my emotions to write down
First it was alternative but then i switched around
Found an alternative look where I am now
I've been chasing for them stars homie that's a high reach
But it changes you when your ears take in them sirens
Now I have a goal for everyone to find peace
Instead of copping one to take with when you're riding
I hope you comprehend every word i speak
You can light trees, try speed, pipe clean
But it doesn't offer you the same effect when I preach
This is life on 20th Ave. that's my street
(Solo)
Verse 3-
The office called me down to come and chat
Thought I was in trouble i was sent to go home fast
Had to walk home red and blue at the end of the road
So petrified I ran so fast that my shoes had holes
A crime scene of a robbery my feet were so cold
Too bad all the julery was fake because we're broke
A few days after heard a rumor about some provoked
Kids with no reason to, pull out keys and acted like a rogue
My friends back is scared for life and bleeding bad for what
Because his skin is lighter than yours I'm so thunder struck
You were like my brother couldn't stand that you were cut
But I was cut too I'd trade your pain for free of bucks
Money can't buy happiness but it can ease it up
Is happiness even a word, deaf to definitions please
It defines what this culture needs to fix it up
Dip streets of Maryland in Crisco so we can be free
Outro-
So we can be free yeah
So we can be free
So we can be free yeah
So we can be free
Lord please
So we can be free yeah
So we can be free
