Kid Pharaoh - Dynasty lyrics
[Intro] I'm seeing all the tats on your arm of the hieroglyph, but I'm not buyin' sh** Yeah I'm seeing all the clothes that you rock with the big stock Pharaoh on ‘em here's the problem This culture's not a costume yeah for you to consume just when you please it Tell me to walk like an Egyptian and I might just walk your a** to Egypt [Verse 1] Show you how they living without the freedom Where the leaders never leadin' when you need ‘em And the people in the streets they weep for reason Protest til the higher powers free them Man what kinda life is that to live from day to day? You never seen corruption like one they can face You never seen destruction in that fatal way Can bit by bit just dump your faith away But really you don't care, what's the meaning of it all? They portray us with facades, steady screening on the wall Clichés everyday, intervening with the cause That we're tryna move it forward steady dreaming of the thought Thoughts of evolution to carry what is written They still cast white guys to play us Egyptians? Yeah, it's like I'm not right sh** to fill my own position But I stay fightin' for that tradition, so I never listen, just listen [Pre-Hook] We, never wanted you to love us I said We, were tryna make it through the come up I said We, never wanted you to love us But you can't take nothing from us This the future we been promised (And we still say) [Hook] x2 Dynasty, dynasty, can you ride with me? (And we still say) Dynasty, in my dynasty, can you ride with me? (And we still say) Dynasty, dynasty, can you ride with me? (And we still say) Dynasty, in my dynasty, can you ride with me? [Intro] I'm seeing all the tats on your arm of the hieroglyph, but I'm not buyin' sh** Yeah I'm seeing all the clothes that you rock with the big stock Pharaoh on ‘em here's the problem This culture's not a costume yeah for you to consume just when you please it Tell me to walk like an Egyptian and I might just walk your a** to Egypt [Verse 2] But even over there they want to flee it Over here they tellin' me to love or leave it Brown skin they don't even wanna see it Tell Pauline please explain your reason What you want me out for? My complexion is a blessing You oppressing the young kings, I must confess it You don't really wanna see 'em all aggressive And you don't really wanna know just who you messin' with Now tell me what you really wanna do now? It's on the table really it's your move now All your people man they telling me to move out Was born up in this b**h you got me hot ain't gonna cool down I'm trapped inside with no ransom My soul is woke, you being poked by the phantom They all provoked and turning boats ‘cause they can Don't stall me bro, and you can that ol' Hanson we, never [Hook] x2
