letra de eshu's prophecy - poetic death

[introduction]

“it’s a free park you know, a lot of people have never been in there. our little world was all we knew, we didn’t know anything outside of that world. so to look, and see people who look like you achieving great things it’s like ‘oh there is more for me’ you know. it improves self esteem, it improves upon self worth.” – jay z

[verse 1]

a man had walked into the village alone/
and low and behold/
there was a fight between the people/
over the rights to the throne/
the truth was unknown/
scattered were the thoughts of the politics/
division was the goal/
and sure enough they had accomplished it/
the saddest part about it was/
the people were the victims/
the one’s with insecurities/
are the ones that hurt the system/
you see the kids were quick to hype it up/
they tried to keep it going/
as if they wouldn’t shed a tear/
when them bullets get to smokin’/
this that wisdom that i bring to you/
respect your limitations/
i ain’t never met a superman/
who flew while being brainless/
these fans are like police patrol/
just do your job and listen/
enjoy it for the music/
and learn to mind your f-cking business/
the threat is like a family/
well f-ck it we’re a family/
so taking shots at one/
is just like taking shots at all of us/
and when i tell you all of us/
my n-gga i mean all of us/
and just because we keep the peace/
that doesn’t mean we f-ck with ya/

[chorus] [4x]

what would you do/
if you was in my shoes/

[verse 2]

dear poetic death/
we probably never met/
and to be honest i just heard of you/
how you call yourself a general/
when you’re too afraid to battle dude/
the word is that you started it/
you’re a f-ggot and a p-ssy/
you’re only known because of gavlyn/
and phora’s blowing up too/
admit dude you’re garbage/
you’re too afraid to see him/
face to face in hand combat/
yo i use to be a fan of you/
but n-gga f-ck your movement/
yea i saw your little break down/
but n-gga that was foolish/
and no one understands you/
plus the beat was f-cking lucid/
when i’m cruising through the block my g/
i be feeling foolish/
and i ain’t trying to feel depressed g/
i need them heavy beats/
with a loud b-ss to block all this pain/
and all this f-cking misery/
cause i hate this f-cking scenery/
reality it gets to me/
my girl’s about to have a baby/
and she wants to leave me/
see the truth is i relate to you/
but since we’ve never met/
i’m taking shots behind computer screens/
without no regrets/
but in the end i couldn’t blame you/
your movement is the future/
you’d be dumb to throw it all away/
over n-ggas acting stupid/
baby loca/

“because for so long we were living in these neighborhoods boxed in, and those neighborhoods were our world.” – jay z

[chorus] [4x]

[verse 3]

ayo it’s hard to find balance/
in this world that we’re living in/
try to make it off the block/
and mothaf-ckas wanna pull you in/
don’t get it twisted son/
i ain’t a stranger to it/
i just know the difference from being real/
and acting stupid/
i had the devil in my ear though/
the homie with the .22/
who said that he would do it/
that’s love for what we’ve been though/
but i told him save that bullet/
for someone that was worth it/
touch my mother or my brother/
mothaf-cka he deserved it/
my n-gga that’s a service/
a guilt that i ain’t trying to hold/
unless i really have too/
let’s focus on this gold/
see my circle spits the truest/
getting money like it’s past due/
and we give a f-ck about you lame dudes/
and plus i’m bout to be in paris son/
rocking at a festival/
40,000 plus my n-gga/
how you trying to flex on us/
i started from the bottom/
and i shot my own videos/
i’m leading 30 people/
walking with me on this road/
don’t you ever try to compare/
to half the sh-t i done been though/
and i don’t push myself/
i’m pushing everybody else/
shout outs to all my peoples/
who be rolling with the movement/
and i’m promising every one of you/
they’re dying for this blueprint/
the movement/

[outro]

“a lot of choices are made from the position of ‘my life is not worth much, i’m not worth much, this sort of living is not much. so if i risk my life what am i really missing?’ but if you know how valuable human life is, you have more respect for yours and for others” – jay z
