Sho Baraka - Revolutionary Died lyrics

I got some tragic news today Real manhood has died, they say But you can wipe your tears away A Revolution is formed another will be born I got some tragic news today Real manhood has died, they say But you can wipe your tears away A new one is born so bring in the song I am changed escapin' my old ways Harriet Tubman on that underground train Too many men see the grave misinterpreting brave I could loose those chains if they knew they were slaves I thought a man was a pimp at a young age Now I try to honor women when the pen hits the page Its still hip-hop minus all the thuggin Take the poet and priest and put it in a husband Not boasting I'm far from perfect I'm just saying give the title to some cats who deserve it I know some men earned it Some strong role models who knows GOD's purpose I know one song can't change the world But maybe dude next door'll stop beatin' his girl And maybe we can get some brothas out trap I just wanna change my block we'll see what happens after that My cuzzo like I can make that dollar pretty quick Illegal stuff, I tell him he should work for it He looked me up down and stuck his mouth to the side Like c'mon you know you done I lost my mind He wants High Living but was forced in the basement Lets face it this is what racism has created I told my dog you'll never catch the car don't chase it So many k** themselves in world trying to make it Your appetite will eat you when you get a chance to taste it Their cups look full, but their lives look Wasted A fully furnished house but your soul feels vacant get some new thngs but feel the need to replace it yeah, this is man's ordeal Decorate his frame to make himself feel real Or rob, steal, k** Any emotion is good as long as I feel No sir that's aint what manhood is Life without morals and fruitless end I took him under my wing now the journey begin Hopefully another man can be born again This cat asking me how many shawties I tap I know you get a lot of play even in gospel rap I wasn't too shocked if my discernments was right He type that hasn't seen a brother honor his wife So instead of calling him stupid and causing a fight Just explained to this brother things I value in life He confused cuz he said you don't look like the type That really lives all the stuff that you say on the mic He's doubting my words like he needs some proof Plus he struggles with the idea of absolute truth He won't practice those things which he don't esteem If he hates absolute truth then he's the Supreme being Then he has no standards, then he has no answers So his contributions in life is just prostate cancer I try to answer every question that he throws my way Hopefully another real man will be born today
