Raised to Be Lowered |
…To manifest your dreams before you manifest your fears |
To navigate beyond the treachery of self despair |
To find the balance between all you sense and all you see |
To find the patience and the strength it takes to let it be |
To stand amongst the crowd and have the strength to hold your own |
To throw away the pen and pad and simply be the poem |
To rise above hatred to love through seeming contradiction |
To seldom take a side and learn to compliment the friction |
To bring about the change within that we can’t live without |
To shift and re-arrange ideals and learn to deal with doubt |
To voice the victory and unlearn ways of self-defeat |
To learn the value of, «Yo, fuck the words just ride the beat» |
To leave the comfort zones of all you know to all you feel |
To step beyond the void and realize the unknown is real |
To re-imagine every obstacle as just means of honing craft and learn to laugh |
at failures funny dream |
There has to be some other way to stop the fight |
I was raised to be lowered |
Was I raised to be lowered? |
I was raised to be lowered |
Was I raised to be lowered? |
Each day we sing and pray for guidance through the night |
I was raised to be lowered |
Was I raised to be lowered? |
I was raised to be lowered |
Was I raised to be lowered? |
To not allow the worshippers to take up all the space |
To dance at funerals and grieve when true love shows its face |
To meditate upon the lesser things like hair and nails |
To find new meaning in your freedom when your freedom kills |
To walk the runway on the one day when you’ve lost your stride |
To show your face when you feel more inclined to run and hide |
To keep it gutter when you utter |
No, it won’t stop until the ones that point their guns at get got! |
You’re gonna get got! |
Let these niggas get got! |
Lying through the ?-top |
You’re lying on the have-not |
You’re gonna get got! |
Get popped, get Cocked |
Let these niggas get got. |
Let these niggas get got! |
There has to be some other way to stop the fight |
I was raised to be lowered |
Was I raised to be lowered? |
I was raised to be lowered |
Was I raised to be lowered? |
Each day we sing and pray for guidance through the night |
I was raised to be lowered |
Was I raised to be lowered? |
I was raised to be lowered |
Was I raised to be lowered? |
(Hallelujah) All these other suckas make me sick |
Inshallah we’ve come this far, the past can suck my dick |
Blessed be the virgin, especially if she’s nice and thick |
May your first time be full of grace, respect, and not a trick |
First communion. |
Sacred as the day you were conceived |
Born in sin? |
Nah, think again |
Repent and disbelieve |
Heaven is between your thighs |
There lies the trick |
Deceived holy blood shed once a month until you nurture seed |
…Was I raised to be lower? |
Was I raised to be lower? |
Was I raised to be lower? |
(Was I raised?) Was I raised to be lower? |
(Was I raised?) Was I raised to be lower? |
(Was I raised?) Was I raised to be lower? |
(Was I raised?) Was I raised to be lower? |
(Was I raised?) Was I raised to be lower? |
(Was I raised?) Was I raised to be lower? |
(Was I raised?) Was I raised to be lower? |
(Was I raised?) Was I raised to be lower? |
