Lyrics:
to offend, to oppress, to despoil, to plunder, to assassinate or enslave ones Fellowman
Is ordinarily regarded as a crime
In public life on the other hand,
IT CROSSED MY MIND JUST THE OTHER DAY, THE WORDS FROM MY DADDYO
LISTEN BOY YOU GOTTA STUDY THEM FIGURES, PICK THE PATH YOU WANNA GO
DO YOU WANNA
meant for forever
I really thought my heart would be safe in your hands
Lorelei
My ship has passed you by
And though you promised me to show the way
position # 1 for 3 weeks in 1975
-Words and Music by Curtis Mayfield, Calvin Carter, and Jerry Butler
-charted in 1960 at # 7 as "He Will Break Your
in the air, guilty by Gucci
(You smell me?) C' loan money to a bank, but still didn't freeze
(Not stopping) Sat In a room with DTs, picture it, we
a pinch of coke
Listen tho' I'm missing dough I gotta gather mo'
Hell no, dead blocks with red tops but now a nigga sell words
For all my young thugs in
with red tops but now a nigga sell words
For all my young thugs in jail in Jerz
They made it hell 4 a hustler, I bails high as fuck son
Dyin' luck
it?
We're too damn much for your defense break you down, zone weakens
Words bring embarrassment, Captains look like third string in comparison
By the ocean I sat down one day
Saw my life the other way
All those trials to no avail
Broken dreams was all I gained
Well, when I was a child
They
No doubt the pow-wow's as loud as the mouth of a shapeshifter
Cuz I orate in more shades than portraits by Monét, I paint pictures with the slang
even if your mind's not so open
Some people don't believe in anything, no matter what they can see wavin'
Other people will buy into everything, 'cause
We're quick to let words fly without a thought
Let consequences lie in other's hearts
We're educated by the aftershock
It's easier to believe
Until I asked my father, ‘Please can we go back?
‘I hate this school I’m in – I’ve never felt so trapped.
‘And the other children do nothing but judge me;
Sacrificial lamb led to slaughter by God's hand (woo)
Can I get a God damn? (god damn)
So much pain in my time span it's fucking up my mind man (losing it)
or even living
Don't come cheap everything cost something
You're living in a world where you gotta be 3 steps ahead to be 1 step ahead
1 to be down
2
And I spoke to god the other day and he told me I'm qualified to preach
Used to have the waves in my head shit maybe we could slide to the beach
that
Ain't enough
You're gonna live these words I said
She's the type of girl all the other boys
Want to know
She looks good but you know it's all
life is the proof you can take it or leave it
Don't be deceived by a gospel perversion
Your actions will be proof of a conversion
A mist in the air
through Sunday
Blood of the Lamb through the runway
Saved by grace not myself
AHAYAH knows we need help
Don't get caught up in wealth
The word of God can
(Uh-huh, yeah)
There's madness in this world
Check me out, I ain't stressin'
(Word)
Knowledge is the key
Joy and peace, the essence
(True that)
Do unto
madness in this world, check me out, I ain't stressin' (Word)
Knowledge is the key, joy and peace, the essence (True that)
Do unto others, don't
We're born in jail, awaiting trial
Not a word to know what we're after
Human conscience's so proud of no dare
Subdued and enthralled by its own eyes
suffering
But I, hold on to everything
That passed you by
Every word that's said in vain
Tearing at my skin
Scars and memories - oh
I remember everything -
The other side
A lifetime of mourning inside of me
Rising so high I can barely breathe
Purpose replaced with doubt
Blinded by the thought
