Say hello to the Lord with my sincerest regards

Why the rise in the tide of troubled waters we cross

Into the fire and frost when the desire is lost

Is it survivor's remorse that raised higher the cost

During the year of the horse

I had so much to resolve, it hung me over

I was fearing the hair of the dog

They killed my homie, I was there when they carried him off

When we buried him, we wrapped him in Nigerian cloth

They told a story 'bout him having a malaria cough

They tried to say he had a weapon that was clearly a torch

I hold the fury so they fear me, but it nearly was washed

Expecting me to be forgiving like it really was, squashed

But I have seen so much that I can never be hushed

I've been the bearer of a burden that is heavy as f*ck

I'm pure legacy, incredibly, I'll never be touched

It ain't nowhere to go from here but up

Why must I feel so low to the ground

Low to the ground, low

Why does it feel so low to the ground, no

Oh

Seen it on the walls

I wanted to believe

Will it ever settle down, no

Don't know the answers

To all of the questions

I've never felt alone like this before

I've seen the culture decline while we were all in denial

And seen a murderer smile as he was brought into trial

I've watched a vulture circle awaiting the fall of a child

And canines devoured alive, the call of the wild

I couldn't accept the charge for the call of the void

Or for progress destroyed over Darwin and Freud

Survival totally could depend on the toss of a coin

Or upon which organization allowed you to join

I live on the borderline like a dishwater blonde

Or like Malcolm suiting up to head to the Audubon

I caught a vibe I would've taken as some sort of sign

Were I more aligned, but I was running so short of time

And I have felt so much that I am numb to the touch

When their assumptions make it hard for me to function, it's rough

'Cause every something I ever wanted was once in my clutch

So ain't nowhere to go from here but up

Why must I feel so low to the ground

Low to the ground, low

Why does it feel so low to the ground, no

Oh

Seen it on the walls

I wanted to believe

Will it ever settle down, no

Don't know the answers

To all of the questions

I've never felt alone like this before
