Leon Flames - Spartacus lyrics

rate me

Thinkin’ 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
