Caged Birdsong |
Yeah |
There’s few things that I |
I wanna get off my chest |
So I’ma get 'em off |
The drugs the streets the thugs that beat they women |
The hate and the violence the guns the bullets that sent them |
The ice the jewels the fools that’s killing to get them |
Or heist with tools strategically placed in their denim |
The corner, the store, the spirits, the wine, the liquor |
The sinning, it’s venom, it’s making society sicker |
The henny, the 'tron, the dale, the goose, the crown |
The pimps is up, the hoes is usually down |
The kids in the hall that piss in the corner, the rats |
The chicks be watching, the watchers be watching them back |
The fatherless babies, the mothers that live in despair |
The tenement builders with roaches just chilling in there |
The silence is never the sirens be scraping the air |
It kills to ignore it but it doesn’t hurt you to care |
It hurts to ignore it but it doesn’t kill you to care |
It kills to ignore it but do you |
No |
You have a soul |
And it’s worth more than gold |
Worth more than gold |
Hoping you’re mine |
Let it unfold |
And you will find |
Treasures untold |
That are worth more than gold |
If heaven is a place on earth |
Then there ain’t no way a dollar could replace your worth |
I hope you know that you’re priceless |
This life gets the point that you feel like |
You could point your steel right to the temple |
It’s so simple |
The capitol hill is the capital killers |
Bills passed to bill us back for stamps and keys |
The system is so diseased |
Ain’t a vaccine to cure it |
And if your skin like mine, we gonna have to endure it |
Until we can birth a new nation |
Mature it to the level of ancient African civilizations |
Half of us up in this nation |
Now I know about the hoops we share |
Peace to my people who’s already there |
It’s a family affair, sisters and brothers of one soul |
Before we hit the heavens above, this world gold |
Before we hit the heavens above, this world gold |
Before we hit the heavens, do you |
Know |
You have a soul |
And it’s worth more than gold |
Worth more than gold |
Just let me help you |
Carry your load |
Open your heart |
Share what it holds |
Cause it’s worth more than gold |
The wait is up now |
I’m throwing it around |
The hate you handing out |
I throw it to the ground |
Too black, too strong for this |
Never thought that I would sit and write a song to this |
But what you expect when a hunger in your stomach so strong |
That when you hear the radio you wanna vomit |
And when you look at the TV your heart plummet |
It shame me to see how they be showing us on it |
