Angels - Marvell

I thank God for the air I breathe

I thank God for the things I see

Nickname’s Double S but the real name’s Bashir

Get a chair and just hear my piece

I been walking this world about 23 years

So I don’t fear what I hear and see

'Cause fears false evidence appearing real

And I feel that if you get it out we’ll see

All the heavens and the angels

But everybody moves like?

ain’t able

Everybody judges, everybody wants a label

But that ain’t really bringing nothing to the table, no

They’re just too busy craving attention

They don’t even have the right intention

They’re just tryna get a name for the mention

Not to mention that all the odds are against them

(Uh) Niggas with dreams

Go together like killers with thieves

Have you ever been to my estate

Where niggas get held like silicon sleeves

Hazardous wives

Go together like drama for life

Whatever happened to the innocent brides who swore to keep faith

But another man’s nice

Everyone’s had a portion of her

All I care is why you’re talking to her

Disturbed about what I’m surrounded by

We live the pound hoping it multiplies

My Uncle dies, stuck in that nine-to-five

My engines down when I ain’t got the drive

My son’s watching now, I ain’t got the time

I think for ways I could make up the time

When I leave this world for heaven

Will they appreciate my presence

I wanna fly with the Angels

Please send me an Angel (x2)

Look, I gotta make it to heaven

There’s no way I’m staying here

Earth’s getting worse

I can’t spend another day in here

People go Church

Do they really pray in there?

I’m kinda concerned for the words that they say in there

'Cause when they go cash point and get their money out

They act like they can’t see the guy laying there

We all wanna see a drive-by shooting

But we don’t care about the kids that are playing there

When I hit these clubs

All I here is party

But peace and love will never get a play in there

I couldn’t give a fuck about the charts

Or the court case

Their intention is just to get a play in there

And these kids don’t care about school

If school was about sex they’d probably get an A in there

And the people that are leading us are blind

They do what they feel, they get their own way in there

I’m living on a planet where we don’t understand it

And the ones that are good are the most satanic

And the ones that are bad, oh God it’s so manic

I’ll be good and bad

I’ll just try to keep a balance

If I say something real?

??

You can be Pusha T

Or even be Malice

You can end up in the streets or end up in a palace

'Cause thsi game’s fucking Wonderland

And everyone ain’t Alice

Tryna make it out of here

'Cause that’s my only challenge

What we’re doing on this planet’s irreversible damage

Well I’m tired of the madness

Tired of the sadness

All this war in the world

I wish we never had this

I’m looking in the mirror like 'why can’t they get along?'

Nah, with all this separation and dogma

I’m feeling like a dog, ma

God spelled backwards that’s dog

I swear they ain’t scared of God

Power is secret

Anyone that has power over you has secrets

Information changes situations

So the information, they keep it

What’s taking place in the physical is shallow

But what’s going on in the spiritual is the deepest

Earth is in a state of an emergency

And it’s up to us to clean it

Christ paid the price with his life

Martin told us to stand up for our rights

And Ghandi told us to use peace instead of weapons

I hope when we leave this world that our souls…

Go to heaven
