Tedashii - King lyrics
[Hook: Lizi Bailey] I'm a stranger, no one knows me No one understands the troubled man that I be How'd I get here? Please come and find me I wanna go somewhere that all my cares can be free [Verse 1: Sho Baraka] Yeah, I had a dream all people were made equal (yea) Hollywood and hip-hop didn't exploit evil (dang) Ignorance wasn't synonymous with Hood (dang) We wanted God and we didn't settle for good (dang) In my dreams He will save you And Lord's not a name to increase an agenda or platform (dang) In a world where government cared more About feedin' the poor and not fundin' the war (dang) No matter your color we were all brothers Some just have a different type of tan than others Ha, in my dream hate was bowin' down to grace Along with racism they were mentored by faith Ha, then it grew and it became service along with racism They were mentored by purpose In my dream anger was quick to listen Charity and peace were close friends with riches (yeah) Contentment was never jealous of business And pride was always kickin' it tight with forgiveness Ha, in my dreams it's such a good life there I'm startin' to think I don't belong in this nightmare (hey) [Bridge: Lizi Bailey] Oh, something in me knows this is not my home This is not my home And a stranger I will be until you come for me Until you take me home [Verse 2: Tedashii] It's been so many years, count the days and hours I feel trapped in this world wide web no browser Search my journey a pilgrim no mayflower Just April showers April fool, April fool Flashback grab that had that where's that fast track fade black Ha where did it go? First home first gone thirst on hurts strong search on what's wrong Ha where did it go? Thrill is gone - that's the blues under blue skies Time flies for every mile do I earn rewards Tell me Lord put somethin' on my commissary Penitentiary livin' from the sinning so wanna run on run home Tryin' to find myself that I lost that was so long But after all this time my mind's so gone My past is a stranger, my presence is acquainted I soon forget my future I ain't never met Unknown plastic faces displaced to betrayed visions Images of shenanigans yeah dummy like mannequins Can I speak candidly more fake than for real Livin' in a fantasy freeze time insanity Born to crawl walk run walk then crawl The fate of all to face the call of every man's fall The pain of that can drive many to be maniacs Or manic depressive requestin' that's how insane we act It's hard to face the facts that soon this track will run its course I just pray that we'll be okay with what this means for us The end is near no need to fear when hope is clear The time keeps moving, it's true, bring in the chorus [Hook] [Outro: Sho Baraka] Man it's such a good life there You don't like my dreams, well good luck in this nightmare Huh, it's such a good life there You don't like my dreams, well good luck in this nightmare Dang it's such a good life there, such a good life there You don't believe in dreams, well good luck in this nightmare Yeah good luck in this nightmare It's such a good life there I'm a stranger
