Pride and Emancipation

In the words of my father "Deceit walks among us" In the words of my brother "Self-preservation is above us" Alone in this instance Afloat in the moments To home in the distance Aurelius Aurelius Eyes realigned To signs Guiding sin Within confines Calls shudder and dwindle Stutter and stumble Through your prayer words Expecting you to say It's insidious Precarious Mindfully delirious So say your prayer words With a heavy "yes" Amen Amen Emancipation Emancipation From possession Aurelius Aurelius She's a Sophisticated lady Got the mind of a tiger Ready to get bloody Got plenty of steady levees There's plenty of deadly berries Try to poison and conspire Let the word of liars Run her world with desire But she's an Unsedated lady Uncomplicated, educated She knows where she stands As long as men have got her brand She ain't Thinking of stepping down 'Til she gets what she came for Claim more than her success Aim for more than her regrets Let them intimidate, harass No mind, no need They can't Fulfill her dreams for her She'll walk away happily Unworriedly about scrutiny Been long enough hanging around Can't hide what this world's about Can't shake her or break her She'll take you and awake you Stick your luck on a slate Ain't take this shit eternally Regretably, historically The odds are stacked against her Piling up trust of investors Make excuses for their successor Finger pointing to his handprints The defence of his influence Hold all their confidence in men They'll diminish her, her influence Like inequals like children Call her "sweetheart" and "honey" They made of cheap parts and money She got her street smarts outrunning They want her sweet tart, they thirsty Power hungry to their bones Leave the rest of her at home Their chrome stolen from her dome But she ain't finished Can't be diminished Relish in the ditches Cherish the stitches made from riches They can make her dance and sing Bring the sting to clip her wings Leeches count on her complying But they can't stop her from thinking This is the last of her walking On a leash made for controlling She got her eyes on one thing Shatter my dreams my reality And bet it all on one chance I still got the fight in me I'll build a world from my plans A romance of freedom Don't need nobody else To stand with me I'll take, I'll take My dying stance Aurelius Aurelius Eyes realigned To signs Guiding sin Within confines Calls shudder and dwindle Stutter and stumble Through your prayer words Expecting you to say It's insidious Precarious Mindfully delirious So say your prayer words With a heavy "yes" Amen Amen Emancipation Emancipation From possession Aurelius Aurelius
