Caliph - Heart In Mind lyrics

Verse 1 Depression Story of my life since I was sixteen As big dreams Turned me to a victim of a ruler Or a dozen of rulers I was close as fourth and inches Till them Lee Harvey Oswalds AIMed through computers And co*ked back to shoot us Reminiscing of X but the second floor balconies turned me into Martin Luther As a victim (x2) to these dream (x5) k**ers (x2) You know them Freddy Kruegers But see Elm street is too far from here Its the hood you ain't getting Garelick Farms from here Its more like store brand 2 percent They took my scholarship and sent this dog through the penn And now I'm sick and you the vet Is it cool to vent Who am I kidding huh? Not a soul my first child got aborted While I was living here daily in fear of being deported With a daily paranoia of standing there with some lawyers like He ain't do a crime He was brought here as a child And we stripped him of everything but he's keeping hope alive With his parents watching the news to see an end to it Till I grew numb as you can see I been through it Could have had a car but i couldn't get a license Never met my grandmother couldn't book a flight Them schools were saying no and we couldn't put up a fight And my grandmother past still couldn't book a flight I was going through this all and I could get advice And what that did was worst than what Joe Jackson did to Mike Cause while my peers drove right into colleges I was tore up He never had a childhood, I never got to grow up Then this rapping came thats when I got my flow up To show us That one of us got a chance to blow up And make it out of the struggle Though I heard if you struggle it means that god loves you Well he must love me a whole lot Did I just use his name in vein I hope not I hope to never be in vein like a dope shot Cause I'm just racing for your love like Alfalfa in his soap box Chorus (x2) Now please keep a heart in mind Please keep a heart in mind Now please keep a heart in mind As I follow every beat with a thought of mine
