Leon Flames - Spartacus lyrics
rate meThinkin’ about this life
You gonna be like Spartacus
There will be people that will try to keep you locked away from the reality
But you came to this Earth for the truth
People try to poison you
But they can only do that if you let them
You can’t tell me how to write my music
Cause I write real music
Sometimes it makes me wanna cry shit
I know a lot of things are very hard to digest
But my people are starving all the way from this process
Rest in peace I pour some liquor in my cup
And all my ancestors died
You won’t believe the black fathers that will have you jailed
Or the curriculum that teaches our kids so well
I feel we fell down the weather
And never made it back
And the dirt that they say it’s black
And to say stealing jobs
Is not stating the facts
I didn’t get to choose the color I got on my back
But I’m proud of the color put on my back
I never buy that music
Such a hater act
And they never give us back
From the same planet
Why you callin’ us the 3rd world?
It’s such a cold world
When my son’s gonna grow up
I got to teach him to be thorough
And never follow when the footsteps force us to hollow
I wear belt like Spartacus
You see the system may rise
I can feel something strange in the wind
Will I ever be the same ?
I’m going back to life
You can stay in Babylon if you like
I don’t know
I hope my car takes me where I need to go
West Africa, my mom’ s place
More than half of population had to come to…
A bloody room that could never be covered up in clusters
I need a trail
They were allowed to their own religion
And own culture
But still the freedom wasn’t given from these vultures
You had it rough
Working on plantations even in the dusk
Various seasons that most of them were never recorded
It’s the time, shame, champagne, campaign
Blood diamond is what I call stone to death
Hate is a fully aimed under statement
A pure disregard for life
Back to London
On the television
And they’re tryin mimicking
But we can mimic what we let into our mind’s fortress
Well , what about the black ride?
Lack success with brothers in their black tie
Black mothers bein’ proud of their black sons
Black fathers bein’ there for their black sons
I’ll meet the sun
Shout out to the people
That want to but don’t see the signs
Some people want kids and they don’t have them
That for loners is too much
Nightmares wanted for reality
Despite fears
Will these times change?
I don’t know until then
I just wanna go and dance in the rain Spartacus
I wear belt like Spartacus
You see the system may rise
I can feel something strange in the wind
Will I ever be the same ?
I’m going back to life
You can stay in Babylon if you like
I don’t know
I hope my car takes me where I need to go
