Sage Of Six - Circles lyrics

[Hook] I heard my name, did you call me? Did you speak truth, when you dug wounds? When you spilled blood, did you say love? When you promised the most high You won't betray [Verse 1] I've been spinning around in Circles To enter the circuit And get up off the surface This music s*** is Important But N***** treat it like the Circus Can't keep it To the estate Cause they've pa**ed Habeas Corpus And made the game Go public Now everybody corrupts it This music s*** Was a gift Until they turned it Into the Biz Now any "artist" Can make it If they're a computer wiz We sell out stadiums For "rappers" Who can't write When the coldest And hardest spitters Are spitting at open mics I can't See that as right Because I perceive this As life And when people Just make a mockery That can Cause more than Strife There's been a developmental gap Somewhere down the line Because as artists We stopped progressing I'd still take to the nines That's why I'm taking my time And y'all wasting mine Fine Place the fakes Out the picture To free space in my mind Every Kodak moment And meant to make it Through time I walk into the future With one eye on the past (The new Spiegel) I hope I last Longer than the last [Refrain] I've been spinning around in circles[4x] [Hook] I heard my name, did you call me? Did you speak truth, when you dug wounds? When you spilled blood, did you say love? When you promised the most high You won't betray [Verse 2] On to the next paragraph Rhymes slanted Like parallelograms My cousin He used to rap But now He sells it by the gram Cause he couldn't get off the ground Swear that n**** Could have been Nas But he didn't get any nods Cause he don't rap like Cash Out And he wasn't beating the odds Not that He wasn't playing his hand He just Couldn't afford the cards He became bothered by broads Ended up having a son She already had more I blame her For closing his door The bottom line is We aren't helping our community When Future came to town The present got surreal to me I went to an open mic And it was unreal to me So much talent In one room That world wouldn't see Every artist Spoke with real pain That I couldn't believe We made each other Feel free And they gave me the strength To put my heart on the sleeve When I listen to the radio All I really hear is a beat That's why refuse to stop Until The Real Is on repeat Because I need the world to see That rap is Way more than words Of Hoes money and clothes We're just getting what we deserve I'll be grinding my whole life Until my family living right And I can be strong For everyone Who feels they've Lost their might Reach the blind And shine light Until I give them sight Walk into a room of lames And spit the power of flight I'm not here just to survive There has to be more to life And if Music can heal people My purpose has been contrived That's why I say Don't make a mockery Of the reason I'm alive [Hook] I heard my name, did you call me? Did you speak truth, when you dug wounds? When you spilled blood, did you say love? When you promised the most high You won't betray
