Buddha Avenue - Mic Check lyrics

rate me

[Verse 1: Buddha Avenue]

My Mind Racing My First Dream I Finally Faced It

Apologized For Going Astray And Not Facing It

It Replied, "Your Desire For Me You Left It Vacant

You Went Astray Because Of The Hate Of The Miseducated

See you Should Have Stayed Focused And Dedicated

You Had Potential, You Could Have Made It To This Destination

When You Reached For Me You Created A Beautiful Art

Your Mother And Father Created A Beautiful Heart

So It Killed Me When You Forgot Me And Went and Got Lost

And You Deserve Me Cause You Been Through A Whole Lot

But You're Suppose To Make Due With The Objects You Got

So Its No Excuse For Reasons You Chose To Stop

We All We Got But Its Clear You Must Of Forgot

And Yeah Apart Of You Died When Phatal Got Shot

Your Other Half Got Left Hanging With Leeotis

Malik Got Murdered And Him Too Was One Of Your Closes

Your Pain Run So Deep, Trust Me I Noticed

But Embrace It And Use It To Be One Of The Dopest

You Ain't Chose To Be A King But You're Oakland Hero

You Got The Gift To Breath Lif Inside Of The Hopeless

So We Need You TO Wake Up And Get Back Focused"

Right Then I Awoke From Out A Deep Slumber

Seen A Few Missed Calls From Some Unknown Numbers

Wipe Then Sweat Of My Face Then I Start To Wonder

[Hook]

Mic Check One Two One Two

Mic Check One Two One Two (Hey)

Mic Check One Two One Two

Mic Check One Two One Two (Hey)

[Verse 2: Buddha Avenue]

Mother And Father Your Son Finally Beat The Odds

Im Down On My Knees Making Peace With My God

I Know I Ain't Grow To Be A Christian Like You Wanted

But They Used That Same Religion To Enslave Me, So Can You Blame Me

Im Breaking The Links Off What Chained Me To A Ni$$A

But Right Before I Do I Get Chained To A Ni$$A

He Said He Facing Life While Im Dealing With Misdemeanors

Co Defendant Telling On Him No Chance He Seeing His Freedom

Seemed Defeated So I Told Him Stay Strong My Ni$$A

He Said Its Easy For You To Say You Going Home My Ni$$A

Right Then I Stopped And Thought About Everything We Been Through

Whips On Our Backs When It Seemed We Were Against You

Its A Long List Of What Me And My Ni$$as Been Through

But Some How Through It All Big Momma Discovered Soul Food

And Angelo Explained How He Wanted To Pursuit Law School

But Learned First Hand Exactly How The Law Do

People With Darker Skin Color They Just Wrongfully Judge You

Stuck Inside a System Where None Of These Folks Love You

Momma Momma No Longer Shall I Be A Ni$$a

Father Father My Tittle Is A Black Man

Aw Shit One Of My Ni$$as Calling

Forward The Call Cause I Know He On Some Straight Bull Shit

But Now He Thinking My Change Is Acting Funny

But I Always Gave Him Some Change When He Needed Money

Trying To Explain That The Old Life Is No Longer For Me

He Just A Ni$$a So Its Hard For Him To Connect With Me

I Converted From Ni$$as<br />
