All praises, but some days I think my demons winning I say a prayer for forgiveness and my future sinning It’s been a minute, I apologize for preaching But I know somebody listening I’m just trying to reach em I grew up with heathens we learn Ephesians at First Baptist Bible School, before them older dude started trapping I started rapping and had dreams of being platinum plus Came a long way from laughing on back of the bus Should be happy for us we the ones who made it I know some boys who crashed hard and their stars faded God dealt these cards I played em, never had to bluff Paid dues ignored fools who be acting tough I know life gets hard, and it feels like God but he ain’t listening You gotta keep the faith in your heart Cause even when the skies get dark your soul glistening You gotta keep your head up I know sometimes you get fed up You gotta keep your head up I know sometimes you get fed up I pledge allegiance to the righteous Sinners praying Christians judging while I write this Earth is where all the hype is, It's really hell here They Pro-Life but don’t be worried about your welfare Naw this ain’t political, I’m just being cynical We know the love ain’t conditional Swear they being being biblical but worshiping false prophets Like scriptures, my negro spirituals paint pictures This the return of the real I’ve been this I’ll you wasn’t listening This the Spirit of Shakur pay attention I know life gets hard, and it feels like God but he ain’t listening You gotta keep the faith in your heart Cause even when the skies get dark your soul glistening You gotta keep your head up I know sometimes you get fed up You gotta keep your head up I know sometimes you get fed up

Blood of a king, skin like olive, hair like wool This ain't no mystery, white-washed our history, played us like boo boo the fool Nah I ain’t learn this in school, Listen up while I drop a few jewels Blood of a king, skin like olive, hair like wool 40 Acres and mule, still never paid them dues Knee in the neck, can’t get no respect they ain't never had them views Act like my skin is my sin, then try to pretend like everything cool The power been trippin, never had freedom, only permission, I’m breaking them rules My black life matter for a hashtag, they still wanna put him in a body bag What the hell he think he doing with his black ass Trying educate these people over trap claps And that's fat facts The spirit of Pac in my veins, we finally breaking them chains But I still see racist faces, on top of self hate can’t escape the matrix And we all plead the 5th, Then we call it myth Like the truth don’t exist, I’m so tired of this shit How we all plead the 5th, and then call it myth Like the truth don’t exist, I’m so tired of this Blood of a king, skin like olive, hair like wool This ain't no mystery, white-washed our history, played us like boo boo the fool Nah I ain’t learn this in school, Listen up while I drop a few jewels Blood of a king, skin like olive, hair like wool I’m black and I’m proud, but that don't make me better than the next man I’m black and I’m proud, but that don’t make anybody else less than I’ll say it out loud, but they still don’t hear me They just wanna make the gun go pow, my skin tone make them fear me Land of the free, home of the brave, my people were slaves when that song was written Keep that on the hush, back of the bus, think about us you might feel something different They don't want to listen, these people been trippin They’d rather be living like Jim Crow alive I’m under suspicion, but still on my mission thinking about how many didn't survive And we all plead the 5th, Then we call it myth Like the truth don’t exist, I’m so tired of this shit How we all plead the 5th, and then call it myth Like the truth don’t exist, I’m so tired of this Blood of a king, skin like olive, hair like wool This ain't no mystery, white-washed our history, played us like boo boo the fool Nah I ain’t learn this in school, Listen up while I drop a few jewels Blood of a king, skin like olive, hair like wool

Visions from the most high Had a dream I could fly Woke up said might as well try Swing down sweet chariot let us ride Visions from the most high Had a dream I could fly Woke up said might as well try Swing down sweet chariot let us ride This my Funkadelic flow from the mothership it’s cosmic Probably way beyond your logic The truth is out the closet, these bars are heaven sent Don’t matter how you feel cause it’s really irrelevant No sign of intelligence, the elephant in the room My power my melanin, I just might fly to the moon And assume we’ll be leaving here soon Spaceship zoom, either that or the tomb Visions from the most high Had a dream I could fly Woke up said might as well try Swing down sweet chariot let us ride Visions from the most high Had a dream I could fly Woke up said might as well try Swing down sweet chariot let us ride
