Here I Am - RWMNCS, Helen

Listen

Welcome to the Cinemascope, last perspective

Peace is born with every studio session

Created with passion, lust, love, and aggression

This raw shit is bound to grow up to be an obsession

So many lessons, the energy in the record

The leaning of every line and the sonics of every second

You’ve gotta be outta your mind to test us

In the status of the policies

You’re with us or against us

Ain’t got no time for the okey-doke

Finish the puzzle

I swear we gonna make history choke

Just spit it out and let truth be told

And I don’t need no praise

Just let the people know

Let the corner talk about it

Let the opinions flow

Let the old mind die to help the young mind grow

No frame could ever hold the spoken world of the soul

And we’re gonna say it right and let the whole world know

Raw

Tell me where you’ve been

I heard you lost your color

Got faded in the water

Now tell me where you’ve been

And all the things you’ve seen (Raw)

Some deeper than the ocean

That’s how you learn the motion

Know tomorrow where you be

I spark this

Reminiscing on communism

Grandma’s cookin' in her only pot

We had no pot to piss in

So I restrained my bladder

Read the Bible, dreamt up Jacob’s Ladder

Thinking maybe if I got to God he’ll make it all better

Then communism fell

We all felt like getting out of a prison cell

Freedom’s bell froze the hell in which my people dwelled

For so long

Spark the kush cause those days are long gone

Started to push myself to get sight of the future

And log on

Satisfied with what I got

What I am, and what I’m not

Not defined by what I

Glitz and glam, those get you shot

And I don’t plan on leaving early

Like a nine-to-fiver

180, 85, durable like carbon fiber

And hiding in the peck of pickled peppers picked by Peter Piper

Fuck the hype, I’m hyper

Not just alive, aliver

You know, I never was to outdo me and fuck the rest

I’m thankful for what I used to be

I am, I’ll be, I’m blessed, right

Raw

Tell me where you’ve been

I heard you lost your color

Got faded in the water

Now tell me where you’ve been

And all the things you’ve seen (Raw)

Some deeper than the ocean

That’s how you learn the motion

Know tomorrow where you be

Raw
