letra de my introduction - anthony j. shears

intro:
there are many signs
despite how slowly they may come
my bad beginning was only half the battle
as the smallest, quietest, voice began to be heard these walls began to fall like tears
those memories have become my memoirs
my introduction
seattle i know you got me
ladies and gentlemen, the growth, my introduction
seattle’s favorite son anthony shears
dj phonetic
can’t argue with destiny
smg
stand up

verse1:
check
i welcomed you to seattle i was misunderstood
told you to strap your boots
then brought you right to the hood
showed you how to survive
where weaker n-ggas might have died
but weaker n-ggas can’t come
embrace you as my sons
embrace you as my brothers
mothers
father
daughters
my peers
i cried ya’ll tears
i faced ya’ll fears
i made them here
and so sincere you said word to shears
like lookin’ in the mirrors
see i knew ya’ll felt trapped
so i responded back with young gifted and black
see i knelt when ya’ll knelt
i prayed when ya’ll prayed
i felt what ya’ll felt
we made that front page
we took it around the world
we brought heaven to h-ll
they didn’t understand so i brought them to your cell
to that 6×9 servin’ 6 by 9
when you work out or read books to help p-ss that time
i brought ‘em back to the block brought ‘em back to the cops
want your hands behind your back and your face on the sidewalk
showed ‘em where the corners at when they was ignorin’ that
chant… than block
i brought the corner back
showed ‘em where the hustlers meet till 4 in the morning at
where the murders the hustlers and the corners at
i forced n-ggas to hear when they refused to listen
i voiced your silent pain
i yelled your heart’s whispers
you read my first rhymes on that cl-ss chalkboard
some teachers treat me bad ‘cuz i was young black and poor
saw family dinners eatin’ on my living room floor
saw me reach my breakin’ point then hit that corner with that…
see me almost get shot
see me almost get locked
let me switch my hustle up
trade in the booth for the block
this… for everybody who survives on nothing
the voice of the have-nots my introduction
