Keeping Score Lyrics by BLACKSTARKIDS

Let’s Play Sports

2019

[Verse]
I'm a BLACKSTARKID who's dreaming
They hit me for no reason
Hear me cuz I'm speaking
My people on the come up
And I believe in a world without no tension
We shining like a beacon

By we, I mean the peoples who's skin don't glow, won't see no wrinkles
You're daughter wanna be my best friend
And she wanna date my boyfriend
I hold my hands up
Can't keep me down
Watching these BLACKSTARKIDS get a touchdown

[Chorus]
I'm sorry for the tension, my friend
I guess I shouldn't keep score
I know we'll never win in the end
I guess that I wanted more

I'm sorry for the tension, my friend
I guess I shouldn't keep score
I know we'll never win in the end
I guess that I wanted more

[Verse]
I held my connection too close
We can't fix the bond, it's too broke
I look for a dream that was slow
Resentment, the way that we cope
You spend your whole life on the ropes
And they just treat you like a good nigga
If you cut all ties like you should with them
You look like you're below Hitler

I treated the hate like a home
They made everything that we know
They made this rough clothing in gold
But I'll still trade that for my soul
I learn everything that I know
Locations where I feel alone
No longer get treated like homes
So I don't feel cold when I keep score

[Chorus]
I'm sorry for the tension, my friend
I guess I shouldn't keep score
I know we'll never win in the end
I guess that I wanted more

I'm sorry for the tension, my friend
I guess I shouldn't keep score
I know we'll never win in the end
I guess that I wanted more

[Outro]
YAY!
