Lyrics

[Intro]
I took a drive today
Time to emancipate
[Verse 1]
I guess it was the beatings
Made me wise
But I'm not about to give thanks
Or apologize
[Chorus]
I couldn't breathe
Holdin' me down
Hand on my face
Pushed to the ground
Enmity gauged
United by fear
Forced to endure
What I could not forgive
[Verse 2]
I seem to look away
The wounds in the mirror waved
[Verse 3]
It wasn't my surface
Most defiled
[Chorus]
Head at your feet
Fool to your crown
Fist on my plate
Swallowed it down
Enmity gauged
United by fear
Tried to endure
What I could not forgive, yeah
[Bridge]
Saw things
Saw things
Saw things
Saw things
Clearer
Clearer
Once you were in my
Rear-view mirror
[Verse 4]
I gather speed from you fucking with me
Once and for all
I'm far away
I hardly believe
Finally, the shades are raised
Hey, yeah
[Outro]
Saw things so much clearer (Once you, once you)
Rear-view mirror
Saw things so much clearer (Once you, once you)
Rear-view mirror
Saw things so much clearer (Once you, once you)
Rear-view mirror
Saw things so much clearer (Once you)
Oh, yeah
