4y4re – harlem rez lyrics
[verse 1]
i be the harlem, resident
that’s word to dead, presidents
pump lead for they, deficients
my peoples not, credited
instead they don’t, let em in
false education be, limited
smack em out they, christening
i thank y’all for, listening
i hate taking the, mta
jumping rails to catch my, train
hip hops young bloods
wear enslaved diamond, chains
producing the new, wave of, slaves
like the, nba
it’s buy sell and, trade
the white mans bеtting, game
i’m so universal
my words can’t hurt, you
cuz my knowledgе is so, true
imma tell y’all what’s the, issue
like the dna in my, tissue
the one i blow my nose, with
talk behind close doors, kid
i’ll flip back your eye, lids
to show you how we, live
let it be known to the
brown and black faces
from different places
made up of different races
i see on a daily basis
living off minimum wages
smoking in tha staircases
there’s still 1.7, milly
children living in, nyc
who still be stuck in, poverty
shelters was never, healthy
for the kids with empty, belly’s
the culture of ma city fading
while landlords evading
this was what we made it
from mexicans and africans
to puerto rican’s degrading
the, displacement
is too, invasive
i feel so, hated
spread love before i, make it
just know i ain’t, fake it
[hook]
coming from straight from harlem
to the bronx
queens, brooklyn and statin island
open your eye lids
new york city belongs to us
the people
(have the group all day it)
[verse 2]
f+ck all the politics
i keep it real in these streets
while you lay on your bed sheets
i’m out here bruising beats
not my baby momma
i don’t need that drama
no quiero nada de esa casa
me preguntan que pasa
bueno te voy a decir
the, gentrification
got me, so alienated
f+ck papers for, verification
i’m sorry my, english
isn’t a great, translation
to your bullsh+t, haten
like america’s, adaptation
of our blood cultures, relation
in every single, nation
i can’t have, patience
struggling day to day
ebt gotta pay
can’t seem to catch a, break
was my life a, mistake
i just wanna escape
to gov cuomo, screw you
and mayor deblasio, too
for empty promises
useless ass offices
their acts are so ominous
isn’t it that obvious
they don’t care about us
how many f+cking meds
do i have to be popping
or children at that
for some special ed checks
from the government
instead of bussin hot lead
put the guns down
and let the kids live
we can all coexist
i know they some pr+cks
that left us in projects
and that watch list
it’s hard enough to find a room
that’s not 2 da 3 gzs
for me and ma family
getting chocked up by reality
seems like an abnormality
to live happily
my third eye ball
seen it off the wall
gotta stand tall
despite it all
imma keep rolling with the punches
even if i got crutches
only god can judge us
still gonna skip them buses
stay intimidated by my g+nius
i pray that you see
i ask of you
africans west indian blacks
haitians puerto ricans cubans dominicans guatemalans native american indians
and my mexicans come together and fight for change not each other my brown and black brothers and sisters
