Gone and left me
|
And IĄŻm feelinĄŻ mighty low (x4)
|
|
The current state of events has me depressed
|
I used be accessed by the best
|
But now the worst has me stressed
|
And believe me friend there is no exaggeration
|
I was created as a medium for poetic communication
|
I was born in the US as an original culture
|
IĄŻm definitely art, but not a painting or a sculpture
|
I used to be positive, now IĄŻm suffering depression
|
Way to much corruption in this poetic expression
|
People used to love rockinĄŻ shows and it showed
|
Once money was involved I traveled on a rocky road
|
The love has left me
|
Now IĄŻm feeling awfully empty
|
And the ones who abused me are driving off in a Bentley
|
IĄŻm thought to be ignorant by the mainstream
|
ĄŽCause misrepresentation and misconceptions remained seen
|
All I want is for people to embrace me
|
And if it doesnĄŻt happen I want the history books to erase me
|
ItĄŻs a shame that they use my name in vein often
|
And itĄŻs because of me a few people are in a coffin
|
As an individual IĄŻm dastardly lonely
|
I wish that somebody would actually master the ceremony
|
Without being phony and coming with the real
|
Instead of chasing all the money and ignoring the skill
|
The love has definitely gone considerably
|
So IĄŻll let it be and simply drown in my misery
|
|
IĄŻm feelin mighty low
|
And IĄŻm feelin mighty low(x4)
|
|
IĄŻm still sad
|
I feel bad blatantly
|
I canĄŻt watch TV without somebody raping me
|
And itĄŻs tough to be constantly violated
|
The return to my true state is what IĄŻve long awaited
|
ItĄŻs really not easy being in an exploited culture
|
Everyone bites ideas like rode kill to vultures
|
People have taken me so far from my essence
|
Like going from being the kings men to the peasants
|
Our presence is felt by the dedicated
|
To all the rest is big business like federated
|
IĄŻm heart broken
|
But there is no need to start coping,
|
I stopped coping a long time ago and I started choking
|
On the tear drops that wouldnĄŻt stop fallen from my face
|
'Cause it seems that i have no place, a fallen disgrace
|
All the love is lost
|
And what it cost to pay
|
To be tossed away
|
Like tea in the Boston bay lost today
|
But hopefully found tomorrow
|
IĄŻd hate to go out and openly profound sorrow
|
But thatĄŻs the way itĄŻs headed and thatĄŻs the fate IĄŻm dreaded
|
And when IĄŻm dead and gone give me my belated credit
|
I feel no reason to live
|
Why should I exist and get ignored and yet continue to give
|
All I want is for people to acknowledge me the respect
|
Signing off hip hop now solemnly reflect
|
|
IĄŻm feelin mighty low
|
And IĄŻm feelin mighty low(x4)
