Murs - I'm Innocent lyrics

rate me

What up though? It's MURS and, it seems like nobody's trying man

There's kids dying in Sudan and nobody cares man

At least I'm trying, man

Look, don't ever let the fact that you can't be perfect

Stop you from doing your best

MURS for President

Unless we try, the innocent will die

You can't close your eyes, keep living in a lie

Look, we not helpless

We not hopeless

Said a prayer for the homie, locked up and wrote this

He got to get out and change his ways

While I'm looking for a way to explain these days

It's trying time

I'm trying to rhyme

But so many fascinated with this life of crime, hah

Look, I'm dying to be different

Down to die to make a difference

Music for the movement with a message upliftin'

Went from set-trippin' to trips around the world

Opportunities are oysters, you might find a pearl

You can't be scared to take that chance

Cause if you rather knock twice then you late for the dance

You gotta, move with urgency, assert with certainty

Ask me if I'm set to serve, I say, "Certainly"

Higher than the kite, I'm high off life

At the height of my career, a high priest on mics

I'm anti-thug and anti-drugs

Brought peace to the party and got anti-love

But haters so antiquated, I anticipated

Accepted it internally, had 9th interpolate it

He chopped it up and laid it in a session and he played it

I wrote, recorded to it, now look what we created

A hot mess

I'm hot off the press

You yesterday's news, dude you just not fresh

You cold coffee, you wet cigarettes

I'm a shot of espresso and hot morning sex

Early to rise and the last to fall

The best thing for black youths since the basketball

Word to Kurtis Blow, you gotta know "The Breaks"

And if you don't know your history, I know your fate

Uh, look

Been here a minute, be around a while longer

Every rhyme invented, my style got stronger

Grayskull Power when I spray soul showers

While you battle rap cats, just lay low cowards

Oh, you mad cause I'm stylin' on you

Love songs one minute, then I'm wildin' on you

That's "The Pain" you gotta "Love And Appreciate"

I'm a "Bad Man", you "Silly Girls" need to get it straight

Small guys, denying this is my world

Your girlfriend call herself a "Dark-Skinned White Girl"

Got a 9th beat

Man come on

He hear me in the sample before he even through the drum on

Run-on sentence

I'm the best period

He pull the track out, I'll black out I'm not hearing it

Nada, nothing, the negative zone

And if you can't do better, you should let it alone

I want it more than you

I want it, I want it right now

I'm wanted in 48 states for this style

It's sicker than syringes, streamlined with strychnine

Vegan diet, healthy heart and soul with a sick mind

Inclined to flip split minds when I spit rhymes

So go ahead kick yours, hope I don't kick mine

At 50-yard line against the wind through the uprights

While you just choke and can't win cause you uptight

Ha

He came to the game with two MCs

Back when people said you can't make beats on PCs

Internet haters, major labels be damned

Soon produced the full-blown "Threat" for the man

Now his phone blowin' up, he can't hold it in his hand

A few months back them fools didn't understand

Now it's Mary J and Erykah, Jean Grey, etc

The name 9th Wonder and he crushin' all competitors

I cross-train, toss brain fuel on hot tracks

Burn in intelligent infernos, you got that?

I speak clear like the sample is in triplicates

Get every crooked cop in Los Angeles to handle this

Insane, inspired, insider street analyst

Questioning authority who don't know what the answer is

The voice is proof the choice of the youth

Forensic evidence say the boy is the truth
