New Album Intro (lyrics)
This is my 8thalbum 7 years since the last
Had a lot on my mind let a lot of stuff pass
Chose to focus on my kids, enjoy being a father
Watched too many brothers & sisters on tv get slaughtered
Hot and bothered, why they use us as fodder
Mothers, fathers, aunts & uncles, cousins, sons and daughters
Silenced by the pain, by cops my people get slain
So many stories I can make a song just sayin’ they names
Sandra bland, Stephon Clark, Philando, Eric garner
Robert white, mike brown, Danny Thomas, John Crawford
Willard & Walter Scott, Tamir rice, and Yarber
Tarika Wilson, Oscar Grant, James Brisette, Shem Walker
I ain’t got enough bars I know they up in the stars
But back on my earth we in a state of constant shock & awe
With the weight of the world on our shoulders Jehovah
In my daughters’ eyes I see the hope that saved this soldier
In my son I see the pride that keeps wakin’ me up
To fight harder every day and stop givin’ a…
What the deal I really feel like I live in a reel
Waitin’ to wake from a nightmare Freddy Kruger for real
Nightmare on my street everyday Friday the 13th
A president who don’t give a damn about my peeps
I see what the hell I got to lose I ain’t confused
And as long as I breathe I’m a challenge these fools
I got my ancestors watching’ I refuse to lose
For the future I be plottin’ on these blasé dudes
Cause everything is love and that’s how it should be
In those 7 years got a PhD in JAY Z
So y’all ain’t heard from me but yo boy ain’t stop
I never let go of the bars never stopped hip-hop
We been through hell but oh well got more stories to tell
Cause we ain’t goin’ nowhere this land’s our for real
