ECHOES IN THE DIRT
[Verse 1]
Echoes in the dirt
We know they were here first
But still gave 'em all the work, and buried 'em in the earth
And that gave birth to a legacy full of hurt
And we ain't even care about it, they call 'em reservations
But they didn't have no reservations
When they went and found this nation
And they killed this nation
In the name of salvation
Break a tiny piece of land off and then give it to 'em
Saying "Welcome to your home"
Then kill all the chiefs and the innocents
And those who wouldn't listen, then
It's bye bye to their throne
I been feeling lone for a couple months
Know my life ain't getting better, no
I'm not growing in my faith just like I thought I would
God's tears are getting wetter
[Chorus: dreablu]
[Verse 2]
Echoes in the dirt
I got blood all on my shirt
Sitting on the curb wondering what's worse?
I'm such an introvert
I can't talk to people first, that's a blessing and a curse
Mainly curse, and I curse at my best friend
But somehow he still here
I haven't learned none of God's lessons
But somehow He still here
[Bridge: dreablu]
[Verse 3]
Get off my back
I'm sorry, we been through a lot, I still get like that
I mean, I don't know too much
But I seen heaven on the bus
In the eyes of a little boy
