Crooked I - Light Up Freestyle lyrics

rate me

Is it my fault I go deeper than most you rappers can

Send prayers to all the families in Pakistan

Let em build the mosque over by ground zero

Every Muslim in America does not support the Taliban

First off, I'm a political boss

Take Malcolm Little then cross him with my criminal false

I'd done seen the houses niggas done bought

I'm a take it further, I'm about to go live in a vault

Yea, living like a greedy vulture

Cut me deep enough and find some Afrocentric culture

All about peace when I approach ya

If the elephant in the room is beef, consider me the poacher

Yea, this is for La Raza

Talking to revolutionaries in Swahili or Ruru Sasa

Always keep a bad chick in mi casa

Shouts out to my homegirl Leassa

Nah, I'm not the dude you assume

I been here even before leaving my mothers womb

I oh so been here for many moons

That's why my body's missing from my Egyptian tomb

Listen, what if Coretta Scott never buried her husband

What if there was never a need for Harriet Tubman

Prejudice is how some Americans function

Then the sheriffs come and lock me up for carrying guns in

Ever since we got a black president

They say racism is dead, well where's the evidence

Sean Bell, Oscar Grant, what do they represent

Huh? My skins is hated as it's ever been

And since God made me black instead of white

I keep a burner like Turner, I mean Nat instead of Ike

Rappers can unite every race under the sun

Hand wrapped around a mic, homie I'm the one

East side, Long beach, the son of a Osiris

Dropped outta mystery school although my grades were the highest

They gon' mention Crook in history fool, maybe I'm biased

Cause he is I and I am your highness

Bow down in the presence of a Pharaoh

Strike a peasant in the heart with a golden bow and arrow

44 in the apparel, I will blow a barrel

Shake the dice on the flo', oh I am taking your Deniro

I used to eat peanut butter out the jar

Now it's peanut butter guts when my doors ajar

In the gorgeous car, pull up the Porsche and park

In the Beverly Hills oyster bar, the boys a star
