|
I want to be as free as the spirits of those who left |
|
I'm talking Malcom, Coltrane, my man Yusef |
|
Through death through conception |
|
New breath and resurrection |
|
For moms, new steps in her direction |
|
In the right way told inside is where the fight lay |
|
And everything a nigga do may not be what he might say |
|
Chicago nights stay, stay on the mind |
|
But I write many lives and lay on these lines |
|
Wave the signs of the times many say the grind is on the mind |
|
Shorties blunted eyed and everyone wonderin' where I'm |
|
Bush pushing lies, killers immortalized |
|
We got arms but won't reach for the skies |
|
Waiting for the Lord to rise, I look into my daughter's eyes |
|
And realize that I'ma learn through her |
|
The Messiah, might even return through her |
|
If I'ma do it, I gotta change the world through her |
|
Furs and a Benz, grams wantin' 'em |
|
Demons and old friends, pops they hauntin' him |
|
The chosen one from the land of the frozen sun |
|
When drunk nights get remembered more than sober ones |
|
Walk like warriors, we were never told to run |
|
Explored the world to return to where my soul begun |
|
Never looking back or too far in front of me |
|
The present is a gift |
|
And I just wanna be |
