ashes the chosen - not to blame (a.s.h.e.s: the first call) lyrics
intro:
it’s not often a person gets a chance to reflect
in reflecting, my life has been one big paradox
but i prefer paradoxes over prejudice
i’m not blameless
but i’m most certainly not to blame
verse 1:
my life’s motto on the right serato
sound just like malcom when i hit full throttle
el hajj malik on these rhymes on beats
but more malcom little when i hit these streets
i put pen on sheets
put beef to bed
keep the burner tucked
put heart to head
i put mind to thing
and then do that sh-t
how many other m-th-f-cks flow do like this
ask who dat is
that’s a.s.h.e.s
this tabernacle
these m-sses
these beats that ash go spas on
that p-ssion
bout action
i spit life to hoods
i speak truth to burbs
i give hope to plenty with these nouns and verbs
i give meaning to struggle
hopin’ all my n-ggas bubble
in this concrete jungle
til they all say “word!”
chorus:
-i’m not to blame
-for lovin’ you (3x)
-i’m not to blame baby
-for lovin’ you (3x)
verse 2:
i’m back baby
that black baby
that my mama had
i was my daddy’s maybe
was my nana’s favorite
was seattle’s gypsy
was the most hated when the vice came to get me
held back tears when i kissed moms
ate the whole thing
l1cked the whole dish off
with no network
just effort
first 48 got the whole 36 off
had the og n-ggas all p-ssed off
but h-ll… i ain’t care
sh-t, i ain’t scared
told em like they once told me
cash rule everything around me m-th-f-cka
life ain’t fair
i grew up watchin’ yall from park bench
watching n-ggas like ds spark sh-t
am i really to blame?
for simply playing the game?
i was born here
n-gga i ain’t start this
i was raised here n-gga
no clark kent
no white jesus gone save your soul
say money can’t buy happiness
well happiness ain’t paying for no gooddam dinner rolls
not justifying
just identifying
what takes a kid from a cub to lion
what makes a kid go and grab the iron
to triumph
i am…
a.s.h.e.s!
