(Intro) See, I wake up every morning man/ I check the news, first think I see is some one dead/ or somebody getting shot or some town burning/ I kind of got sick of it/ so, I thought I’d write a song about it/
(Chorus) I see these things everyday, it’s happening around my/ No, No, No!/ will we ever get sick and tired/ tired of waking up seeing who died/
(Verse)
I’m not woke I’m just a sight seeier/ a visionary in my class not a mind reader/ yeah! I walk the earth and visit many places/ I smiled a lot and rubbed my hands across so many faces/Fo’Sho, life’s ian imitation of past confrontations/ victory is lost and I already lost my patience/ maybe that path and a birth of a new nation/ cross pollination I’m sending sad salutations/ so, get your mind right time is back in the mirror/ the future looks young and bygone is another era/ population is purging/ no economic in splurging/ hate is on the plate/ Jim Crow and its re-insurgents/ I don’t know the truth but I know lying will never make it/ and they will never stop if you just sit back and take it/ we all want to break it/ some only seem to fake it/ it’s all about the money time for some compensation/ yeah!
(Chorus)
(Verse)
Open your eyes and see the world turning/ the new clash of the titans Poseidon is still burning/ we learning equal lust then maduessa turns us to dust/ in a world full of fear no body that we can trust/ I’m still hiding behind the mirror/ the future seems close but it’s far and a little clearer/ the murder rate increased but I just follow you on my Twitter/ blinded by the glitter/ the fruits of my labor seem bitter/ but I’m no quitter/ now where the people at/ holding the Grimm reaper back/ the pressure is the force that divides reverse and circles back/ a rare bread gorilla in the misses a true silver back/ Mighty Joe Young, Rampage on the attack/ in fact I persevere but I’m just slow to react/ every question is a clue from the forward to abstract/ I feel the impact /hold tight keep it intact/ I feel the pain so I just fade into the black/
(Chorus)
(Verse)
Dear lord can you save me from these complications/ teach me to hope, and how to love, and make some room for patients/ spread inspiration through these hard times/ moments of truth may burry you take a hard line/ it’s time to shine/ it’s yours light a fire like the dude from the Doors/ buy a crib down in Jersey take a walk on the shores/ we Moore’s kings and queens Prince Hikim with a dream/ it’s America so everything is not what it seems/ for a dub you get a knee leave you dead at the scene/ 8 shots the back paralyzed in your jeans/ that good trouble will have you murdered face down in the street/ it’s survival of the fittest ain’t no room for the weak/ thats deep say a prayer think of heaven when you sleep/ take a minute choose your words have compassion when you speak/ take the liberty to live cause all happiness is cheap/ cause it ain’t what it is when your cover with white sheets.
(Chorus)
(Kamilah) Like my Daddy said, stop the violence and kick the science.

The Prey

(Chorus) You struck the match and the fuse lit/ I’m tired of the lies and the bullshit/ I go hard and I can’t quit/ I won’t stand and I won’t sit/ I toke a knee for America/ I served some died for America/the land of the slaves and the brave/ they on the hunt and were the prey
(Verse) Ready for the war with a full clip yeah I’m pissed, and I’m mad as fuck/ no more peace, no more justice, no more lies I’m disgusted/ there go the store just bust in/ 10 more dudes they just rushed in/ this ain’t the land of the free/ the home of the brave don’t give a damn about me. Yo! I ain’t right but they wrong/ and they just fuel for this song/ they want to kill black folk til we gone/ another church another black man mourned/ Reverend Al how you deal with this shit/ black lives matter but the cops never quit/march in the street but it still don’t fit/ let’s do it for the hood and my young little Jits yeah!
(Chorus)
(Verse) Dark days Dark nights, I know it’s getting hard but we still gotta fight/ I can see the tunnel at the end there’s a light/ try to separate but we still Trump right/ divided they conquer / they woke up this monster/ they want us to fall to our knees but we stronger/ the fruit is not strange it just changed to a hunger for justice and peace/ we just want to eat live and be prosperous no riots, no cop killers, gangsters,and drug dealers when will it cease/ we only see victory never defeat/ they will not win cause we are not weak/ The freedom is speech from Brooklyn to Cali, London, Atlanta, Miami south beach/ revolution is televised we in the street/ corona can’t stop us cause we can’t be beat!
(Chorus)
(Verse) Too much blood in the street/he crying for his mama and was murdered with a knee/3/5 of a man united we stand/ qualified immunity remember Sandra Bland/ three k,s in America the home of the Clan/ you know what the plan is/ no hope no advantage/ the seed has been planted/ your wish is not granted/ I think you should panic/ we manic, we frantic/ resolution is amplified, you have been ill advised/no justice no peace accept your defeat/ I’m black and proud come kneel at my feet/ we King’s and we queens there is no retreat/ we here and we ready/ we faster then Eddie / toss you like spaghetti / you sad and you petty/ so unnecessary/ I rock and I’m steady/ we woke and we deadly/ Sincere and this Belly/

