letra de araminta ross - poorrrichwoman

chant:
down by the banks of the water
i only had a nickle and a quarter
didn’t have very much to offer
i think about the pain that it cost her

verse 1:
i’m not living to say eye made it
thinking about my grandma been traded
i would of burned down every slave ship
ph-k all of this slave sh-t
why the ph-k they just can’t erase it
like they tore out the other pages
my life ain’t promised, i’m thinking about sandra at the moment
i never wished to live like the jones
i was moving like a tubman
no one ever knew i was a ross
waking up the dead, shooting the lost
a big head n-gg-, asking the father to forgive her
my mama told me jazz pull the trigger
ph-k being a public figure
being popular is a stigma
this is ether mixed with enigma
that’s why i give thanks
i’m drenched in the blood and the paint
i been through the flood with the saints
and i thugged with the sinners
drunk from the grail and surrendered
found by my mama, now eye remember

chorus:
i’ve survived in the city
would of died for the the city
when the odds were against me
but then eye had to look both ways and focus on me
what eye saw wasn’t pretty
so eye let eye round off, cause of what eye found out
you can look into mi gun, if you take mi krown off
now mi hearts filled with fire, burned with the beat to inspire
i’m here, there can be nothing higher

verse 2:
give the goddess all of your respect
i’d never show my eye to be the best
i just want to past my mamas test
i’m studying myself and eye and reflect
straight from the womb to the coocoos nest
now i innerstand why the ph-k they want to k!ll us
used our own juju just to turn us into villains
but i can tell healers from the monkeys in the middle
the dealers from the builders, and the susie raising pickles
from the land of damascus to city of syria
jasmine’s the eye of these nu age spirituals
this is about the rise this ain’t about been lyrical
i was bearthed to protect you from sh-t that put fear in you
deliver you! why compromise, i’m on mi earth kitt
ph-k being perfect when you living with purpose
it’s worth it, cause i could see the con in the conflict
are we too content to gift them tru devine content

bridge intro:
we were born to survive, don’t let them lie to you
this world we live in wasn’t designed for you
and eye know the truth hurts, like a bullet through the shirt
don’t you ever let them build what’s inside of you
activate the rise in you
wish i could peel back the whole sky for you
because i know this sh-t hurts
when you get it out the dirt
then you look into the mirror
who gone ride for you

i’m sick and tired of being sick and tired
same ol story some one different dies
and the truth even committed suicide
now to survive, we live by the lips that lie
ask me how i feel inside
you can hear it in mi voice, this a different cry
and the truth, i wasn’t born spare to rod
now the revolution won’t be televised
