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
