lyrics

Burn Dem ~ Bleed Dem ~ Babylon A Demon
Down Press the Humble Man and Uplift the Heathen
I see the Youts dem a Misleadin
Said Them Rhyme no Reason
Freedem Freedem Freedem
Me chant a Freedem
Rhyme with no Reason

A yo I'm stressin out can't even define what I'm depressed about
This voice inside my head is tellin me I'm on a lesser route
Teacher's on my nerves seems everyday she tryin to test me out
No refuge on the court cause all my coach he do is flex his mouth
And he ain't even played this game before
Simply sabotagin my stage to soar
Damn it my wings are sore ~ From being caged and clawed
While my Pop's is trying to make a man of me and I hate him for it
They tell me praise the Lord ~ That's empty rhetoric
Marx said religion is the opium ~ The sedative
And I don't even care to live
A universal narrative
Start to think that hell might be Heaven compared to this
I'm at a age where I'm wise beyond my days
But I'm forced to fit the system so I'm driftin off in Haze
Twisted up and Blazed ~ While I'm lifted out the maze
It's my birthright I chose this but I'd wish it all away

We come from Shattered homes ~ Nappy Domes
Teeth are broken ~ Half a comb
Battered Mom's ~ Dad's are Gone ~ Joker like I laugh alone
Shadows overcomin me ~ Rug snatched out from under me
Patted at the door cause Momma think I got the gun on me
And no one's ever seen me like this
God Damn's and Jesus Christ's (Crisis)
All my life I've played along despite the mental poltergeises
And I wonder my classmates and I appear lifeless
Is this what you laid out ~ Is this perfection
How in your right mind can you lead in wrong direction
Claim it's for protection when you haul us to correction
Meanwhile the real crooks are ballin off elections
And you ain't gettin my vote my mind
My Soul my time my hope my shine
I'm from a lineage of Bold not Blind
And we nah limit to your borderline

I could drown in a puddle of my own self pity
Miss my City ~ Everyday's Shitty
Got me stranded in the country out here where none of dem get me
Really ~ Miss my City
I'm chained to the classroom Stayin in the Bathroom
Longer than I need to Just to avoid D'evils
On the brink of paintin a classic til they stole the easel
In Babylon they don't murder you ~ The slowly bleed you
Taken from the home at 5 ~ Disciplined when showin Life
Force fed fables til they able to control ya mind
How am I supposed to shine ~ When everyday there's souljahs dyin
And not the one's wit weapons but who reppin with they own design
I'm an architect only lackin mentorship
Middle passage left the ship
Return to master well equipped to snatch the whip
Since elementary my only problem was the lip
Dunce I decorated it with Poems Prose and Sacred Scripts
