[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
