| Deliver me oh my father
|
| Haha, Amadea
|
| Sizzla Kalonji
|
| Talib Kweli
|
| What? |
| What? |
| Yeah
|
| Deliver me from temptation, a weakened man facin
|
| You put the spirit in me, I feel the sensation
|
| Die on my feet before I live on my knees lord
|
| Deliver me from point A to B like livery
|
| Nothin is free, you got to be a hero to save
|
| They got you working like a slave from the crib to the grave
|
| A minimum wage can barely keep a job for a home
|
| A car or a phone, forget about gettin a loan
|
| You starting to moan, your bank account is getting withdrawn
|
| It’s pitiful how we becomin slaves to things that we own
|
| They en-slavin the brains with the whips and the chains
|
| End up in the coffin chasing the fortune, chasing the fame
|
| Slave to the rhythm, slave to the night, slave to the day
|
| They hop aboard the Underground Railroad and run away
|
| Pray for the day niggas don’t get taken away
|
| For makin a way to stop their baby’s stomach aching today
|
| I sip a whiskey straight, no chase
|
| It’s hard to take a man away from the sin when it’s inside of him
|
| Please
|
| Yes, yes
|
| Deliver me from the evil that’s all around me
|
| Jamaica to King’s County, God
|
| Yes, yes, yes
|
| Deliver me from temptation, a weakened man facin
|
| You put the spirit in me, I feel the sensation
|
| Dance through my soul and let my days go right
|
| He can preserve me all the days of my life
|
| With the strength to wake through another day so bright
|
| Oh! |
| Kalonji, Talib
|
| They say nothing’s wrong with doing sin in your mind
|
| I reach myself and see what’s there for my kind
|
| And look around and see, don’t be acting blind
|
| This is the birthing of us, it’s just not kind
|
| Now what’s the worst thing a man could ever price
|
| Pay his life for something he didn’t do like the missing mice
|
| Listen up, you know growing up I’ll tell you something
|
| He won’t like you in the deepest of dungeon
|
| Take away from my periods, leave me by myself
|
| Life is like a dot com, but the blue in my eyes
|
| Aired by your love from but your feuds are hopeless!
|
| You got a lot of bid, that’s how it went
|
| What? |
| What?
|
| Deliver me from the evil that’s all around me
|
| Jamaica to King’s County, God
|
| Yes, yes, yes
|
| Deliver me from temptation, a weakened man facin
|
| You put the spirit in me, I feel the sensation
|
| Plug in the mic like I’m gunnin a bike
|
| Front if you like, I’m movin fast, my life is runnin the lights
|
| I give my son some advice
|
| Eyes on the prize, keep more with the one in your sight
|
| Won’t win the gunfight if you brung you a knife
|
| I’m drawin blood from the rock and keep floodin the block
|
| With rhymes that are sharper than the razor that be cuttin the box
|
| For sure I gotta move niggas with rocks in their socks
|
| The prostitutes sellin the shit right in front of the cops
|
| Under the street lamp, walking through the rain until our feet damp
|
| Single moms all line at the office because they need stamps
|
| Your cousin out of jail, he spent his time finding God
|
| With a felony kinda charge it’s kinda hard to find a job
|
| He gotta make a decision, the situation he’s placed in
|
| As he’s gotta get that gainful employment for his probation
|
| Otherwise he’s just another part of the scenery
|
| Just because you got out of jail, that don’t mean you free
|
| What? |
| What?
|
| Deliver me from the evil that’s all around me
|
| Jamaica to King’s County, God
|
| Gotta survive and sustain and that ain’t right
|
| And everywhere you go they want to give you a fight
|
| Gotta survive and sustain and that’s for sure
|
| And every minute sees I’m coming at the bar
|
| Oh yeah…
|
| I got to reach out and look
|
| And keep my seed by my side
|
| Uh, yeah
|
| Life’s a reality
|
| Sizzla Kalonji, Talib Kweli |
