kbfprince Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 (edited) Wrote this today, feedback appreciated. "Our Way" -KBF Rappers grind powder cause thats what it takes to survive And I can't blame em a choice between they lives or dies For those that buy, seizures are a norm part of a high That blocks out the part of the lies that burns em inside And I wonder why they dont spend their dollars more wise They comprimise, eatin food from the dump is worth the high And the desperate sighs and nighttime cries Pondering about a life that's not theirs to decide Whether they fight and abandon their husbands or wives And it starts cause rappers gotta survive On the street, ya come strong or face defeat Masquerading as something you ain't to make it thru the week These lil girls actin older, moaning from under the sheets Their innocence being leeched, from what men ask they beseech Now they in too deep, asking help from the Lord but they outta reach Gettin a real job is a big leap from under the heap Now they weep, but what they say, if ya laugh we with you But if you cry you alone like your used to, a who? Girls favorite color is blue cause its something they know about Know theyre due, but the baby surviving is a doubt And they wouldn't want the child to lead it's life Growin up like it's mommy learnin less about math and more about knives Listen to the piano keys, what ya baby could be A baby piano ge-nius gettin away from the street way like lee This is the way it is How our past been lived Chasin fugatives The ray of light gives In to the lure of contraceptives And we're not receptive To the cry of help we intercepted A bout of crime we let give Cause we have other in-i-tiatives Listen, polititians whose power we voted to give Look at your country, u banter bout how other countries live? Of course, we're the exceptions, some of us livin exception-al Some of us addiction of ty-lenol takin it til we're full Takin it to the bull, cause we fed up wit the way our country is What's mine and what's his, when we all heard about Dr. King ris- En for peace and unity in the nation he living in, we livin in Pay your divindends, a country divied is a sin, the one we livin' in Through our differences, through childhood pred-ju-dice Strolling through life, because of your race they'd hiss Or if ya dad used your money on drugs as often as he pissed You walk through school wit no books because of this My dad died when a vein in his head burst ruining the bliss I thought there was, but he had to go first, he insist-ed And it's hard knowin someone close is dead And it's harder knowin the gov wasn't read- Y even though they had all the technology to pinpoint Exactly where you are, but they can't get right to the point React to a natural diaster, it's a skill they gotta master Wit them it's speeches and vacations, mostly the latter And I got so much to say But I know it's just another day livin' our way Edited September 24, 2005 by kbfprince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfuqua23 Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 "And I wonder why they dont spend their dollars more wise" - that was just sucha dope line. " These lil girls actin older, moaning from under the sheets Their innocence being leeched, from what men ask they beseech" - that was great and so very true. "What's mine and what's his, when we all heard about Dr. King ris- En for peace and unity in the nation he living in, we livin in Pay your divindends, a country divied is a sin, the one we livin' in" - that was top notch flow, and I would love hear these lines time and time again. I'd probably be reciting it. The song is amazing. You really put the female's voice out and for people to listen. The lyrics were great.
