RAP SHEET (THIS DAY ON)

FROM THIS DAY ON I SEE THE SUN THRU ALL THE DARK & GREY
FROM THIS DAY ON I SEE MYSELF JUST DRIFTING ALL THE WAY
FROM THIS DAY ON
I SEE THE WORLD HAS ALWAYS JUST BEEN MINE TO TAKE
MINE TODAY MINE TOMORROW
AND YESTERDAY IS YOURS TO FOLLOW FOLLOW ME

it’s dedicated to that brother on a different plane
dedicated to that lady chasing street dreams
very necessary, you don’t have an inkling
a free man freeze frame our society
it ain’t for dolo or pro bono or propriety
take a good look, ‘cause you ain’t seeing me
can a hippopotamus be anonymous
in the dirty swamp among the weeds and the cannabis
I think not / it’s bigger than hip-hop
bigger than the figures of the one percent gen pop
I flea the market / love for sale
I lay low like bungalows in Beverly Hills
/////////////////

critically acclaimed / rapper in the game
like Zukerburg’s doppelganger no one knows my name
I pull a Houdini on these chains & things
my train of thought leads to all the gain from pain
I’m just a king who’s the son of a commoner
moving thru life too fast / check my speedometer
I slow it down check my pulse and the time it took
like people on their treadmills gazing at their monitor
I’m not offended / I’m quick to end it
I’m on that dirty dubby rap n roll / you call it genre bending
I call it condescending
you don’t know the half ‘til you tamper with my ending
/////////////////

rapper is what rapper does
rewrite the scripture / rap with thugs
intelligent rap / pack facts in blood
a scribble pad/ little red writings from the hood
back when rap was that music for the rebel
I got your connotation remixed and disheveled
a story too classic and passion filled
like Halifax blacks back in Africville
don’t you confuse this with just rap music
I might blow a fuse and choose to go stupid
my life is mine my life is mine
I’m looking for that meaning / a feeling divine
