La Canción del Santo

Uhh
Hustler's Plight
Uhh
Yea

See lately
Something strange its been up in the air
I can't tell if it's me or if we all feel it near
A shifting of sorts
My cohorts and myself
We all can't sit still
No tellin' if the world we knew could change into our pill
Drugged up off of memories
We try to set more boundaries
But everyday
Evilous minds in serious times
Wanna hit us for 6
Consistent lixx
Torturous like tortoise joining hare running group
Wanna know the truth
Boy They want your hair dipped in goop
Look in a mirror don't see yourself
Depictions from Massa
You in your heart on a shelf
Left ventricle open into a hallway of resentment
Pictures been littering
Filled with moments you came last
Regrets mountain high
Stacked up taller than yuh eye could cast
Life could grip your heart until
Grief
Set in
Make you wonder where each story begin
Begin
Make you wonder where each story begin

Tell me what's real or what's fake
No tellin' who relate to the song of a saint
Deep down in my heart only wanted to be great
Lord is this my fate
Will I be up there with the greats
Don't want to lose my soul in these waters
Cannot drown or go under
But the boat is rocking, I can't see my way
Lord give me a sign
I'm desperate to survive and to thrive
Is there winning as real nigga today
Hmm let's play

X on my back just because I'm
Fed up
I might slip but I know I got's to get up
Better
Make 'em all say yo
Who's that
Yea now who dat
Coming with the fire first
Came in to inspire worse
Came to cash not to check
Down in d fire bin
Dawg in the fire been
Unburnt. Skin dark but don't look burnt
Can't touch this - Shadrack
Mi sack mi shack and I burn dat hoe
Remnant of slavery
Forward and go
Redeem my soul from da foreign hold
Redeem my soul from da foreign gold
My goal set to attain
Vision passed by ancestors to the torch I lay claim
Set a flame and come in as I sing it again
Set flame, let the flame grow, fire begin
Not so shameful, we higher we chin
All d chain broke, we gather to sing
Songs of freedom in gleedom
We lead ourselves on
Before we listen someone else
Our eyes already fallen
Forgetting our song
Lustful of our neighbour and our brother things that we been wanting
Stunted
Spiritually dead
Over physically feed
Eye see red
Blood on the page as we sign over deeds
But I Can't do this no
Like Haize I cannot be
Another to fall prey
System set up, get up fresher
More pressure everyday
I could pray but do my prayers work
Do I have to get up in first gear first
Let it rev up as I tear face first through the cracks
Glass ceilings look so lax
Easier to look up than to jump at the task
First to come last is a leader
Show us all what not to do
How to be wrong
In the truth there's only two
One and you
The truth and the lie
What do you do
Faced with a choice to be right or take flight
What the real you gonna do
Is there winning if I swear to tell the truth
Can I be honest and still prosper in this world of all untruths
Is it possible to suffer at the hands of the good
Cause I'm lost I took a stand now paying like I'm Robin Hood
Dawg
C'mon Father Lord tell me why it is
That I'm paying like a sinner man when I'm tryna live how He lived

Tell me what's real or what's fake
No tellin' who relate to the song of a saint
Deep down in my heart only wanted to be great
Lord is this my fate
Will I be up there with the greats
Don't want to lose my soul in these waters
Cannot drown or go under
But the boat is rocking, I can't see my way
Lord give me a sign
I'm desperate to survive and to thrive
Is there winning as real nigga today
Let's pray

(The conditions of the poor indians and negroes)
Is there winning, is there, is there
Is there winning as a real nigga today (Was nothing short of subhuman)
Yea, is there winning as a real nigga today (It was clearly a case for) ay-ay
(An early rectification) is there winning as a real nigga today
(But how to do it?)
