[Aali:Intro] Just want to provide an introspective Memoir from a time where we pledge Allegiance to only anything tangibly in view Never out of sight [Verse 1: Aali] I know a lot of n***as dreams That are hanging from the gallows arch They caddle walk, seem to be sheep Whenever they thought about the matriarch They pa**ion...Seems to be the lacking part I think the presence of a lion is needed To go and lead the march Saying hip-hop seems to be a dying art Well I applaud that wit'napalm strapped to my palms back So these non believers can find a f**ing reason For their newest target And forget the f**ing chains and whips Thats weighing down my n***as backs If we believe that we the ones the world should be eaten off Then why the f**, can't we make an atheist believe in God? Never did I, rely upon anther mans eyes To tell me the truth about the wonders God has put in the sky n***as alive, don't seem alive It seems they've died More times than n***as reachin' out the coffin For another reprise But God since Im breathing' Please keep my hope alive And give the strength to go and spas on the f**in mic [Hook: Aali] x2 n***as reachin for the sun But n***as dyin' on the moon Sins just fallin' at the earth We know Jesus coming soon [Bridge: Aali] Ask em' why they dyin' young Answer is that f**in' turf n***as know they f**in' worth Run up on yo doorstep when they Guaranteed a f**in' ounce Unload a f**in' round [Verse 2: Aali] Understand that, whoever that you cry with Now becomes your kinfolk Providin' for these families be the reasons Some n***as die for But the 9 to 5 be the grind No one wants to ride fo' Its funny, how that rhyme go Its funny, where the time goes Spending greenbacks for these kickbacks Where drunk women might end up on they back Giving you neck Just another added complex In a culture thats too violent Ironic pops was in the pen Before I was a citizen Never to focused on my grievance of my depression when My all black skin saw only all white men In the cla**room where them all white girls Thought I was a distant cousin of the Tubman Oh my did I just make my dear God smile Or did I make him hate me Cause Lord knows my young soul Is carryin' a few bodies if we Considerin' where my dicks been But thats a sin society doesn't want To pay attention Cause we all know in the moment How it feels inside a women [Hook: Aali] x2 n***as reachin for the sun But n***as dyin' on the moon Sins just fallin' at the earth We know Jesus coming soon [Bridge: Aali] Ask em' why they dyin' young Answer is that f**in' turf n***as know they f**in' worth Run up on yo doorstep when they Guaranteed a f**in' ounce Unload a f**in' round [Outro: Aali] Unload a f**in round Hey, see they talk about the art form But I think I just upper handed all of hip hop With the rhyme scheme I just invented Aali
