Deep thoughtful lyrics over melodic instrumentation produced by J. Rawls

lyrics

Verse 1:

Ayo, For sure For sure/
This life aint the same no....MORE/
who think I sang this song for/
just an advocate/an average kid/
living amongst diabolical savages/
and see a catalyst/
navigating/
the airwaves/
just make the demonstration/
a fair expression of
all who need a damn change/

raw force with lyrical skill/
of course I’m alive/
refuse to wait for a miracle still/

I gotta speak up and let the words
explore/
Cause everything I am aware of I got speak up for/

this aint that misogynist homophobic rap/
with the children chanting evil in he back/
this is a witness to the articulation of what we really lack/
while I spew these words I let you sort out the facts/

the spirit of 60’s/young’n know his history/
life is on a treadmill/this feels like the 50’s

ahead of my time/I’m still young dude/
so i stay on my grind/
progress is pain/
I’m just Malcolm’s Audubon

ballroom/
dancing to your call tunes/
life is like a long day without children watching they cartoons

you gotta issue on your hands/
but this is my journey/
you only get one chance//

Verse 2:
I saw it on the news flash/
the revolution is upon us/
better move fast/
they got you
ignoring the televised
my dude asked/
how you inform the ignorant?/
I told him truth last(truth is forever)
I got myself a new flask/
and I’m sharing the content/

see I broker wit/ poker chips/
feeling so emotionless/
thinking I”m supposed to get/
its nothing even close to this/
I’m rhyming for the people
and never for showmanship/
every day’s a struggle/
wander how BIG could notice this/
now I’m sorta nervous its/
to large for such a small man/
but I understand,if anyone I know that yall can/

lets regroup
and get it/
vivid/
how I would live it/
respect it cause I’m different/
life is long haul/
teach how to keep the kids in/
now longer try to fit in/
the Mbox my Logic bring the profit of heart and mind/
can’t let dollar sign/
treat us like columbine/

this most definite
is real/

jewish oppression/
the dude is impressive
I know/
but so suppressive
I’m expecting to blow/
I’m just a voice in crevices/
I’m the one the one, the one, the one!
