Kambino - Let Me Show You lyrics

[Verse 1] Let me show you how to walk right, talk right, change your swagger Pick yourself up, upgrade your stature The way of the Master has to Enter your mind or your blind, and life will walk right past ya We're all just sheep in a pasture, grazing in the field of free will But when the wolf comes will you run or keep still? Sacrificing your life for fun and cheap thrills It's like a Benz on cheap wheels A girl with model potential in cheap heels Lacking stability and traction, attractive But really just futility in action I pray you feel my pa**ion, if I don't sell a record in my life I'm asking that if you hear my record, spin it twice And bask in the presence of the one that is the Christ Give your problems to the Son, the ones who help you get it right Get it, right [Hook] The day to day gets kind of boring and trife There's got to be a little more to this life Paper chasing but you never hunt it down And you wish it was the other way around Let me show you how to live, let me show you how to grow See I've been to where you been, let me show you what I know Let me show you how to breathe, real slow You look lost, let me show you where to go [Verse 2] Let me show you how to grow some, know some more than you do I see ya all as Spongebobs that I'm pouring into See I've adapted a warriors' view Fighting and reaching, And teaching before their stopped by that quarter to two That's one forty five, lost lives in the projects Crack babies cry, tossed aside like objects Fathers are not there, robberies not rare I lived in the midst bro, how could I not care I used to sit and pout like it's not fair But that didn't change a thing Until I changed my mind, climbed out, rearranged my way of thinking Saw if change is what I'm seeking then the change I gotta bring Songbird, so even if I'm jailed I gotta sing More like an eagle, regaled feathers on the wings Lives are hanging in the balance, see them tethered on the string Gotta show them what I know, yo, life gets better with the King [Hook] [Verse 3] Let me show you how to move through the mazes matrix creates To a place where your freedom patiently waits See I escaped several years back Imaging the feeling now I gotta fight the tears back To some that may appear wack but you don't know the half of my pain My mere childhood corrupted nearly half of my brain Then the decade that followed was a match made in sorrow Thought perhaps KB swallowed ended trapped in the game Life was the pits like a peach fam Day after day a bad news like C-SPAN But you see ... stayed on the knees and Knew that someday, someway, he would reach Kam And he did, then I changed for the better And I made a promise that I wouldn't change for the cheddar For the women, cars, j**erly, the fame or whatever Bring dishonor to His name, I will never ever, ever [Hook]
