Yo'! this life that I'm livin'
Loyalty, the price of admission
By Shawn Stare
Severed division
As a people we are never committed
They tried to straight-jacket my flow
Rap me up in it!
But I escaped, found my existence
Shine
Stay lifting deez bars, like I came back from da yard
Dying is easy, livin' is hard
If you bless wit some heart, better put up ya guard
Dead brethrens, see da souls that are scarred
Kindred spirits ajar
Demons on a nightly basis I spar
Serving you lyrics, a benevolent figure
Triggered that's marred
My faith is strong but my hope is lost in da throngs
In da Congo wit Kongs
Still a King, take a puff off da bong
Spent a decade writing my wrongs
This for my day ones fuckin' wit Shawn
Who told me never give up, put in dat work
Ya dreams will come soon enough yo', put GOD first!
Niggaz wit or without money
Don't know which one presumably worse
I'm surrounded by jerks, no self in they worth
Benjamin Buttons, livin' life in reverse
When it's all said n done, we all gettin' reprimanded back to da earth
Like anything else, this shit come wit some perks
Guess that's what they mean, when they say this gift come wit a curse
I'm on a diligent search
To rescue myself immersed in sewage dat covered my light
Take flight, soar, render my purpose
Help, revive others breathe above surface
In a cesspool polluted wit grimey insurgents
Stay calm if your nervous!
Never showing ya hand
Ya integrity n morals something on which you should stand
Never break for any woman or man
Shawn Stare
I will devour ya Klan
Nat Turner
Go decapitate all of ya fam
Reprovision for my ancestors lives taken n all of they land
No segregation
Holocaust was equally damned
Hellfire cast on helpless spirits, straits that were dire
Lord strike me if I'm a liar
Nothing's changed, not even things we try to acquire
Assholes wit paper n power at da root of da tower
They send signals, distorting our prowess
Fuck hours!, been reclusive for years
Buried a host of my peers
Mr. Shakur
Eye shedded so many tears
Everything ain't what it appears
Meet situations head-on to conquer your fears
This world is just weird
Unless you been in them shoes
How can you judge what he or she do?
It's love over hate, look what they spew
Real time don't coincide wit da way social media moves
Take responsibility for da stuff you employ
The same shit make you sad is what you enjoy
It's all just a ploy
Some remain deadly n coy
Underneath eye see resident evil occupying ya host
A little Alicia, but way more clever wit deez Keyz that I stroke
Don't lose me, follow the smoke
Every word that I wrote is meant to provoke
Thought Woke people with a measure of scope
The ones who fill ballet boxes wit votes
Praying things change, knowing it won't
Angst builds, tensions fly!, sparkin' da tides
A solution, mandatory! if we wanna survive
If not
Prepare our blood to darken the sky
The ending is nye
We at da forefront of da line
