Blackbird by Carlos Pineda

Music, lyrics, and vocals by Carlos Pineda

Meet Artist

Chopper singing
Blackbird in the night It’s beaming
Light down they just watch us bleeding
Lord knows, are they angels or demons?
Entertained?
Cuz the news was streaming
To make profit
Negative feeding
To the youth
Fuck this I’m leaving
That’s why I walk the path I’m leading

This is the path that I walk on
Got a sword on my back that was passed on
Through generations of men who are now gone
From the earth
Now the clouds where they sit on
If you start it, don’t finish till it’s done
C.E.P. Boy, I’m the 3rd one
Imma make them all proud just listen
Where I’m from, snatch your life under the sun
Now my soul light shining in rays
Won’t be surprised if this doesn’t get played
I’ve been working in my room for days
All alone, sometimes I go crazy
Like my dad did back in the 80’s
Thank God every day it saved me
Saw your courage that shit done changed me
Turn a frown into smile shoutout JP
I gave the truth, but he did it don’t pay me
Broke the cycle, the chain we’re changing
Now we’re starting again, rearranging
This my fucking life I ain’t playing

Always knew they would need it
Always knew that I’d be it
Even when they couldn’t see it
Now they all believe it

I can hear the chopper singing
Blackbird in the night It’s beaming
Light down they just watch us bleeding
Lord knows, are they angels or demons?
Entertained?
Cuz the news was streaming
To make profit
Negative feeding
To the youth
Fuck this I’m leaving
That’s why I walk the path I’m leading

So just stick to the code
Let’s unite all our people and stoke
What was burning inside us is hope
All the years, they took this as a joke
Learned this music from my older bro
He taught me if I feel it unload
If you water a tree, it’ll grow
My destiny calling the story foretold
The beats so knocking make the soil erode
Got brought to my knees
The plan was bestowed
God gave me life this the least that owe
My body’s a vessel, a lease that’ll go
Only thing that’ll last is my spirit and soul
I think bout the past then I let that shit go
If you follow your heart, then your eyes could be closed
The pulse is the pathway let it be known
Thank you, Adam I couldn’t do it alone
Just like Aladdin, the sky where I roam
Won’t fight for no country, the earth is my home
11 years down, a lifetime to go

Always knew they would need it
Always knew that I’d be it
Even when they couldn’t see it
Now they all believe it

Now we hear the chopper singing
Blackbird in the night It’s beaming
Light down they’re just watching us bleeding
Lord knows if they’re angels or demons
Entertained?
Cuz the news was streaming
To make profit
Negative feeding
To the youth
Fuck this I’m leaving
That’s why I walk the path I’m leading
