Revolutionary Died |
| Hook |
| I got some tragic news today/ |
| Real manhood has died, they say/ |
| But you can wipe your tears away/ |
| A Revolution is formed another will be born/ |
| I got some tragic news today/ |
| Real manhood has died, they say/ |
| But you can wipe your tears away/ |
| A new one is born so bring in the song/ |
| I am changed escapin’my old ways/ |
| Harriet Tubman on that underground train/ |
| Too many men see the grave misinterpreting brave/ |
| I could loose those chains if they knew they were slaves/ |
| I thought a man was a pimp at a young age/ |
| Now I try to honor women when the pen hits the page// |
| Its still hip-hop minus all the thuggin/ |
| Take the poet and priest and put it in a husband/ |
| Not boasting I’m far from perfect/ |
| I’m just saying give the title to some cats who deserve it/ |
| I know some men earned it/ |
| Some strong role models who knows GOD’s purpose/ |
| I know one song can’t change the world/ |
| But maybe dude next door’ll stop beatin’his girl/ |
| And maybe we can get some brothas out trap/ |
| I just wanna change my block we’ll see what happens after that/ |
| My cuzzo like I can make that dollar pretty quick/ |
| Illegal stuff, I tell him he should work for it/ |
| He looked me up down and stuck his mouth to the side/ |
| Like c’mon you know you done I lost my mind/ |
| He wants High Living but was forced in the basement/ |
| Lets face it this is what racism has created/ |
| I told my dog you’ll never catch the car don’t chase it/ |
| So many kill themselves in world trying to make it/ |
| Your appetite will eat you when you get a chance to taste it/ |
| Their cups look full, but their lives look Wasted/ |
| A fully furnished house but your soul feels vacant/ |
| get some new thngs but feel the need to replace it/ |
| yeah, this is man’s ordeal/ |
| Decorate his frame to make himself feel real/ |
| Or rob, steal, kill/ |
| Any emotion is good as long as I feel/ |
| No sir that’s aint what manhood is/ |
| Life without morals and fruitless end/ |
| I took him under my wing now the journey begin/ |
| Hopefully another man can be born again/ |
| This cat asking me how many shawties I tap/ |
| I know you get a lot of play even in gospel rap/ |
| I wasn’t too shocked if my discernments was right/ |
| He type that hasn’t seen a brother honor his wife/ |
| So instead of calling him stupid and causing a fight/ |
| Just explained to this brother things I value in life/ |
| He confused cuz he said you don’t look like the type/ |
| That really lives all the stuff that you say on the mic / |
| He’s doubting my words like he needs some proof/ |
| Plus he struggles with the idea of absolute truth/ |
| He won’t practice those things which he don’t esteem/ |
| If he hates absolute truth then he’s the Supreme being/ |
| Then he has no standards, then he has no answers/ |
| So his contributions in life is just prostate cancer/ |
| I try to answer every question that he throws my way/ |
| Hopefully another real man will be born today/ |
