Sho Baraka - Revolutionary Died lyrics

rate me

Hook

I got some tragic news today

Real manhood has died, they say

But you can wipe your tears away

A Revolution is formed another will be born

I got some tragic news today

Real manhood has died, they say

But you can wipe your tears away

A new one is born so bring in the song

Verse 1

I am changed escapin' my old ways

Harriet Tubman on that underground train

Too many men see the grave misinterpreting brave

I could loose those chains if they knew they were slaves

I thought a man was a pimp at a young age

Now I try to honor women when the pen hits the page

Its still hip-hop minus all the thuggin

Take the poet and priest and put it in a husband

Not boasting I'm far from perfect

I'm just saying give the title to some cats who deserve it

I know some men earned it

Some strong role models who knows GOD's purpose

I know one song can't change the world

But maybe dude next door'll stop beatin' his girl

And maybe we can get some brothas out trap

I just wanna change my block we'll see what happens after that

Verse 2

My cuzzo like I can make that dollar pretty quick

Illegal stuff, I tell him he should work for it

He looked me up down and stuck his mouth to the side

Like c'mon you know you done I lost my mind

He wants High Living but was forced in the basement

I told my dog you'll never catch the car don't chase it

So many kill themselves in world trying to make it

Your appetite will eat you when you get a chance to taste it

Their cups look full, but their lives look Wasted

A fully furnished house but your soul feels vacant

get some new thngs but feel the need to replace it

yeah, this is man's ordeal

Decorate his frame to make himself feel real

Or rob, steal, kill

Any emotion is good as long as I feel

No sir that's aint what manhood is

Life without morals and fruitless end

I took him under my wing now the journey begin

Hopefully another man can be born again

VERSE 3

This cat asking me how many shawties I tap

I know you get a lot of play even in gospel rap

I wasn't too shocked if my discernments was right

He type that hasn't seen a brother honor his wife

So instead of calling him stupid and causing a fight

Just explained to this brother things I value in life

He confused cuz he said you don't look like the type

That really lives all the stuff that you say on the mic

He's doubting my words like he needs some proof

Plus he struggles with the idea of absolute truth

He won't practice those things which he don't esteem

If he hates absolute truth then he's the Supreme being

Then he has no standards, then he has no answers

So his contributions in life is just prostate cancer

I try to answer every question that he throws my way

Hopefully another real man will be born today
