Bop Alloy - Sketches of Pain lyrics
rate meFeat. Oma Pearl of Conjure Woman
(Verse)
Peace maker, son of a violent man
Dream chaser, raised on divided land
With these rapists, treated like I'm not a man
I behaving like weapons without a plans
Step balls, get off by a colport's hand
Life's shorter than an hour at hand
But the least of my worries be the Taliban
I'm hopin' that the past can assault rightful band
Both young, we come from license plan
The ones that are you really hold tight in hands
Violent cops and so called the Dorothy Figures
Friends with black skin, why callin' us nigga?
Six letters, can't define, girl we so much bigger
The path I walk, most would pretend that York is bigger
Back-up talk, but this brain is so much bigger
Master art, please oblige and ignore the picture
A path to talk, but of course my Porsche is bigger
Grab a stark, cause round here they don't deliver
Grab the chord, rather be engulfed than liquored
Lack support, and I wasn't born a winner
An afterthought, these underdawgs won't consider
A man - a god, who sit up on a throne the quicker
Scratch the card, reach the berry chord I'm sickin'
After ball, that's what fill the park with (???)
(Hook x2)
I'mma take this spinner and dealt with, and use it
This shit can't reach the stars if I don't fuel it
Without my music and art I be useless
Cause I always knew what I got to do
(Interlude)
You can't hide from who you are
(You can run, but you can't hide for ever) x2
Even on the highest peak, out in space, every place
Always leave a trace x2
(Verse)
(Sketches of Pain) self respect low
Guilty cats are reciting, self respect low
Lucky to be alive at the age of thirty-fo
Livin' it fast fast, men, is the God slow
IV pumpin' morphine in my bloodstream
I woke with a scratchy throat and groaghy from the ruff greens
Something's not right, nurse, can you help me sit up?
Felt like I was stabbed everytime I try to get up
Cristal day is bad, I can't even raise this limb up
Pain every minute, every moment that I pin up
When I told the fam, they looked at me like I'm thinner
Hush! I be damned if any take will make me give up
Wishin' I was home in my chair, anywhere but here
And baby girl completely unaware, lives without a care
It ain't fear when your child you can't even pick up
But I did it for her, so I keep my chin up
(Hook x2)
I'mma take this spinner and dealt with, and use it
This shit can't reach the stars if I don't fuel it
Without my music and art I be useless
Cause I always knew what I got to do
(Interlude)
You can't hide from who you are
(You can run, but you can't hide for ever) x2
Even on the highest peak, out in space, every place
Always leave a trace x2
