I started rhyming just to be somebody
|
to make people notice me at the party
|
and not be just the new kid that's albino
|
make em say yeah I know but have you heard him rhyme though
|
now take that same party around the globe
|
and my stories connected with a lot of folks
|
I hope so cause that's the only thing I know
|
I know it so well I tell it with my eyes closed
|
and I go with the feeling from the start
|
blind in the eye so I see you with my heart
|
and to me all yall look exactly the same fear faith compassion and pain
|
and try as we may to mask it remains
|
such as your religion or your past and your race
|
the same color blood just pass through our veins
|
and tears taste the same when they splash on your face
|
The worlds getting too small to stand in one place
|
its like we're roommates just sharing a space
|
can't separate and still carry the weight
|
gotta heal get away from the fear and the hate
|
gotta shake free from the chains
|
you see what remains
|
just a human being end of the day
|
don't matter to me what name you gave your spiritual plane
|
close your eyes and you'll see what I'm saying
|
I started rhyming just to be somebody
|
found out that I already was
|
cause can't nobody be free unless we're all free
|
there's no me and no you its just us
|
Street preacher what a fan once called me
|
I been called worse and tried to live up
|
hope you don't mind a few more stories
|
I swear to god yall I tell em with love
|
