Asaiah Ziv - Angelisa (Intro) lyrics

[Angelisa] My people perish for lack of knowledge They work hard to look like they balling But they can't fill out an application for college, ironic Mainstream media, selling the false ideology that it matters in what you see So my people get consumed with thoughts like "I wonder what they'll think about me" And if you don't believe me, look at our children I mean, how many more have to commit suicide Because they didn't have the right shoes or their clothes weren't labeled right? We are living in a society where perfection is a disease Where the five senses have to be pleased We're still in slavery singing, "Give me free" And you wonder why we can't get no higher So you turn to smoking trees, my people So focused on, the tightest whips, the fliest kicks Believing that image will make more friends Not realizing that we are royalty And forgetting who's image we are made in Sagging pants, the latest dance Some of our children can't spell their last name But you can see 'em over their t**ng And our parents aren't even ashamed, my people Getting turnt up, when the light's getting turned off Gotta be fresh from head to toe if people gon' believe you boss Music been on life support for so long, we finally seen the d**h of hip-hop Society's fallen victim to the schematics of, college educated rappers Not realizing they're paying homage to their own ignorance With their, basic rhymes and their highlighted crimes and their degrading women And y'all still dancing to this? Where is God? What happened to teaching our youth Training them up in the way they should go I see more youth, having more youth Young men money-hungry, slanging dope My people, praising the path to ratchetness Despising God cause they feel, like Too young to learn about righteousness Sacrificing who they are just to say They lived life and was happy? When merely, they are just drunk in their ways thinking "At least I was fly" Yo, this is Hipsavvy
