Juwon Simmons - The Poet ('s Tribulation) lyrics

Verse I: It's hard to tell em why i chose rap They think its easy but this sh** ain't really nothing Like hit slinging with metal bats Look at the facts, took a risk that you all do without Following ma thoughts on wat freedom should really be about I'm educated in colleges on the world scene Boy I had to learn it, that real dreamers grow wings Avarice a crown king, We love to worship it But I'm in that warship, running circles all over it Im steady pushing, establishing in my new religion A new religion where we don't believe in no religion If God exists, then I bet he'll comprehend it We been kicked unto the curb, been broken with no amends But ambitions still tall, and we don't stop pushing Till we breaking boundaries like the Berlin walls Till we hear the last call And blessings like the rains in the fall We tearing up the sky to let it pour out Hook: We're still here, whether it's upside down Or inside out, we're still here And we ain't going nowhere, x2 Verse II: We be the lyrical equivalent of mathematics Been complicated and hated like we're some bad habits But you will all have it, and dont pretend that you don't need it , coz we'll leave you blind till you all see it It doesn't matter if you can't But I'm happy that I took up my position Determined to be a better man I'm an epitome of perseverance ,opposing tides Still afford to show the world my benevolence My relevance, ain't we the ghosts of the first cla** And we're the legacy of times past Vast be the present but we grab it Show the people we got it, and we don't need approval We already validate it Liberation is a state of mind, but in the freedom that we're given Still enslaved, yet we thinking that we really fine Living the illusion of a fool, but still we stay wishing Writing melodies , while our souls cry Hook: We're still here, whether it's upside down Or inside out, we're still here And we ain't going nowhere, x2 VERSE III: Put on verse with metaphors on divine levels But y'all stupid, like cursed by a retarded devil We dumb it down, into the gravel, its simplified But they don't get the point like a fat belly with no navel Yea we gave it all, we poetically stand tall Do it till we fall down, drop We're Six feet deep into the dirt, and we do it for what it's worth We recycle trashed minds from the rubble,The ashes We're peaking into space like the Hubble, new paradigm Played the underground like a subterranean piano Pied piper , symphony is strife, so we aim high Instead of seeking night stars, you be after fast cars Tryna live a dream, had you sleeping with your eyes open Nose bleeding, hope choking, sight blinding I serve with delicacy, my verbal terminologies Punctuated ideas, with apostrophes, coz I am a poet
