Self Savior |
| New Chace Infinite, Talib Kweli, yeah |
| Music courtesy of, Maurice 'Mo Betta' Brown |
| Mo Betta, makes it mo' better, yeah |
| Preacher’s playing foul in the system now listen now |
| It’s more hate in the religious now ain’t it foul |
| Gotta be a better way to figure out |
| How to be a self savior plus help my niggas out |
| These pigs playin foul in the system now listen now |
| Every poor person is a nigga now |
| There’s gotta be a better way to figure out |
| How to get this paper cause they lockin all my niggas down |
| How do expect to live? |
| Dealin with savages is damagin |
| Somebody gotta lose although you play to win |
| You know these niggas hate, despite the color of your face |
| When I say nigga I’m just speakin on your mental state |
| Life ain’t a game if it is I can’t participate |
| Maybe I’ve changed but my mind is in a different state |
| Cause now it seems more like a plan |
| I’m strivin for perfection, so that’s where I’ll begin |
| Your tallies and peaks and valleys can’t describe who I am |
| This music is therapeutic, I define who I am |
| Through the actions I portray as a man in combination |
| With impressions I leave on people through things that I’ve said |
| I’ve had it up to here with the bullshit |
| So when I rap I sound like I’m in the pulpit |
| Yeah; |
| they say that I be preachin too much |
| But I know that through the music’s how you teach it to us |
| It’s all real |
| Preacher’s playing foul in the system now listen now |
| It’s more hate in the religious now ain’t it foul |
| Gotta be a better way to figure out |
| How to be a self savior plus help my niggas out |
| These pigs playin foul in the system now listen now |
| Every poor person is a nigga now |
| There’s gotta be a better way to figure out |
| How to get this paper cause they lockin all my niggas down |
| True indeed Chace; |
| they tried to get rid of me (say word) |
| But they can’t write me off, I’m not a charity |
| That’s a parody right? |
| You kiddin me |
| There really ain’t no challenge, my authenticity |
| Virtually guarantee me a flawless victory, you kiddin me? |
| I’m lethal, I’m from a people who was forced into captivity |
| Original man, there was often a facsimile |
| I give a little more than your metaphors and wack similes |
| Thousand yard stare, say a prayer for my enemy |
| I’m international, half of these rappers laughable |
| It’s tragic how the other half so vaginal |
| They put the style over substance, they counsel bother me |
| My style married my substance and now they livin in harmony |
| But any substance can be abused |
| Especially when the style is so seductive |
| The substance consider leaving you |
| You gotta get back to your essence |
| Use your gifts and share your presence |
| Don’t count your dollars 'til you count your blessings |
| Preacher’s playing foul in the system now listen now |
| It’s more hate in the religious now ain’t it foul |
| Gotta be a better way to figure out |
| How to be a self savior plus help my niggas out |
| These pigs playin foul in the system now listen now |
| Every poor person is a nigga now |
| There’s gotta be a better way to figure out |
| How to get this paper cause they lockin all my niggas down |
