Orlando Mclean - A Runaway lyrics
A RUNAWAY By Orland Mclean [Verse] Ya'll will get to know my name from all the lanes i adapt to A'int just a rapper i feel like all they want is the fame I get premonitions of change like Martin Luther King Back when he was having dreams about letting the freedom rain Sweet melodies i hum about catching the freedom train The rail road is underground an it leads to the freedom land If practice makes you perfect i'm never slipping on my slang Cause it will be worth it when your finally doing your thing We been putting this work an now watching it boomerang This sh** deeper than verses just trying to get you to understand Why theres a gun in my hand as i stand by this window Thinking by any mean protect my kinfolks I a'int guilty but cause i ran they looking for me in a country wide Span just to see where i am or where i did go This type of motivation keeps you moving with a limb gone Like kunta youngen understood Mutabaruka Right then i knew before school he was my first tooter Babylon want twenty one gun solute ya Stay true from the begging we need more Nefertiti and Nanny of The Maroon from out our women knowledge instilled in children Less shot licking in the neighborhoods that i'm living in Its the same predicament blocks away a'int sh** different Conditioned by the words of Markus Garvey i was listening An Gandhi taught me that peace and love conquers anything Though they letting the semis ring want you shaking like gelatin Dropping sh** like a pelican soon as the pressure settles in But i got my mind on better thing before having a child An presenting my bride with a wedding ring from the depth within I'll represent for my people ever record spins Resonating with we who still seeking they reparations Heaven sent but can't act like i a'int never sin From generation from generations they gone remember him For this spoken art sit me in the front like Rosa Parks On this journey were its hard as surgery on an open heart We will all end up on gurneys play my role cause i know my part Ought to get to know who we are thats word to Allah