The Letter

I converse with demon and dream of an afterlife/ where God and the devil fight for a glimpse at heavens light/ when the stars bright deep in the moonlight there goes my plight/hold my soul tight repent pray I can make it through the night/ when it’s over bloody battlefields laced with green clovers/ where Lady Luck presides and collides with super novas/ now the alt-right is a outright resurgence of white might/ where clan members rock Armani slacks and kill kikes/ burn tiki torches call blacks niggas in Bart bright/ now the enemy of the people is the media/ is it nationalism or white privilege that that be leading them/ cynicism thats feeding them/ diversities the root cause /neo-nazis like puppets misinterpret the laws/ run for the border army’s of caravans await the slaughter/ In this new order can’t no body make it through/ alter your timeline now sip the bitches brew
Yo! I see your fear through an atmosphere of disturbance/ virtual incapacity with no chance for convergence / my version inconspicuous I still keep it meticulous/ populace in its stimulus/ hatred always continuous/ giving them something they can feel but not paraplegic/ collegiate in every single thought methodically strategic/ I know the ledge through the perforated edge of a mead binder/ chronicle every word from my pen like meat grinders/ I see the world through clear cut diamonds/ you see through blinders/ my skin and every confederate flag is a reminder/ that everything I ever achieved somebody lied for/ And ever single door I walked somebody died for/ no sad stories only said sentiments of reprieve/ O, what a tangled web they weave when America deceives/ so now I leave you with a few thoughts and one word/ you can never escape the past if your future lines are blurred.

Heaven (Mama Said)

My Mama said always do for yourself trust God/ cause you ain’t living for nobody else/ yeah! Mama said never bit your nose off to spite your face thinking it might give you grace/ never, leave your hat on the bed cause it might bring you bad luck, never trade your soul for a buck/ Mama said keep your head to the sky/ cause we all just want to go heaven when we die/ Mama said treat your lady good/ how would you feel if your sister name got drug through the hood/ Mama said love your kids/ but a hard head make a soar ass/ guess it is what it is man/ my mama said close your mouth and open your ears/ she ain’t really for you/that chick ain’t worth none of your tears/ my mama said let it go/ you so much better than that/ don’t miss a blessings just open the door/ Mama said don’t be stupid son/ an empty wagon makes a lot of noise stand tall and never run/ don’t be a glutton for punishment she said/ I wish I would’ve listen when she was here my Mama Said
(Second Verse)
I didn’t understand sometimes, that a faithful man can undermined his on peace of mind/ we living on borrowed time, we ain’t promised tomorrow/ mama said have faith and don’t drown in your sorrows/ my mama said believe them the first time when they show you who they are/ they hate to see you shine when you’re a star/ my mama said when you see crazy coming cross the street/ and you should never shit where you sleep/ my Mama said leave the past in the past/ and when you through away the garbage don’t go digging in the trash/ my Mama said stop being dumb/ don’t wear your heart on your sleeve/ keep your business to yourself son/ my Mama said they ain’t your friends/ they only here when it’s good, when it’s bad they gone in the wind/ My Mama said keep your dreams in your sight/ you can be what you want to be it could happen over night/ she said believe in yourself/ you can do bad all by lonesome you don’t need nobody’s help/ don’t play a fool for women my mama said/ I’m glade I stop to listen when she was here my Mama said
