About all I've been through I wish I was dreamin' Man it's hard to be an angel when you surrounded by demons I watched so many people leave I see 'em change by the season that's mama's seasonin' God got you the devil's watchin' he just peekin' in I know I madе a promise that I'd never let the reaper in But lately I've been losin' all my deepest friends And lately I've been swimmin' on the deepest end
It's just d**gs it ain't no hugs it ain't no love there You been down so much you don't even know what's upstairs
Suicidal thoughts got you wonderin' what's up there
And while I introduce the party you say it's up there Too many pills so much potions so much pain too many emotions
And everything that you do good it just go unnoticed
Did He tell you that you good and just stay focused
Mama you was the life of the party
I swear you brought life to the party
When you lost your life it took the life out the party
That woman rode with me like a Harley
Visions of my cousins in a cell really scarred me
Movin' to the hood was like signin' up for the army 'Cause they been killin' **** since **** was watchin' Barney You want dreams to come true But I have nightmares
'Cause if that come to life then I might not be right here Been in the dark so long don't know if the light here But I'm just reaching for the stars like Buzz Lightyear And now I'm lightyears ahead of those nightmares I deaded those night terrors when the night clears
And if I talk to Christ can I bring my mother back to life And if I die tonight will I see her in the afterlife But back to reality where everything's a tragedy You better have a strategy or you could be a statistic Little boy dies he's just one of the mystic And mama steady crying 'cause she really the victim And she's getting high and she's getting addicted And her older boy just stuck with the picture painted vivid That's a family portrait and her daughter just absorbed it
Sixteen pregnant baby daddy say she should abort it But we can't afford it so she decides to move forward Baby shower time father didn't show up
Now she just feeling nauseous like she finna throw up The water flows down her legs yeah it's finna go up
A year done went by her daughter just turned one
And she's still dependent on her mom
Big brother in the streets he went and bought him a gun He want revenge 'cause the pain feelin' numb
And her mom still doing d**gs 'cause that's the only time she feel loved Is it real love Do the scars really heal up From all the pain that done built up but they don't feel us
A week done flew by big bro ridin' then he see the guys Left his little brother on the side bleeding from the side He seein' red it's like he's bleeding through his eyes To see him dead the only thing that'll help the grieving up inside
Even let him get the last meal
He done with the streets after this this his last kill
He gotta show him that it's that real
He ran up on him with the pipe like "**** stand still"
"You took my brother life you made my mother cry"
"Tell me one reason I shouldn't send you up to Christ" He said "Go 'head take my life I've seen everything but Christ"
Then big bro just blacked out and all you seen was the light Jesus Lord
Tell me if you know someone that needs Jesus Lord
Now we've been through a lot of things
Tell me if you know someone that needs Jesus Lord
He lives in a lot of things
Tell me if you know someone that needs Jesus Lord
Been through a lot of things
Tell me if you know someone that needs
Jesus Lord Jay Electronica:
Uh-huh in the name of the true and living God the beneficent the merciful Thank you for bringing me up the rough side of the mountain like Ertuğrul Every knee bowed and every tongue confessed and paid homage To the monk who visited Rothschilds like Thelonious did Pannonica It's Jay Elec-entendre-nica comin' through your monitor Back from the great beyond like the Son of Man or the Son of Donda I never rolled the GSXR or the R6 or the Honda But I flew my Ducati through North America like Wakanda Earthquakes will strike this nation for what Bush did to Rwanda What the Clintons did to Haiti and Downing Street did to Ghana In Tepoztlán they call me Terremoto El Negro Loco I shake the tectonic plates of the game if I lay one vocal The God is interstellar while you fellas remain local My bars is like the pyramid temples of Pacal Votan As sure as the DOJ confirmed Ezekiel's Wheel I could change the world like Yacub with two pieces of steel My sword and my microphone I swore to the Christ's throne But when you great they wanna say you took a L José Castillo I'm in the fight here fight here for what seemed like lightyears My rugged cross and thorny crowns squeeze out Christ tears Thirty pieces of silver clout my Pierre price tier It's a war outside it's a war outside It's like the last days of Sodom and Gomorrah outside Kanye West:
Tell me if you know someone that needs Jesus Lord
Now we've been through a lot of things
Tell me if you know someone that needs Jesus Lord
He lives in a lot of things
Tell me if you know someone that needs
Jesus Lord
Been through a lot of things
Tell me if you know someone that needs Jesus Lord Larry Hoover Jr./Kanye West: What up Ye
This Larry Hoover Jr
First and foremost
I wanna thank you for taking the fight for my father to the Oval Office
You might not have been the only one that could've did that But you were the one that did do that
And with your assistance We can continue to let the world take part in this fight
You know to me it kinda feels like Me my mother my brothers and my kids
Have all been incarcerated through this journey
And we haven't even been to jail
We have been looked at and treated as criminals
For being a part of this family My father's truth and the reality that he raised me in Is that he wanted to make a change in this community 'Cause the conditions in this capitalist society is what made him And it is what made the children of today
After twenty-five years of bein' locked down twenty-three and one My father has not called any shots from one of the most secure And segregated prisons in the world And will not once released call any shots for the Gangster Disciples If my father's intentions were to lead us to death destruction
Into the Hell that he has had to live in for the past twenty-six years
Man he would be dead to me
I didn't sign up for that
I didn't stay on this journey this long for that
All my life man
I've been waitin' for my father to come home
They told me when I graduate eighth grade he would be home
Then they told me when I graduate from high school he would be home
I went away to Morris Brown I graduated and he still ain't home
Now I'm a adult and my daughter went away to college and graduated
He still not home
Now even more than that my son he graduated eighth grade and we still waitin'
Matter of fact he hasn't hugged kissed or touched any of his grandchildren
And they haven't been able to touch they grandfather Even though it is not seen that way for some of us
But for many of us Larry Hoover is a beacon of hope for his community
Who deserves to breathe free air
Free my father
Mr. Larry Hoover Sr.
Lord
