pull the thorn from the skin
ain’t got no protection
lock down lock it up
lock up lock it down
pull the thorn from the sin
ain’t got no protection
lock down lock it up lock up lock it down
pull the thorn from the skin
ain’t got no direction
shut down shut it up
shut up shut it down
don’t need to question
these are the answers
here is the light
this is the real
we have all you need and we need you too
blood isn’t matter
blood isn’t matter
blood isn’t matter
and if it was, what would it matter
pull the thorn from the sin
ain’t got no protection
shut down shut it up
shut up shut it down
pull the thorn from the skin
ain’t got no direction
they lock down lock it up lock up lock it down
you don’t need to question
these are the answers
here is the light
this is the real
we have all you need and we need you to
blood isn’t matter
lock it down
