RaphaelThaGreat - MCMXCIII lyrics

[Jiddu Krishnamurti speech] Verse 1: Ten thirty four circa nineteen ninety three/ I was born to be an Emcee/ Before I could even speak/ I'm on a tight leash/ Trapped in my mind/ My past/ is what holds me back/ so I had/ To leave it behind/ in due time/ I hope to figure it out/ What it is to this world and what it's really about/ Exclude the doubt/ and the negative that's always around/ But I can still feel the heat/ that steams/ inside of this drought/ But what I found/ is an outlook on life that's so profound/ It could never amount/ to all my previous perceptions/ I guess I'm destined/ to craft my intellect and/ Complete my conquest and maybe make a good impression/ But don't you think for a second/ that the views I have on life Could not ever be questioned/ this is a lesson/ To this entire generation/ and this nation/ needs to know Your dreams are more than worth chasin'/ Verse 2: Respect and to Appreciate will always be a must/ Prosper/ Honor/ And Everything Love/ RAPHAEL/ is what it spells/ always prevail/ Always excel/ Never found a reason to fail/ Couldn't you tell?/ success is my one and only option/ It's nonsense/ to think otherwise/ that's just my conscious/ Keeping me alive/ when I ain't got no will to try/ Or will to survive/ hands tied/ but I guess it's do or die/ This world is genocide/ got me terrified/ For the generations after you and I/ just open up your eyes/ And realize/ we need to unify/ be more civilized/ Swallow all our pride/ so I guess it's time/ to open wide/ We always scrutinize/ never criticize/ redesign/ your life/ Only you decide/ to make it right/ so will you fight/ Or will you end it all tonight/ I never saw the light/ Until the day I went and grabbed a mic/ Developed an appetite/ to have to write/ and now Im twice/ As bright/ Flyer than a kite/ or satellite/ Sharp as the sharpest knife/ 86 the lies/ no improvise/ Once upon a time/ I had a sh**ty life/ So don't judge me cause my skin is white/
