| Badmon representin'
|
| Yo yo
|
| They say you never know what you got
|
| 'Til it’s all up and away
|
| And it’s so lonely at the top
|
| Sometimes you wanna throw it away
|
| But lately I’ve been talking to God
|
| He told me Heaven is a way better place
|
| So I’m taking everything that I’ve got
|
| And I’m running away, I’m running away
|
| I just can’t cope with the pain
|
| You just won’t understand
|
| Running away (away from here)
|
| I’m running away
|
| I just can’t cope with the pain
|
| You just won’t understand
|
| Running away (away from here)
|
| Gone like the wind, I can’t seem to win
|
| I know the end is near, but I just don’t know when
|
| Turn on to CNN, look at what I see again
|
| It’s another black man, died at the white hand of justice
|
| To tell the truth, man, I’m fuckin' disgusted
|
| I fear for the lives, for my sisters, my brothers
|
| Less fortunate than I, let’s formulate a plan
|
| I’m sick of holdin' grudges, I’m loadin' in all my slugs and
|
| Aimin' it at the judges, fuck the cops
|
| Fuck the system and the government, you fuckers not
|
| Protectin' and servin'
|
| You more like damagin' and hurtin'
|
| And letting off shots 'til you motherfuckers certain
|
| He ain’t breathin', you made it clear
|
| «Fuck your breath, nigga,» don’t even deserve air
|
| Don’t even deserve shit, don’t even deserve nothin'
|
| If black lives really mattered, you niggas would do somethin'
|
| Instead we mean nothin', in fact, we being hunted
|
| They don’t want us in abundance
|
| They know it’s strength in them numbers
|
| That’s why they gave you one
|
| The time is comin', no discussion
|
| If you ain’t got a gun, then you better start runnin'
|
| Run to the rock of my salvation (yeah, yeah, yeah)
|
| Run to the stone that the builder rejected (yeah, yeah, yeah)
|
| I run to aboriginal, Christ, Haile Selassie
|
| Hear them call some other name
|
| Them other guy nuh qualified
|
| A long long time mi see ah idiot a try
|
| Tell me America is the land of the free, that’s a lie
|
| 'Cause nobody, nuh free 'bout yah
|
| Bet how we leave Babylon, and go ah Ethiopia
|
| And if you don’t believe we can achieve that
|
| Then you is just another idiot or another
|
| Motherfucker, it’s the J-O-Z-I-F B-A-D-M-O-N
|
| Come on, bring them M’s on in
|
| I’m on the upside now, you can turn 'em M’s upside down
|
| We 'bout to win, there’s an L for the other side of him
|
| Most greats that you lost, I invite 'em in
|
| To my soul, don’t you feel the vibes when I’m channelin'?
|
| The innermost of my spirit been engulfed with plenty gold
|
| 'Cause most of them labels throw pennies so
|
| Who you think investin' in penitentiaries though?
|
| Same owners as them labels, same owners of your cable
|
| Spoon feedin' you fables, tryna keep your mind stable
|
| Your eyes blind, and your skin’s hazel
|
| The truth is under your nasal but even the air’s all fucked up
|
| How we supposed to see stars? |
| Chemical trails above us
|
| Plus bunch of other shit that’s undiscovered
|
| Detached from the roots since we set sail, my brothers
|
| That’s word to motherland, sold us on stolen land
|
| Visions from brother man, he seen us all holdin' hands
|
| Fifty years later, still see my brothers choked to death
|
| R.I.P. |
| to Eric Garner, only right I show respect
|
| Nowaday they hangin' us by a different tree
|
| Branches of the government, I can name all three
|
| Judicial, legislative and executive
|
| Lock your pops away, your moms, then next the kids
|
| It’s all consecutive, I’m just tryna break the cycle
|
| I wonder if I’ll do it all before they take my life, yo
|
| Crucify my image, the Lord is my witness
|
| If them Heaven’s gates closed
|
| I’ma break all them hinges for my niggas
|
| Yes, I’ma break all the hinges for my niggas
|
| Yes, I’ma break all the hinges for my niggas
|
| Yes, I’ma break all
|
| They say you never know what you got
|
| 'Til it’s all up and away
|
| And it’s so lonely at the top
|
| Sometimes you wanna throw it away
|
| But lately I’ve been talking to God
|
| He told me Heaven is a way better place
|
| So I’m taking everything that I’ve got
|
| And I’m running away, I’m running away
|
| I just can’t cope with the pain
|
| You just won’t understand
|
| Running away (away from here)
|
| I’m running away
|
| I just can’t cope with the pain
|
| You just won’t understand
|
| Running away (away from here)
|
| As fast as I can to Mount Zion
|
| I’m running away (I'm running away)
|
| I’m running away (I'm running away)
|
| I’m running away (I'm running away)
|
| I’m running away (I'm running away)
|
| I’m running away (I'm running away)
|
| I’m running away (I'm running away)
|
| Running away (I'm running away)
|
| Away, running away
|
| You better start running, running
|
| Babylon boy them ah coming, coming yeah
|
| You better start running, running
|
| Babylon is coming
|
| Babylon get jealous of we, of we
|
| Just because I walk this way
|
| Babylon get jealous of we, of we |
