Frank Drake - Hallelujah lyrics

[Verse 1] I told my mother I loved her just the other week Said I'm sorry for being weak, turn the other cheek No villain is ever raised, as if a different breed To us humans I shed a tear before I did the deed Father, Father, our personas gone on forever The grown-ups ain't show no effort so homies don't know no better Of course we gon' go retarded Our fathers were tarred and feathered As targets and all we got is the president So who riding I'm with it? It's hard to be positive when impoverished, I did it Involving in politics for a profit I'm searching for higher learning in hopes for a higher living You open to different cultures, my opus in hieroglyphics My n***a Embarked on an inner search for forgiveness My n***a The d**h of a kid and birth of a cynic My n***a We traded our [?] for foreign women May the lord see our flaws, and may God be my witness Hallelujah [x8] [Hook] Ain't no brighter days for a n***a like me The church don't pray for a n***a like me The Lord ain't saving n***as like me It's not likely, nah nah Ain't no fairy tales for a n***a like me The world doesn't label the n***a like me Them educated n***as like me It's unlikely [Verse 2] I'm surely some sort of sorcerer You flying flags while I flag down a flying saucer, huh Jesus of Nazareth raps to the non-exalted It's Hera's daughter reviving a dying culture Live and direct from the fleshes you hide inside Made of rotten carca**es piled to protect yourself from the vultures But we survive like the phoenix rise And arrive like the bronze in Egypt My bronze people reaching a solstice Hope to be seen as A Sea of Hope to the hopeless They go to drink but the oil leaked in the ocean Formula 40-40 will force the erosion We taking .40s to 40-40 and posting A lot of souls are going missing A lot of goals get lost in prison A lot of cold in this description You out of focus, get the picture? And even after all my logic and my theories I gotta say "my n***a" so my n***as feel me Hallelujah [x8] [Hook] [Skit] [Outro] You think, that you don't have to ever quit You think, that you can get away with it You think, the light won't be evident It's almost over now, almost over now Something on your chest, better get it off There'll be no-one left, when we send it off We ain't going to take it no more It's almost over now, almost over now
