I Hope They Write
I hope they write that I was righteous
I hope they write that the kid was writing with arthritis
At night with a bleeding pen
With the power to make soldiers from civilians
So am I really him?
[Verse 1: Mark]
Ya ya! I hope they write that I was righteous/
I hope they write that the kid was writing with arthritis/
At night with a bleeding pen/
With the power to make soldiers from civilians/
So am I really him? Am I really Mark?
Or am I Peter Parker in the game with Tony Stark/ just
Stalking a white babe home and watch her go to bed/
And wake up the next day when the news pronounce
Her dead/ because you know my deeds/ and you know I bleed
A hundred and forty characters on your tweeter feed/
Tweet! Tweet! Gazza tweeted me and my crew are the
Best as far as Hip Hop/But we about to go global/ this
Is a pit stop/I'm refueling/So quit drooling on yourself/
Every time you see me swell into a giant presentation
Of what most of you perceive as the standard cla**ical skinny guy/
Never die for my city I'd rather the F-en city died/
FNCC art on my mind when I'm smoking these trees/I'm
Displeased with the number of Kwaitos that are wearing
DCs/you know that they don't skateboard and that's
What they were made for/For May 4th/For Star Wars geeks
Having a face-off/I'm Adolf when I hit her/With some of that
Seventy seventy seventy megahert interceptive rhyme spitter/So speak up
Young blood coz I can't hear you over the sound of a thousand people
Waiting for my sh** to drop
Chorus 2X
I hope they write that I was righteous
I hope they write that the kid was writing with arthritis
At night with a bleeding pen
With the power to make soldiers from civilians
So am I really him?
[Verse 2: AliThatDude]
I'm feeling like life is crumbling/ right before my eyes and I cannot do a thing so I/
Turn to the pen and the pad/hoping to lift all the evil spirits a n***a had/
Be away with you muthaf** keep me from thinking straight/they say time waits for no men
And I ain't got time to wait/better yet waste I'm 24/trying to make haste and get my doe/
Better not fail at college the pressures on what you know/got a n***a feeling all alone/
So I say to myself/ on my own/Don't say nothing to no man truth be told/not that social/
Better way rhyme to express my vocal and the way that I feel inside/can drive a n***a loco
Don't feel alive/Only feel so so so I
Chorus 2X
I hope they write that I was righteous
I hope they write that the kid was writing with arthritis
At night with a bleeding pen
With the power to make soldiers from civilians
So am I really him?
[Verse 3:Mark]
They tell me speak of the devil/ I never speak of the devil cos when I speak of the devil
He will go out and he'll meddle in my affairs/ sinking my boat burning a flare /I keep my
Violent exes in phone books listed in pairs/ turn a hot day into a dance in the rain/ on a
Scale they measured Pac's body we weighed about the same because we both had/ uncanny
Sk**s with the notepad /I'd rather not talk about the things that we both had/ I'd rather
Talk about the things we didn't like a ghost dad but you are not the man that makes you
I am Seku/ I'm long negotiations waiting for a break through/ I am the only Asian in this
Cla** with a space suit so geeks humble yourselves I might mumble a name or two in
My sleep about dudes I look up to but I'd never say it/I'm only a fan when I'm sedated/
And f** a fan you're only my fam if we're related
Chorus 2X
I hope they write that I was righteous
I hope they write that the kid was writing with arthritis
At night with a bleeding pen
With the power to make soldiers from civilians
So am I really him?
[Poem: Nikolai]
My best poems are the ones I'm not ready to write... And even though their words and
Rhymes keep hitting my creative receptors like battering-rams sent by the speed of, what
I have always been afraid to release them into the vindictive scrutiny of, the light, it's not
The battle with the shadows that I've battled with all my life. See I won that war a long
Time ago, and thinking that I'm coming for my own crown is just the type of disillusioned-
Foolery that will result in your sudden departure from the comfort of your Perceived
Supremacy, at its highest point of solitary revelry.The fact that they have never and
Thus probably won't ever, attempt to understand why my Royalty runs deeper than what
Depths and heights could ever retain with the aim to restrain... is exactly why my proclamations
Must remain reserved within the cellular form of a hidden membrane
