dear reader,
this morning i heard this song for the first time
and this song
gcd(movedme, madememove)
so i wanted to type it out for you
to take the time to
share these words manually
with love
with you
:
i met a man playin in the woods
his piano was off-key
he sang to me softly
i bet he wouldn't change it if he could
gunshots ringin in the hood
they sound so off-beat
i'm prayin they don't off me
i promise i'd change it if i could
oh,why?
i'd retreat to the trees surrounded by green
but i need
need more for my kin and more for my team
dance to a different type beat
off kilter rhythm
check the traces of my feet
but i need
more before i dip out of the scene
for the niggas, for the queens,
for the babies, for the rounds,
for the sisters missing crowns
homies victim to apathy
like
honey drippin off the table
in front of me
feet say go
but my heart
still fights for the seed
they buy souls
but my soul
sent back the deed
oh,why?
so you get rich
ima try to get free
not exclusive mutually but
oh i
oh i gotta find the balance between
some say life is just a hell
and it's here we dwell
until we're truly free
truly, truly free
some say projects and ghettos
and seeds that will never grow
are all there is to see
i'll stay with you through
the night and in the darkest times
we'll fight through it all
until we reach that dawn
i dream of a world where
love is the rule
where hearts walk
two by two
and i with you
i dream of a place
where a child's wish
can always
come true
and the old and withered
become renewed
i met a man playing in the woods
his piano was off-key
he sang to me softly
i bet he wouldn't change it if we could
gunshots ringing in the hood
they sound so offbeat
i'm praying they don't off me
i promise i'd change it if i could
oh,why?
i can see the ripple
i can see the changes
ohmy, i can feel the reaper
i can hear the angles
oh, i cross my heart for safety
ohlord, they always called it crazy
it's really piece of mind
goodgod
all my life i had to fight
all my life passing by
all my life i had to write
all my life i had to die
all i had to sacrifice
bloodsweatandtears
i paid the price
starve today for
better days tomorrow
keep my spirits high up
when it rains
it pours
my ceiling go up
then they turn to my floor
when the game show love
been counting my blessings
my praise go up
still ten toes down
ima keep mine tucked
ima bang my buck
ima play my hand
and i aint gon change
'til i breathe my last
ima use my hands
ima play my songs
ima play my rights
ima do my dance
in the key of my life
ima sing my wrongs
ima be that light
ima clap my hands
ima smoke my weed
seed my plants and i lead
by faith when i play my jams
and you might think
i'm out of tune
but it aint got shit to do with you
ohmygod
your freedom is beyond
anyone outside of
yourselves controlling
it cannot be bought and sold
given away or even stolen
this divine entitlement
vital
to the nourishment of the soul
encourages
spiritual growth
to channel the ethereal
flow of creations river
across the cosmos
it's blessed osmosis
triggering consciousness
to focus
in a paradigm ascension
transcendent beyond all
space time dimensions
nottomention
my penchant for benediction
benedicting minds been
consistent in my grind
of using every pen and pencil
i can find
to elevate the state
of decline
that's dragging
the people down
so deep that
the climb
could never be done in a single lifetime
so i write life's lines
correction
my line's write life
correction
lifelines write up
when serving my purpose
to write
and recite
what touches
excites
ignites
and unites
us
so we can finally stop running
from freedom
-hapi by spillage village
we are one story
we move as one
and i with you
with a pocket full of love,
as a cold razor's edge,
