King Kanobby - Baby Malijha lyrics
Chorus A (@sean_braxton): Candlelight vigils outside of our businesses Marks another child not present for they Christmases Hearing all the silence and omissions of the innocent Drowned out by the cries ofs of how flawed the system is How many more children have to die While we stand idly by Watching parents cry Too afraid to protect our streets Tell me who else is going to weep for… Chorus B (Shayrielle/Keisha): Baby Malijah Baby Malijah... Tell me who else is going to weep for… Baby Malijah Baby Malijah... Wipe away your tears/Wipe your tears away Baby Malijah... Verse 1 (@ashesthechosen): Peace signs for Baby Malijha These words from my heart as honorable as Elijah Mind ya... ...I'm rhymin' trying to find it that next level They was dancin' with the stars I was dancin' with the devil Trying to save em with these bars from the bars that await em Whether Amen, Shabbat Shalom, or Wa-Alaikum-Salaam ...Last night she came to me in my dreams Asking why she had to die and what her murder really means She said “I miss my mommy and my daddy. Miss my granny miss my toys But where I am, things are happy There's so many others like me Up here I'm never alone But one thing up here is common That we all miss home Then she ask why some hurt to find they purpose That notion left me wordless Her question left me speechless I can't figure out that quotient Think about how many times… How many innocent babies den died And how do we rationalize? And how many times we are praying for mothers that cry Innocence lost to nonsense Ding in streets where k**in' is constant Where colors get took out of context And guns get emptied of contents No eye-witnesses in instances where they say it takes a village Kids grow with them images fall to viciousness ...Sometimes it feels so limited The pain's so vivid and hurts worser when you mention it Precursor like I came before I'm burdened with this penmanship My cursive fightin' curses for the black and brown membership Our nemesis is both officer eat a dick And papas that leave us quick And all the street corners offering leadership ...However misguided No boy scouts where we live So what we see is one sided See all these corny rappers popping pills Get kids to try it Make the rain with our dollars Hear our hollers and go quiet (Pause) But I'm gone keep being me And addressing what I see Til all my people are free Chorus A (@sean_braxton): Candlelight vigils outside of our businesses Marks another child not present for they Christmases Hearing all the silence and omissions of the innocent Drowned out by the cries ofs of how flawed the system is How many more children have to die While we stand idly by Watching parents cry Too afraid to protect our streets Tell me who else is going to weep for… Chorus B (Shayrielle/Keisha): Baby Malijah Baby Malijah... Tell me who else is going to weep for… Baby Malijah Baby Malijah... Wipe away your tears/Wipe your tears away Baby Malijah...
