ceschi - beginning of a new era lyrics

Loading...

4:44 am
feds flock to the front yard again
guns to the heads of my friends
that was me back then
in 0+10

only been waiting for something to take me away from the cycle of violence

look in my brain there is infinite dread and i’m living inside of a riot

4:44 am
shaking in my bed
drenched in sweat
am i gonna get out of the life i lead ?
am i gonna have my body filled with lead?

i have been running away from my fears for too long now i’m ready to face them

freedom is something so beautiful but it’s difficult to navigate within

new haven connecticut
they got him in the street
10 shots by the cowardly police
they don’t gotta do time
just paid leave
worst case
they’re gonna retire early
og told me this the life we chose
no sleep
sometimes we get heaters to the dome
dont weep

you on fleek ?
shut your lip
petty little puppets but they claiming to be free

what i gotta do to make a muf+cka listen ?
what i gotta do to make a muf+cka listen ?
what i gotta do to make a muf+cka listen ?
say b+tch ?
call em a b+tch ?

this is the beginning of a new era
i can feel it
i wanna believe again
i mean it

this is the beginning of a new era
i can feel it
i wanna live again
i mean it

444 am
just found out about another dead friend
is it suicide or heroin ?
wondering if i am next
444 am
shaking in my bed
drenched in sweat
am i gonna get out of the life i lead ?
am i gonna have my body filled with lead ?

my brain is stuck between trying to k!ll me or take me away from the violence
cacophony is still surrounding me so i’m
sitting here praying for silence

they don’t like my spit
never fit their image
they forgot that was here since the beginning

black and white world
with some black and white critics
i was never either
so i never quite slid in

the game don’t love you
can’t catch feelings
all i ever wanted was to
smash glass ceilings

they don’t like the fact i don’t look like i rap
never looked like i trapped
that put money in the bank
f+cked over so many times
point blank
hard to even put it in a rhyme that’s frank

false motherf+ckers
gotta have a lot of b+lls
to forgive another k!ller trying to catch you in his jaws

pathetic the ways that they try to rip us all apart
it’s a class war out there
dont get lost

still believing in possibilities we got
but survival can cost

in my teens i read some zinn
then bookchin
high school scholarship then
college scholarship then

education is / isn’t privilege
hip hop is

take it back from big biz
old money men never really gave a sh+t
they just wanna sell poverty to the rich
they just wanna sell pain for profit

f+ck them hard and quick
on this d+ck
they can sit
i will slit
rulers necks

let them wear
brick anklets
sleep with fish

temples get torn to the ground
bambatta gone now
seems that they forgot about
boricua / boricuop kids with big mouths

since kool herc been down
acting like we never been around
this my blood too
melt down plastic crowns

acting like we’ve never been around
this my blood too
melt down plastic crowns
now

when i was a kid outside oaktown
watched the hills all burning down
’89 earthquake
battle of bay bridge
berkeley
watched my family drown

ashby flea market
drum circles
malcom x is what i found
ice t
bd pe
k!ll at will tape
digital underground

respect art you clowns
this ain’t acting
fashion
rainbow mouths
this ain’t shocking
only honest
fake four hip hop for right now

temples get torn to the ground
bambaataa gone now
seems that they forgot about
boricuop kids with big mouths
since kool herc been down
acting like we never been around
this my blood too
melt down plastic crowns
how
anyone in they right mind
ever gonna think that they’re rapping better than me ?
own this f+cking sound
now

this is the beginning of a new era
this is the beginning of a new era
i can feel it
i wanna live again
i mean it

never made out with death ?
never had a year when you lost seven friends?
never had to serve a mandatory minimum?
your opinion’s invalid

never got f+cked by death ?
never had a cop put a gun to your head ?
never had to serve a mandatory minimum?
your opinion ain’t sh+t then
trick
