To Grow - SA-ROC

Let the choir sing and can I get a amen?

We made another day so

Now the congregation breathes

And lights another candle for the fallen man

And their voices cry a river through the echo of their harmonies

And those who remain standing on the rubble

Now branded with the scars of battle

Candidly developed thru the dark room

Their images a stark view of life under the bell jar

Sylvia ain’t know the half of where our hell start where

Shots ring when angels get their wings and devils on patrol use bodies for

targeting.

Shit

We almost make this thing seem rather easy

So cool while yo crew coon for tv

While our grandmothers weep in their graves

Their memories deeply in vain

There’s change brewing and the remedy is steeped in our pain.

I’ll sleep when

I’ve lain in the belly of the earth, until

Then I’ll keep beating on your brain til I’m heard

HOOK:

If you know what I know

Then you won’t be afraid to grow

If your mind is on high

You won’t scared to fly

I used to be afraid of revealing my feelings freely

I put a cap on emotions- hoping they’re trapped by the ceiling.

Impact of the

worlds weight was too much for my shoulders, like atlas I held my fate cuz I

failed to embrace my blessed healing

And building don’t seem to be an option no more

Everytime we lay the mortar, bricks are knocked to the floor

So pyramids are still in utero, dreams are now aborted

While prolifers shame us so their ghosts are haunting our thoughts

Am I guilty-of course

I’ve strayed from the course

When empty pages make me question my choice

And I leave the mic alone

Leave the babies souls exposed to withstand the fight alone

I can’t do it

That’s something my conscience will not condone

So I pledge allegiance to the freedom fighters blood that won’t settle in my

bones

I do it for every ghetto imbedded with broken homes

And better my flow with every poem that I propose

And hope that you get my letters addressed to the future, gone

HOOK:

If you know what I know

Then you won’t be afraid to grow

If your mind is on high

You won’t scared to fly

I’m not the last but I’m last of dying breed

The most wanted mc born of a dire need

I want you all to feel what really inspires me

I hold up the mirror so you’re reflected inside of me

I write to give life to these rhymes they just might be the kind to free a

nation-pass the mic and I’ll try

To make a thinker out an idling mind

They say im out of my mind

To think we can be saved with music

I’ll prove you wrong on my release date

See you on that Tuesday

I’ll be with them fives slinging hope like them white cakes.

shaking sleeping

gods and hoping that they might wake

With heavy enough bars to rattle on the light-weight

How many times have I advised you

To take heed and to allow your eyes to

Widen to the possibilities of

Freedom thru a major melody set to minor keys

Well here you have it

P. s.
