Omen - Statues lyrics

rate me

(Ft Shalonda)

Hey yo!

I am a poet who composes what the world proses

And proses what the world composes...

You told me go to school, listen well, work hard!

Graduate from college, then you get your good job

What the Lord knows, that's a damn good lie

Drug dealers switch, and I'm barely getting by

I'm saying goodbye to your rules and models and get tradition

Unhappy folks trying to get wisdom, why would I listen?

You're stuck in the pass, 2Pac getting bumped on the ass

See the Shawty running up in the stash

Feel down trip stumble, from a stop in the grass

Guarantee we risk it all for the love of this cash

I mean, look at the way we're living, really stuck in the storm

We still worship statues, giving dead man...

Led a lifeless idea, live inside of this coffin

...sleep on the streets of Boston

Got us on an escapade, living..

Burn down all your statues and throw them in the lakes!

Chorus:

Get down all your statues of me

Idolizing a part of something I used to be

Tear it down, all your statues of me

Idolizing a part of something I used to be

Tear it down!

I heard you used to live in peace yoruself

So you should learn from me

They gonna be telling you that,

cause they know they can earn from me

And it's value in the pass for show

..pyramids, even Michael Jackson knows!

The lil boy got... in the stare

She ...sitting in the cell, getting pumped in the ass

And that's history, God damn, she can learn from!

I say let's burn it all down, you rather burn the blunts

Swearing that you'll turn it up!

Man, if that's destiny

Would you sacrifice you're happiness just to leave a legacy?

They said you had a dream, doctor Martin Luther King

But wait, it's adorned a monument, and he would never see

They used to build shrines and columns made it to Buddah

Somehow them saints.. in our future

I'm thinking on a different block, calling at a different spot

Please, pass the torch, watch me burn down..

Chorus:

Get down all your statues of me

Idolizing a part of something I used to be

Tear it down, all your statues of me

Idolizing a part of something I used to be

Tear it down!

Down, down, down, down
