Afrokeys - Rest In Peace (Bonus Track) lyrics

[Intro] So I just go in? [Verse 1] I never been one to complain, about the life I was given How I made it through poverty, and never been locked in a prison Even though it seemed at every corner, that was my fate I'm still alive, I think God somehow made a mistake They told me that was impossible, I believed them But when they said my goals were impossible, I achieved them And then they said I'd never be nothing, but I prefer to disagree Cause if you know R-O-D, you would see greatness inside of me Lyrical sodomy, is what I give to my opposition Anyone with negativity, for my composition Don't take it personal buddy, this is part of the business Your so called friends, are backstabbing relentless What happened to the loyalty, must've died with Pac Got brothers k**ing brothers, so population can drop We beefin' over rims spinnin', and our top when it's dropped Instead of starting our own business, and investing in stock We never had a role model, to show us how to do better Only Malcolm, Marcus, Martin Luther, and Mrs. Coretta On second thought, we had the answer staring right in our face If we don't know our past, then our future bound to erase [Hook] I'd like to say, rest in peace to all these wack emcees No more rhymin' about diamonds, and how you're shipping them keys You're not a soldier, if you've never been to war overseas I came to stop the ignorance, from spreading like a disease I'd like to say, rest in peace to all these wack emcees No more rhymin' about diamonds, and how you're shipping them keys You're not a soldier, if you've never been to war overseas I came to stop the ignorance, from spreading like a disease, ugh [Verse 2] You live to go through a struggle, I'm dying to make a change Every line that I spit, is like poison inside the brain Of a rapper that can't maintain, his lyrical reputation Mentally I'm erasin', with a physical amputation So face it don't get complacent, or you'll end up a casualty To the fact that these wack emcees, far from reality Blind you with flashy gimmicks, no knowledge of hieroglyphics Grimey to pop a molly, they'll come rupture your appendix Feening for a deeper meaning, and spiritual elevation I'm the wisdom professor, taking away mis-education Cla** is now in session, no more stressin' is my first lesson Learn to look past the struggle, and start to count up your blessings In this profession, I've met a few of you non-believers Trying to lock down the artist, but now it's time that you free us Far from a hero, cause my heart colder than below zero Born as a Gemini, from the womb of a Leo [Hook] [Verse 3] My life is complicated, but often been imitated The swagger I've demonstrated, could never be duplicated I won't be infiltrated, with none of this haterism When they say I'm overrated, I hit 'em with lyricism You can't deny me that, sit back and watch my paper stack When I jump on a track, you know I'm never holding back I'm never giving slack, flow harder than juggernauts My life is too successful, and never been slangin' rocks Can't put me in a box, lil' buddy I'm so outta shape Don't try to lock me up, you know I'll make a great escape I'm never coming back, just tell 'em that I'm on a mission My destiny is written, legend playing my position Got me hopin' and wishin', I could rock the mic forever I can make it wherever, cause my cerebellum clever I'm on another level, see me off in outer space Life is a gamble, but the destination ain't a race [Hook]
