Heaven, is there a chance that you could come down. and open doors to hurtin people like me. People like me (4x). . Is it fair to say that I am stressing out.
Simple as it feels right now. With you right now right here right now. It took all this time all this time all this time. They say I came a long way and they don't mean em took the subway.
I spy with my little eye. A murderer, a murderer. So long the ratchet in the streets. You never heard of her, streets you never heard of her. These are the people who are trying hard to slip over, tryin' hard to slip over.
[Verse 1:]. Uh, someone called the cops on him. Someone told his pops on him. He was talking crooked and he had some rocks on him. Tucked, tucked in his socks' corner.
[Chorus:]. Turn the light off. It's a light on in your heart. So let it be your guidance, guidance. Open your mouth if you would say. Could be more beautiful than silence, silence.
Getting shot is easy tried it 7 times Now im just a solo poet workin on my rhymes Killer used to think he was wise to the system Prince of the street allways do things his way but he had a case of conventional wisdom never say nothin the others dont say Threat of dawn that wakes the east to the cry My souls unfolding Oh God on man Livin high at last suckin the tit milk of prayer and fast Man gave the news in a slanted room and it felt like a sliver of icey truth Felt my sad ass soul.
I don't wanna be left. In this war tonight. Am I alone in this fight?. Is anybody out there?. Don't wanna be left left in this world behind. Say you'll run to my side.
YEOW!. . SO!. . In the beginning. there was a hum. from a poet whose pulse fell. DRUM DRUM DRUM!. . He would perform prayers and all. till one day he heard a voice call.
So good things come to those who wait. Sure, I've waited about pop-pop-pop-pop. That's four cousins shot!. I got grudges, let's discuss this, my music needs no touch ups.
Set to high. Now calling all revolutionary youth. Dam Marley alongside K'naan. Gunpowder philosopher what some boy feel like. . I made the list this year.
Nee kaatru, naan maram, yenna sonnaalum thalayaattuven. Nee mazhai, naan bhoomi enge vizhunthaalum enthikkolven. Nee iravu, naan vinmeen, nee irukkum vare thaan naan iruppen.
This ain't a good time. But when is it ever. I know the perfect time. And baby that's never. So don't you dare leave me now. Throw my heart on the ground.
When I am old and lonely. Would you still be there for me. 'Cause now I have all of my strength. And you have all your beauty. . When you're gold in Timbuktu.
There's no way to write it, there's no way to fight it. And I kick and scream but you got me despite it. And I got my pride so I begin to hide it. Like fire in freetown you begin to light it.
Picture the morning taste and devour. We rise early pace up the hour. Streets is bustling hustling their heart out. You can't have the sweet with no sour.
Ooh, woooh. . Give me freedom, give me fire. Give me reason, take me higher. See the champions, take the field now. You define us, make us feel proud.
Yeah, believe it or not. What kept me alive is my dreams. . I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems. But we love to have fun. This is our world, from here to your hood.
I came out of a killer, neighborhood called River. Where life expectancy is shorter than a caterpillar. I was once a gorilla, and this show was my cage.
Yea, uhhh. Its K'naan. Yea, uuhh. About to take over with this, here we go I check it.... . They don`t expect me on this beat, the thunder on the street.
[Verse 1:]. It's like writing to the dead, dear people, I don't know if you'll hear my last plea,. But somebody needs to be a little concerned about me, it's like I'm standing on the edge of a high tower by kanie,.
