Ibe Soliman - Harry Belafonte lyrics

Intro: My people screaming like: What's goin on (Can't nobody see it's straight savage On a black man and woman out here? Trying to sell me on orange and pink Unicorns What you talking about?) Bloody streets, don't push me I'm barely holding on (Nah, nah man I know A serpent when I see it: Same snake, new skin Where do I begin?) Now it's time for me to fly I'm a take it to the sky Verse 1: This got that making of a rebel feel Lifting up my fists, don't make a difference Let the wreckage build k**ing off your systems Sit with scripts on my director's bill Peace and Power reppin' till we're victors Still I rep the Ville Vilians learn your lessons here Weapons will draw But your weapons wield flawed Vaudeville be a chopper But your weapons never prosper I'm a monster, I'm a brute I despise your biased eyes Tragedy too common I swear d**h advises lies What's goin on, what's goin on? Marvin gone, but I sing the same song There's something deep inside us That accounts for why we're strong They tried to bury us, but we are seeds They got it wrong Hook: What's going on? (I swear it's wild out here Folks acting like the evils ain't real I be like, ‘Get familiar with the danger g.”) Bloody streets don't push me I'm barely holding on (Just trying to keep my head above water Feel like they want me drowned, bound Uncrowned.) Now it's time for me to fly (Never that though.) I'ma a take it to the sky Bring my power back (I want it all back. Every single droplet.) You tried to steal my soul from me Got another thing coming Bring that power back (Nah, you playing with it That, that, and that too Come up off that.) Verse 2: Now I'm busting through that ceiling Can you dig it? Got me feeling like I'm Harry Belafonte Pauly Robey with my story Punches throwing to my dome I be rolling, I be rolling I got fire in my bones I can't hold it, I can't hold it And I'm really ‘bout this life So trust me this ain't just recording Plotting on how they can shorten my life They shading my light, but no I'm not having that So now I'm on this journey with drive And I'm taking my flight Ain't no more middle pa**ages I'm not in the business of seeing no limits So can you imagine what status my vantage is God is the size of my hope And I'm praying dear Lord Can you please help me manage it Young, gifted, and black – that weigh a ton Nina gone but I sing the same song There's something deep inside us That accounts for why we're strong They tried to bury us, but we are seeds They got it wrong Hook: What's going on? (See my ancestors was enslaved And they paved the way But I'm still wondering When the change gon' come.) Bloody streets don't push me I'm barely holding on (See the truth is buried inside me And the secrets of the kingdom are hidden In my unborn child My love holds the future. What up) Now it's time for me to fly I'ma a take it to the sky Bring my power back (Hats off for the heist, though You laid the theft game crazy) You tried to steal my soul from me Got another thing coming (Nah, nah. Run that.) Bring that power back (Yea yea you thought it was over Soul game too strong though.) Outro: Now we busting through that ceiling With that vision on a trillion Bring that power back You tried to steal my soul from me Got another thing coming Bring that power back Now we busting through that ceiling With this vision on a trillion Bring that power back You tried to steal my soul from me Got another thing coming Bring that power back
