ashes the chosen - hear me cry (a.s.h.e.s: the first call) lyrics

chorus:
ohhh
they don’t hear me cry
ohhhh
come on baby
ohhh
they don’t hear me cry
ohhhh
come on baby!

verse 1:
i recall my time in the hallways
of whitman rhymin’ all day
dodgin’ cl-ss cl-ss wit tt
my posse and them on broadway
the corner’s where we calculated how to dodge the law, stakes
played with so high make you turn to vegan for the cause
wait!
adhesion kept us all safe
allegiance to the cause, fate
would not be kind to most
that’s how it goes when cons are probate
seattle’s where we locate
our battles where we showcase
designs inside our minds that orbit as the planet rotates
it’s ashes
the boy who used to bear his soul in cl-sses
on napkins where i left my mark
in hopes that i’d surp-ss this
strife that i was given
the plight that kept me driven
the fight fought every night to write the wrong that i was livin
to smite with all my might the crooked types that blight my vision
recite my inner-light to help excite that is my mission
by admission
i aim my voice at the sky
and ask the heavens to for forgiveness if they hear my cries
rise
chorus:
ohhh
they don’t hear me cry
ohhhh
come on baby
ohhh
they don’t hear me cry
ohhhh
come on baby!

verse 2:
my nana dancin’ swingin’
while harold melvin was singin’
had the record player playing
on sunday mornings we cleanin’
those records gave us meaning
they made us feel like we dreaming
just me and my favorite lady would listen into the evening
at night she would hear me weeping
when i was spouse to be sleeping
she’d tell me “boy, rise above it”
don’t n0body owe you nothing in this life
you either rise or plummet
this is life
take what you want from it
and with those words…
i went from standing on the corners with burners til my hands froze
to rockin’ shows from poland to oakland
that was the plan though
and never have to sambo
they’ll never understand though
you grew up where i grew up and still blew up
you the man yo!
you feel me, wave your hands bro
we must connect the dots
cuz when it’s done the kings and p-wns
they go in the same box
and with these thoughts
i leave you
have no fear
it’s a.s.h.e.s baby
the chosen
redemption’s here
yeah!
