B-Baz-
As I look at the man in mirror it's getting clearer
At 23 years I have used my tears
As the blood of my people falls upon the leaves
Only time a n***a blessed is when I sneeze (Achoo!)
And so the beat is my Kleenex, my band-aid and blanket
I vent all my sorrows in poems and tape decks
I want to change the world but I need them to listen
Cause as a black man all I've got is conviction
See I pray every day that my blood don't splatter
Since White America shows me that my life don't matter
Cut the chatter, I'm shattering boundaries at the moment
Mother Nature and Father Time are some deadly opponents
N***as ask, "Baz, why you see the world you do?"
Do you ever ask God why the sky is blue?
Clock is ticking, fourth quarter's almost up
Say a prayer for your boy before my soul goes numb, one
What we have to do, what we have to do
I just want to live X4
Gouekin-
From Pharaohs to slaves in an instant
Historys got a way of diminishing existence
I don’t want to be a product of the slow roll to your pension
Whats missing? can you listen, wheres the friction?
Whats the point of living a life thats apathetic
Copacetic to hectic thoughts disarming the message
I’m getting stronger peep that arm and
Hammer vestige
Ain't no telling, I’m smelling the present
Lastly the past needs some fuckin credit
To ruining the future with the ebony suppression
And pushing the masses of blackness to regression
I guess I’m trying to find some heaven in this rap session
Homie homie whats your story
Tell it all you can’t bore me
Tell me how you couldn’t reach your forties because of a blast heard around the world thats left us hurting
I just want to smile again
Never want to hear bout another dead child or friend
I’m just stuck looping the lies of the media
Gotta make a song that can supply to the needy brother
What do we have to do, what do we have to do?
I just want live X4
Gouekin-
I’m sitting in my room with my eyes red
I shouldn’t have smoked, just looking for some pride like lions head
I heard the news about my friends dead homie
I pray for you and family even if they'd only know me
I gotta be change I wanna see, obviously, the God in me just brought me straight back from an odyssey
No homer doh, probably just to see that cops can rob bodily and leave em in the street pouring bottles seems like a hobby b
I should’ve known history would repeat itself
Been told so many times but I told em I never needed help
Free yourself from your mind, I did my time
Now I’m trying to build up something here that is bigger than my life
I am here to survive
I will be your demise
Ya’ll that dig our graves for us before we open our eyes
I’m here to chastise
I just want to comprise
Enough so that our past isn’t built upon white lies
Notice this potent moment put me in a psychosis
Took the blurry videos for me to finally focus
Its for the disenfranchised, unnoticed, the cocked and loaded poets
The hopeless, the broken and those at their lowest
But theres a bonus we are the chosen!
What we have to do, what we have to do
I just want to live X4
