As the curtain rises I close my eyes and ask the Gods to be my guides tonight. As many times as I have done this still the rhymes ain’t right. If I could make that song that sums me up in 48, it’d be the last lines I write. Cause there’s a well of emotions inside of me that rivals the Nile River the current wants to take me under it just might. So let me grip this mic and turn my words to life preservers survival guides to lead the lost and lonely towards the light. I am me. I live not for glory. No BET award me while Pulitzers for my story. Cause money ain’t gon’ change the danger of driving while Black. And dollar bills ain’t gonna hide the families ravaged by crack. I’m still reeling from that, and they do not want to hear me, too conscious of my conscious and that’s just too much revealing. They want mere bravado to take the place of true feeling. No I will not twirk for you, but I will invoke for you. Light a Black & Mild and pour this water on the earth for you. Cause Malcolm ain’t foresee this. Niggas on the red carpet grinning for the most flicks. Offering up their souls to whoever got the most hits. And we still out here, waiting for a savior to speak for us, but their note pads is full of empty pages but I got a mouth full of anticdotes and sage advise. So put this joint on repeat so babies can hear it twice. And maybe that’ll spark a flame that will refuse to be contained so freedom can come from pain and we’ll no longer be censored, they’ll be forced to see the ugly truth and the beauty that we’ve invented. I’m venting every time I step into this sound booth. If I don’t let it out then my vocals will become sound proof. Then I can tell the lil girls that their minds are what’s treasured and worth is not to be determined by their behinds that we measure well. That’s just my two cents. Not sure who can hear me. But I hope it’s not in vain, the introduction to the real me. - @sarocthemc #Babylon #GatesofIshtar
Why am I just now hearing this band? I'm behind on good music, clearly.
