Howie D - Netherrealm lyrics

[Verse One: B-Baz] Walk around like I got a red cape on Living in a world that is post-Trayvon Post-Diallo, post-Sean Bell Ask the pastor, “Are we still in Hell?” Martin walked and then Barry ran From “Let freedom ring!” to “Yes, we can!” Few succeeded, some deterred 50 years but still a dream deferred? Langston words, Martin heart World of fear tore it all apart Cop or not: 20, 30, 41 shots Doesn't matter if my heart still stops One loud POP! One man k**ed Mama crying ‘cause the blood was spilled Of her first born son, one less for the clan Red carca**, what's left of the man [Hook: B-Baz] I'm trapped in the Netherrealm, plottin' my escape And, when it's time, finally reclaim my place I'm trapped in the Netherrrealm, countin' down the days But when I rise, will it be Judgment Day? I'm trapped in the Netherrealm, plottin' my escape And, when it's time, finally reclaim my place I'm trapped in the Netherrrealm, countin' down the days But when I rise, will it be Judgment Day? [Verse Two: Howie D] I'm trapped in a world where they stealin' the breath Out my lungs and my spirit's submitting to my flesh That's what the world want from a n***a To be sitting up in prison or be sinning, Believe me and pay attention Look! At the calamity that vanity has had on my brothas 'Round the world who dyin' from insanity A tragedy that's so sad to see They see a n***a but don't know the other half of me! All it take is one look before the gun go off A son's so lost fighting in eternal wars The children of tomorrow sparkle like stars What's the cause if you know you against the odds? So don't tell me that it ain't about the melanin When Trayvon got k**ed by dat b**h Zimmerman Obama got us but this life is stressful When Uncle Sam don't give a damn 'bout his nephew I'm trapped [Hook: B-Baz] I'm trapped in the Netherrealm, plottin' my escape And, when it's time, finally reclaim my place I'm trapped in the Netherrrealm, countin' down the days But when I rise, will it be Judgment Day? I'm trapped in the Netherrealm, plottin' my escape And, when it's time, finally reclaim my place I'm trapped in the Netherrrealm, countin' down the days But when I rise, will it be Judgment Day? [Instrumental Interlude] Will it be Judgment Day? Will it be Judgment Day? Will it be Judgment Day? [Hook: B-Baz] I'm trapped in the Netherrealm, plottin' my escape And, when it's time, finally reclaim my place I'm trapped in the Netherrrealm, countin' down the days But when I rise, will it be Judgment Day? I'm trapped in the Netherrealm, plottin' my escape And, when it's time, finally reclaim my place I'm trapped in the Netherrrealm, countin' down the days But when I rise, will it be Judgment Day?
