CunninLynguists - Violet (The Upper Room) lyrics

[Intro – Deacon] Dearly beloved We are gathered here today to celebrate an electric life Under violet sky I pray you hear our cry Please help us protect what’s right [Natti] Gather your thoughts gather around Painted arrangements mixed from a pallet of sound A casket froze in indigo royal & profound many stems like hymns ounce blossomed from ground But while the reaper is king we carry the crown We weigh it out dreaming screaming or close to even In this sense nobody’s perfect nobody is worthless The systems imperfect maybe we should measure in purpose What is yours? what is mine? When do we serve it? Being hood ain’t the absence of good Being square don’t make you equal or fair It’s not an equal affair Weak voices can’t speak for a share Speak choices with no when or a where Are you aware? I don’t think so Unless your cup runneth over and you still sip slow Or guzzle til nothing complaining when you don’t get mo’ See another’s gla** empty & you don’t think poor/pour [Hook – Deacon] The upper room is calling What are we suppose to do? The upper room is calling It appears it’s just for you [Deacon] Faith We treat it like a four letter word While fear We shout it through the ghettos and burbs Here me my Lord come settle my nerves I pray these words bring honor as the heavens observe And to the sky Where the birds will testify Freedom’s a state of mind Be free any day or time But Reality will make you doubt your actuality The truest fallacy is man can’t change how he sees So it’s d**h to reason It’s left the legions Wondering where to pledge Allegiance This is my letter to Ephesians The rest We need them Through d**h The best Are leavin’ [Hook] Some people play the victim Some people play the fool Some people pay the dealer While others pay the dues I don’t know what’s realer The struggle and the strain Or the guilt that can be built within when making gains Ain’t no cheatin’ d**h You can’t lie to life Plus everything about you’s hiding in these satellites Other than the one day that Adam had it right Humans are parasites Insatiable appetites So where do we go from there? You ask I think we all trying to figure that out? One nation Under a God Kickin’ us out ‘Cause America took and takes the infamous route As we state from state to state let’s be great again Let’s forget the salient struggle of each alien We can parade after we honor the graves Of natives, slaves, women, gays, etc, etc, etc.
