(Always writing... always revising) | |
Shorty feels the pressure on his shoulders as he's liftin' it | |
Wonders why the elders always tell him not to question it | |
Options at the bottom of the ladder got him desperate | |
But all he ever wanted was a weapon to protect him with | |
Riding a 36 through the veins of the beacon | |
The water is the heart, its rainin' when its beatin' | |
In the city that I sleep in I'm dreamin' while I'm awake | |
The miserable escape but they're too high to ponder faith | |
But who am I, to use their plight to illustrate a rhyme | |
With everything around me that I've never had to live | |
But I observe the inequalities to serve the people properly | |
Tell them that their freedom isn't found in private property | |
Prostitutes are more than just the folks who sell their bodies | |
See this ******t applies to those whose souls are a commodity | |
I can hear the colony callin' me back to be | |
The bullet in the belly while they lock, load, and squeeze | |
Rebel with a pen lettin' off buckshots in threes | |
Rewriting what it is into what it ought to be | |
They made a mockery out of the possibility | |
But under constant revision is the poem that I be | |
Rebel with a pen lettin' off buckshots in threes | |
Rewriting what it is into what it ought to be | |
I be the emcee in the place not to be | |
But under constant revision is the poem that I be | |
Shorty feels oppression on his shoulders as he's liftin it | |
Wonders why the elders always tell him not to question it | |
Conjuring the courage just to conquer whats been killin him | |
He says its ****** up cause he knows no other synonym | |
Hidden from the truth, seen youths turned to troops | |
Whos goal at 21 is to turn 22, true tuition's too high | |
and those with the privelage to pay don't listen, it's a shame, go figurin' | |
The name of the father, the son and holy lyrics | |
I suppose those who know what I'm sayin' when they hear it | |
Might rage against the system, or hate me for dissin' | |
The house in which they live in as a slave to the rhythm | |
But I walk the broken sidewalk paved with the magic | |
Of those who walk past it, just to survive traffic | |
If paybacks a ******, gravity's a bastard | |
Avenues I used to call familiar turned backward | |
Rebel with a pen lettin' off buckshots in threes | |
Rewriting what it is into what it ought to be | |
They made a mockery out of the possibility | |
But under constant revision is the poem that I be | |
Rebel with a pen lettin' off buckshots in threes | |
Rewriting what it is into what it ought to be | |
I be the emcee in the place not to be | |
But under constant revision is the poem that I be | |
Yo.. shorty's getting grown, old enough to read the messages | |
Understands the elders as he then begins to question them | |
One generation handed down what they've inherited | |
Another generation rewriting the master narrative | |
Older folks overdose on broken hopes often | |
Children then begin to grow comatose and lost up | |
In the clutches of the wickedest fingers | |
Indicative of the systems inhibited | |
Ability to listen to the voice of the dyin who've been tired of cryin' | |
Nightsticks fall where projectiles are flyin' | |
Through a straight path narrow like the gap between heaven and hell | |
They skip class cause they know it's a jail, true | |
Students prevail when the knowledge is passed | |
But others seem to fail sittin flat on their ass | |
And now I be the emcee in the place not be | |
Under constant revision is the poem that I be | |
Rebel with a pen lettin' off buckshots in threes | |
Rewriting what it is into what it ought to be | |
I be the emcee in the place not to be | |
But under constant revision is the poem that I be |
