cellus hamilton - first amendment lyrics

first amendment
written by: marcellius preston hamilton
produced by: ckwnce
verse:
my father made me practice walking with my head high.
back then i didn’t get it.
it was stupid
a waste of time
saw no value in it.
he would say things like.
be yourself.
always be the difference.
cause when you open yo mouth to speak
all the nations listen.
the problem with a lot of men
we ain’t acknowledgin
is greatness lives in every son
but fathers call it out of them
my dad declared a bunch of things.
i couldn’t see it.
but he kept calling me king
til one day i believed it.
fast forward to my kingship.
still haven’t found my queen yet.
but yet i reign.
cause this blood that’s in my veins
make it so.
make it so

i remember leaving college like
“god don’t have accidents”
never knew that i day left
i’d never go back again.
never knew not graduating
was gone show his glory in my story
no degree
but i walked in that anointing
for my ceremony
my household is the
family that made it out the hood.
lot of uncles and aunties
have never understood.

i was growing up being hated
but never heard
now i spit these verses that
got em hanging on every word
but see my parents was strategic.
provided me the life,
yet still made sure that i seen it.
so i won’t grow up blind in these white schools.
kicked outta high school.
for petty crime that gets overlooked for a white dude.

right now where i live.
its people tryna build each other
but right now
back in kansas city they still k!ll each other
the midwest still a jungle yet its like no other
full of animals trapped in cages
government shortin wages.
drugs got us so sedated
restaurants overweighted.
ain’t no restaurants with waiters.
man…
this verse is how i manifest my 1st amendment.
this world is sick and cancer ain’t our worst condition.
i wrote this verse sitting in a hood you ain’t welcome in.
see, you don’t speak our language.
you a consumer of hiphop culture where hood is tainted.
you prolly think that yo platinum album gone reach the nations
clearly you ain’t walked through the hood
round here you ain’t that famous.
and ain’t no smiles
they’ll steal your joy less you rock disquise
we ain’t fam,
but our handshake gave us family ties.
the opposite of birthday.
ain’t no party
just surprise.
(gunshots)
the king of hiphop must had to struggle
they always do.
ima king and hiphop is what i really do.
i can take you down memory lane.
it’s right around the corner
on his death and his resurrection
i spit the truth.
when you poor,
you make due with advice that’s really bull
like when you hungry.
sleep on your stomach to feel it full
i done ate enough
noodles for a lifetime
so please
stop asking
bout my hunger in these interviews.
i quit both of my jobs
and left atlanta happy
i knew the lord would provide
because he always had me.
next thing that i knew
i was doubting truth
barely breathing in the
city that never sleeps
call it sleep apne
i was homeless
i used planet fitness for my showers

they let me stay in lobbies
buying coffee every hour
but dunkin donuts ain’t that comfortable
especially for a christian who
believing for a life just like the huxtables.

i ain’t perfect
i’m just tryna serve him faithfully.
i am not religious.
it is just his face i seek.
you keep waving hands.
i will sit here at his feet.
you keep waving hands.
i will sit here at his feet.
