Hesitate lyrics - Bun B & Cory Mo (feat. Talib Kweli, David Banner & Tobe Nwigwe)
I spoke to Yahweh, I've been meditatin'
He told me that heaven's waitin', I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (On some things)
(Cory Mo)
He told me that heaven's waitin', I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (On some things)
I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (On some things)
I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things
I spoke to Yahweh, I've been meditatin'
He told me that heaven's waitin', I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things
Lately I've been puttin' my life into perspective
Reflective of my past, bein' retrospective
Lookin' at the good and the bad, then my early days
Wonderin' if I still got a path to the pearly gates
Life wasn't always the way that it is today
You can take me there, I'm losin' my life just to pray
But nowadays, I'm more conscious of my ways
And all it takes is me wakin' up to give Him praise
Came a long way from who I was and what I did once
All I used to care about was sippin' drink and big blunts
But now I got a family and they countin' on me
To give 'em what they need I climb the highest mountain, homie
So every day I'm workin' on the enemy
To find the best way that I could balance all my energy
Nobody's perfect, no matter what it look like on the surface
Just hopin' I get closer to my purpose, say amen
I spoke to Yahweh, I've been meditatin'
He told me that heaven's waitin', I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (On some things)
He told me that heaven's waitin', I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (On some things)
I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (On some things, yeah)
I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (Yeah)
I spoke to Yahweh, I've been meditatin' (Turn me up a lil' bit)
He told me that heaven's waitin', I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things
I'm on a course switchin' over to God, I got the devil waitin'
I'm outlastin' 'em, outcast and I'm elevatin'
Keymaster lookin' for keepers of heaven's gate
He faster to beat, them others hesitate
Here's the situation, all them snitchers be sayin' some things
Actin' like a bro ain't playin', Mama wanna sing
Just because I'm from the 'hood don't mean I gotta bang
Our neighborhood affiliated, the police a gang
They say my name but say it sore like under they breath
We mutilated like people livin' under the steps
We stayin' pressed, there'll be none of us left
The fool death, it got 'em thirsty for blood, hunger for death
They give us scratch from the feast, we actin' like we amazed
Street blacks like beasts, they lock us right in a cage
Every day I fight for freedom 'cause it's not just a phase
I'm not just slayin', people don't get to tell me how to behave, nah
I spoke to Yahweh, I've been meditatin'
He told me that heaven's waitin', I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (On some things)
He told me that heaven's waitin', I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (On some things)
I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (On some things)
I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things
I spoke to Yahweh, I've been meditatin' (Yeah, yeah)
He told me that heaven's waitin', I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things
I'm like Nelly with' a visa, you only show me off at nighttime
Fight time is what it is 'cause I hit killer kids
What y'all want? Pray with' 'em and stay with' 'em
Build back up to slay, quarters to stay with' 'em, yeah
Wantin' to slay 'em in the name of the promise?
They come knockin' at my door, watch 'em runnin' 'em off
We were fine before they put hell in our mind
And died seven times and found we could travel through time
Through my ancestors, no more, no less
Ain't no tide on no feed dot, wanna be free, yeah
But y'all pimpin' religion, pushin' division, cool (Yeah)
I want my family back, forty, you can take a mule (Yeah)
I'ma keep it too, bustin' back in tune (In tune)
Call me Makmu, I do Ryu (Yeah)
Hear a Mississippi shooter, y'all don't get it, though (Though)
Y'all talkin' God, do you really live it, though? (Live it, though)
I spoke to Yahweh, I've been meditatin'
He told me that heaven's waitin', I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (On some things)
He told me that heaven's waitin', I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (On some things)
I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (On some things)
I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things
I spoke to Yahweh, I've been meditatin'
He told me that heaven's waitin', I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things
This World lyrics - Bun B & Cory Mo (feat. Big K.R.I.T., Trae Tha Truth & Raheem DeVaughn)
[Intro:]
Cory Mo
Zaytoven
[Raheem DeVaughn:]
I've seen joy and pain in this world (This world)
I'm just tryin' to remain in this world (This world)
I even pray to God for change in this world
I've seen some troubling times in this world
'Cause my Black life matters in this world (This world, this world, this world)
'Til we're equal in this world
Power to the people in this world (This world, this world)
[Bun B:]
Been walking down the wicked streets of America, who'd have thought
That the fight for basic civil rights was still left to be fought
Even after we lost Huey, Hampton, Martin, and Malcolm
To racist elite power structures whiter than talcum?
See, they've been treatin' my people like they ain't equal
Since the slave ships and now we livin' in a sequel
Talkin' 'bout 'em lynchin' us, burnin' us and killin' us
For 400 years, and man, they still ain't feelin' us!
Systemic racism, economic and judicial
Plus killer cops attacking us daily, pulling their pistol
So now mayne it's official, we've got to take a stand
Every time they kill a Black woman or a Black man
[Raheem DeVaughn:]
I've seen joy and pain in this world (This world)
I'm just tryin' to remain in this world (This world)
I even pray to God for change in this world
I've seen some troubling times in this world
'Cause my Black life matters in this world (This world, this world, this world)
'Til we're equal in this world
Power to the people in this world (This world, this world)
[Big K.R.I.T:]
The blacker the berry, the more weight to carry on these shoulders of ours
While the candles burn dimly on corners, as we mourn the slain with bouquets of flowers
As the killers go free, no matter the footage we see and vivid the pictures
I just pray for the mothers and fathers that bury their babies, find comfort in scriptures
And destroy the fiends and killers
We more kings and queens then niggas
Ain't no tweets or memes can heal us
Only we can protect the village and bless the children with knowledge and truth
Strengthen the roots, the struggle is proof, the cutting the noose
The living the life, the power to fight, to the power to be
They point and they shoot
And the cameras gon point at the looters like we ain't been peacefully protesting
Like we ain't been tired of seeing people dying and they ain't get no justice
Like a building on fire is worth way more than lives and a family that's crying feel hopelessness
Cause the system is built off racism we knowing
And that system been broken
[Raheem DeVaughn:]
I've seen joy and pain in this world (This world)
I'm just tryin' to remain in this world (This world)
I even pray to God for change in this world
I've seen some troubling times in this world
'Cause my Black life matters in this world (This world, this world, this world)
'Til we're equal in this world
Power to the people in this world (This world, this world)
[Trae Tha Truth:]
I done seen too much through the times
Crazy days going through my mind
Same color, same skin folk
Murdered till they [?] my kind
What about Breonna Taylor?
Killed in her home, no one to save her
From the same people that's supposed to protect us
They let them walk free like it ain't nothing major
Cold world, big Floyd shook the whole globe up
Front line, be damned if I fold up
This pressure season can't hold up
They know it's real when I roll up
I'll take this fight, any day, any time
All this anger that I got on my mind
Endangered species, ain't nothing here fine
No open racists like we out here blind
Say they name, say they name
All these days I'm sick of pain
Can't find a light, I'm sick of rain
Until this is right, I'm gon complain
It's hard but I've got to make it better
Even with the odds against me, it's whatever
Go hard, it ain't nothing I would rather
This us, we gon do this shit together
