LionRiddims - The Prophet lyrics

Intro: This song was inspired by the poem The Prophet by Alexander Pushkin. Look it up, ‘cause that sh** is dope Verse 1: I took a walkabout, thought about it, now I'm like the Prophet Burning hearts and clearing minds never looking for a profit If they're tryna sell you water, know that sh** isn't pure If you're tryna sell your soul, we ain't doing that here Yeah I've written it before, I'll be writing it some more It's coming to me from the coals, when I'm cooking s'mores Politicians cooking up wars? Crooked who*es! They don't care about the people in the kitchen looking poor Hook: Now get high, take a look around, see Now get high, take a look around, see Look down from the clouds, see the way that it be Look down from the clouds, see the way that it be Bridge: So I'm sitting in the study studying the pages Flip into a rage the propaganda that they hand you Satisfies the simple minds, third eye blind Thinking everything is fine But it's not, it's getting hot, and we're running out of time Hook x2 Verse 2: And they organize the ma**es just to serve the oligarchy Of the wealthy and the powerful Power to the people we could take 'em in an hour Standing tall like a tower, they'll crawl to the corner And cower like cowards So stop shooting at each other, turn and face the real enemy Everybody spits it seems like none of y'all are listening Watermelon seeds, I spit on Lil B's free steez You read the magazines, the sh** that's making me wheeze? Working pest control so I be trap in the bees Flipping up the words like they Krabby patties My boy's ex was nuts we call her Crabby Patty It was a buck on her mind, always acting catty p**y was purring, but her soul was transparent He tried for a while there wasn't any repairing We're a product of environment, teachers and parents; Every one of you's a role model, better start caring If you're rolling in dough, got models s**ing your dick You could share some of your money with the poor and the sick Got a yacht and a stable, plenty of food on the table You should volunteer your time if you're willing and able If you're not willing you're ill and I think you belong in a ward- You need some reeducation, don't need another award All people one, all people equal that fact can't be ignored You want to run into battle you're gonna fall on your sword Peace and love is the answer to all the questions we ask Whether you're peaking or you're sleeping on the streets it'll pa** Pa** the joint, past the point, that's the point now relax Don't need to say another word 'cause now you've got all the facts Hook x3
