Nima Skeemz - On My Shoulders lyrics

On My Shoulders [Verse: Campana] Working so diligent, yo mama proud of you Greatness is coming out of you, now you reaching the altitude Had to battle the doubt, yeah my conscious was fragile From the leaving the crib at 17, venturing to Seattle Couldn't stay, my hometown didn't have much to offer My teacher asked if I had a back up, cause sh** gonna cost you Sure do, enrolled in a community college I packed my sh** up with Jimmy, we went and got an apartment It's where my brother was living, and he was working on getting His bachelor's, here's a congratulation for finishing The world where we're livin, criminalizes citizens Who's black, that's a fact, they say that I'm different Cause I ain't been to prison? Cause I pay my tuition? Cause I believe in the man, for our sins he was risen? On the phone, with my mama, it was a glorious feeling When I told her I'm dropping out, but never was quitting [Chorus: SamNelly] Good head on my shoulders It ain't that hard to notice I'm getting wiser and older My perspective is gorgeous (x2) [Verse 2: Campana] Watch me speak up, I'm ripping this beat up I'm keeping my feet off the pavement, in other words levitating Working to become the greatest, I'm more than sure it's my fate How you know this? It's tangible, you see me give it a shake By the hand, can you handle it, if I told you I'm working to the dismantle all the blinding propaganda? That speaks of blacks in a manner, you disrespecting my people You keepin on talking that slander, but we will never be equal Because we're levels above, You can shoot you can shove But I'm filled with this love, because my spirit's untouchable Never settled, or comfortable, get the bill; Mr. Huxtable I'm fulfilling these feelings and goals, f** what you told Wasted time up in college, work harder for honor roll My records are on a roll, now that I've found the gold Inside of me, an a**ignment society Stick together like Siamese, we can take on the hierarchy Repetition of Chorus Outro Scratch
