Message Over to You Now

I spit bars
Bars around the window
Bars around the front door
Coming from the ghetto
Back when my poppa used to pull me by my ear drum
Just hearing my name in his accent let me fear some (maaark)
Bamboo whippings, microwave chickens
Always had a vision, of obtaining my millions
By the grace of Christ, I live right
Forgive me for my sins committed just last night
Seems to always make a way, despite my dismal dismay
Most will hesitate to meditate when I rather pray
Behind lyrics that's prison... bars
You can feel it just like the scars
When it comes to taking advice
I think twice
Put my faith and trust in Christ... and that's life
Sure as the sun rise, raising like high tides
Gravitational pull movement for black lives
Coptic, I'm baptized, I live and relate
Oppression for years has been heavy in weight
Watching the streets burn or go out in faith
Avoiding the crooked path and keeping it straight

"Message over to you now"
Just trying to give you that good word
"Message over to you now"
We see enough negativity as it is, know what I mean?
This ain't your Oskie Woskie, Whippa snappa typa...
"Message over to you now"

Former slave owner statue, take that down!
Throw it in the river where he once had bound
Africans and sold us into slavery
Centuries prior how irronically
We...
In 2020 got a black infrantry
Looking like the panthers
Repeat history
All we want is peace and understanding
Karens and Kevin's going viral for how they're acting
Trying to justify their hate
Wearing red hats: Keep America Great
Never was it, nor is it now
Still waiting on Breonna's killers to stand trial

Race wars, we're seeing global pandemics
"Message over to you now"
Just make sure your right with God that's all I can tell you.
"Message over to you now"
