Lyrics Angels - Marvell

Angels

I thank God for the air I breathe
I thank God for the things I see
Nickname’s Double S but the real name’s Bashir
Get a chair and just hear my piece
I been walking this world about 23 years
So I don’t fear what I hear and see
'Cause fears false evidence appearing real
And I feel that if you get it out we’ll see
All the heavens and the angels
But everybody moves like?
ain’t able
Everybody judges, everybody wants a label
But that ain’t really bringing nothing to the table, no
They’re just too busy craving attention
They don’t even have the right intention
They’re just tryna get a name for the mention
Not to mention that all the odds are against them
(Uh) Niggas with dreams
Go together like killers with thieves
Have you ever been to my estate
Where niggas get held like silicon sleeves
Hazardous wives
Go together like drama for life
Whatever happened to the innocent brides who swore to keep faith
But another man’s nice
Everyone’s had a portion of her
All I care is why you’re talking to her
Disturbed about what I’m surrounded by
We live the pound hoping it multiplies
My Uncle dies, stuck in that nine-to-five
My engines down when I ain’t got the drive
My son’s watching now, I ain’t got the time
I think for ways I could make up the time
When I leave this world for heaven
Will they appreciate my presence
I wanna fly with the Angels
Please send me an Angel (x2)
Look, I gotta make it to heaven
There’s no way I’m staying here
Earth’s getting worse
I can’t spend another day in here
People go Church
Do they really pray in there?
I’m kinda concerned for the words that they say in there
'Cause when they go cash point and get their money out
They act like they can’t see the guy laying there
We all wanna see a drive-by shooting
But we don’t care about the kids that are playing there
When I hit these clubs
All I here is party
But peace and love will never get a play in there
I couldn’t give a fuck about the charts
Or the court case
Their intention is just to get a play in there
And these kids don’t care about school
If school was about sex they’d probably get an A in there
And the people that are leading us are blind
They do what they feel, they get their own way in there
I’m living on a planet where we don’t understand it
And the ones that are good are the most satanic
And the ones that are bad, oh God it’s so manic
I’ll be good and bad
I’ll just try to keep a balance
If I say something real?
??
You can be Pusha T
Or even be Malice
You can end up in the streets or end up in a palace
'Cause thsi game’s fucking Wonderland
And everyone ain’t Alice
Tryna make it out of here
'Cause that’s my only challenge
What we’re doing on this planet’s irreversible damage
Well I’m tired of the madness
Tired of the sadness
All this war in the world
I wish we never had this
I’m looking in the mirror like 'why can’t they get along?'
Nah, with all this separation and dogma
I’m feeling like a dog, ma
God spelled backwards that’s dog
I swear they ain’t scared of God
Power is secret
Anyone that has power over you has secrets
Information changes situations
So the information, they keep it
What’s taking place in the physical is shallow
But what’s going on in the spiritual is the deepest
Earth is in a state of an emergency
And it’s up to us to clean it
Christ paid the price with his life
Martin told us to stand up for our rights
And Ghandi told us to use peace instead of weapons
I hope when we leave this world that our souls…
Go to heaven
