Life and Lyrics
Life and Lyrics make a perfect melody of abstract thoughts and words
blended together in harmony to hit hard like a snare drum
clap clap
once or twice
bow down to the sweetest thing
like ice to tea
bitter sweet
you've been blinded with greed
to the point you don't see me
clap clap
we rise and fall from the east like tidal waves to a sea shore
exploring my destiny with fragile steps like broken glass to a window pain
you don't see me cause you've been cracked with life pains
couldn't visualize your prophecy
so you yell my name
didn't realize its was within me to rise and be the queen
god meant for me to be
clap clap
I know you hear my heart beat
watch me travel the seven seas
rising to the top
being the queen I'm meant to be
all while keeping the faith on the west side of Cornell
clap clap
you don't understand when I say I'm parallel
I feel like I'm double parked the way you watching me
must I say I'm colder then Icyss sitting on top of a iceberg in Iceland
all a while you been praying a while
but you not messing with this golden child
Now you wonder why I say I don't understand why my pen don't roll over the pad so easy
you couldn't visualize the greatest with a third eye
now I understand why you don't see me
and hear me the way Stevie hears the t.v.
clap clap
the way my mind maps the way is amazing
still u wanna play me
you'll be better off playing hide and seek with a rattle snake
these aren't the breaks like the facts of life
where everything at stake
politicians lying and education declining
our children are suffering while we are buffering our way through
To afraid to change and rearranging this path we've been givin
whether you are black, white, red,yellow, or brown we all must stand our ground
clap clap
