The Grouch & Eligh - Akfam lyrics

[Verse 1: The Grouch] Some call you selfish cause you want to love yourself Well that's rubbish, so I love myself And I love my brother and I'd die to tell it I got a load to get off so I'm riding with it None of these tickets is wolf, I got proof We walked in the shoes and talked in these tones An optimist You knocking these songs? I open my doors, they tossin' me stones Well let me draw somethin' Like my daughter does Higher thoughts than what you thought What you thought it was? Throw it back as a blessing, demonstration of My love, it's honest, no limitation to it I promised my old self the new me would never lead our soul astray Even if we're old and gray and can't think right See the path has been laid follow the ink back Remember the hunger and deep thought The embers they burn slow except when you live fast The second you did that, first that you did crash But pain plants the seed for the new growth and this rap Pleasure is the heaven they can't see And the heaven that they sellin' just can't be Goin' fancy places tryin' ta figure out basics Making no sense to my family [Verse 2: Eligh] I wasn't brought this way just to be dropped off at the bus stop Left alone with a microphone and no one home to touch off These ideas that run through my head like a train wreck Jump off the tracks before you back up, relax but not no Xanax To numb that pain I tax up The days I ran care free didn't feel a thing, now I feel it all Down to the most minuet, un-resolute emotional sting Hear the present call and the angels sing Halo's in a tangled ring of mangled dreams brought back to life I sink my heels into the soil, I promise not to re-coil At man smoking that white rock of the devil through the foil To stand in the face of destruction and make demands I want to live again and no my friends, I'm on the land And after sailing many days across the sea of discontentment I'm a man Lifespans stretch across record books and time lines in sand I'm a fan of mankind, I'm a fan of God I ran my shoes ragged, now I grin and bare foot it Tail never draggin, tail never dragging Fire breathing dragons can't expire me Imagine having diaries in heaven being read across the wire And no shame running through your veins What a day, what a way to go out, or step in To the next ascension I roll out the red carpet, my spirit deserves every thread As well as all my fellow travelers burdened with a heavy head Carry that weight is what the Chevy says I levy dead states of mind out the reservoir and make amends God won't leave me standing here And that I can't pretend to not know, amen to all men [Verse 3: Blu] She was all giddy, all Diddy he blessed her with the city All pretty sadity, she hit him with a semi If I ever fall tell God I won't be forgotten So I might as well Pac 'em like they never shot him Third eye, I be forever watchin' Guardin' the pyramid as if my spirits Islamic Kiss the Goddess, don't forget about her You'll never live without her I see the beauty that you couldn't have without her Cherish that, f** a Paris rap, kinda brash Cause I cherish that chariots'll carry us back Where the Mary's wanna marry us Miss Marry Macks In the city where the bears cop the mary sacks I wrote a rap like I barely rap Even though I bury rap I wrote enough to leave a library packed Pay hommage to the squad, take a child up to Mars Make the crowd go wild, touch the stars I bust my raps like I'm in love with ya'll Except it wasn't ya'll I was in love with When bustin' my balls About the God and the Goddess The son that they found Was runnin' out the buildin' when she left I want you now, I got the same number saved 5 times Must've played the summer 5 times but she never changed The same sweater stayed under the weather When I forget her name, she always said it's just a name
