fayetal - god enlighten him lyrics
god, please enlighten him
god, please enlighten
please enlighten him
please enlighten
verse:
if this was 1998 ya boy would come into this place and think the world’s new to him
if this was 1999 he would look into his mama’s eyes
by now he’s used to em, a year later he’s glued to em
by 2001, he found out he was someone else’s son
he thought if he ain’t around, then he’s better off with none
better looking at the sun wondering where the f-ck he run to
200-too late to be showing ya face around this place
looking around ya face thinking utter disgrace so i was taught to hate, this was my fate now
my destiny was laid down on a silver plate now
fast forward more 6 years, i’m in a different place now
’bout 8 miles away down the highway, gettin’ way high at 8 years old
just a trip down the driveway
of memory lane, met mrs. jane, began smoking that violet strain
had to calm the pain to restrain from being violent
time went by, now he’s 9 and met his first love
it’s timeless, 09 made his mind flip, quick to reside by his mama’s side
til she died, but he ain’t quick to cry
quit lyin’, inside him his heart was dying
if you eye him you’ll see the message is clear, his face was smiling
but something ain’t right in him, something frightens him
he needs enlightenment- god please enlighten him
hook:
please enlighten him, god please enlighten him
please enlighten, please enlighten him
god, please enlighten him
please enlighten, please enlighten him
verse:
set your sights up, 2 grand 11, 2 years i’d picked the mic up
uncle toucan sam is stressing
coming for the fruits of labor, cooch and paper, coming for that loose leaf paper
the deuce leaves vapor
when you shoot to k!ll the bill
shoot, steal, or k!ll at will
but still we shoot the drill or either loot the pills
this the coupe deville flow
rollin’ over stones, a one-tooth sabre
lost at sea looking for my 40 acres
i’ll fly with my wings, the caped crusader
i’m what you can’t be you candy n-gg-s
chew em out now and later, i came to make a statement
cooking up bread, caught in the raps- anita baker
electric bill running up, the flow’s a switch on the breaker
i didn’t even break a sweat performing this dialect
you ain’t used to, don’t do take twos although the deuce is more truthful
tryna deduce keeping my youth choosing the purest of fruits
life is a drug, i got the connect to my roots
rooting for the shooters with the rugers
as we do this, they just persecute us
rehe-rs- the fall to the he-rs- sooner
if it hurts now, they got us scared of the future, marauders maneuver
out, about time some knowledge spewing outcha mouth
how come us dying is the outcome of life
i count one dead, now make that 2
next it could be me or it could be you
out here it’s life or it’s death
now tell me what do you choose
hook
verse:
the flow so global, supernova solar
flippin’ bars like motorola, i’m a motored locomotive
bipolar with the shot, mix that rock with a coca-cola
i’m in the spot, gear in drive and my mind’s the f-cking chauffeur
if you on the block feel free to post up
doing what i’m s’posed to
out for the cream without the f-cking soda
my mind is getting older, good and bad on top my shoulders
hola, holy jesus speaking “i can’t reach the borders”
i’m feeling nauseous, caution to the wind, a million sins
the kid is awkward
f-ck what the cost is, you’ll be laying in a coffin on that drop-ya-jaw sh-t
the mind of a dark artist playing target practice with an army of words
insomniac verbs, won’t you pardon the herb
some may call me absurd but with all the work that i’m currently putting in
i think i deserve it, this is more than i’ve earned
b-tch this a fire that’s burned for longer than eternity
turning the wheel of life learning to heat a furnace verbally
i don’t tell you my story because i’m scared, it’s for your courtesy
you don’t need to know the deep absurdities, i’m just yearning for the herb and peace
verse (calvin hill):
god please enlighten him
please enlighten him
okay i get it
far from perfect, be the first to admit it
flowin’ acidic, be the one to melt your heart in a minute (i’m sorry)
was too caught up in the women and parties
now i see that my decisions, they cost me
i done lost some good people in life
now i know that every single choice come with a price
chasing cheddar have ya trapped like a mice
i’m the proof for what happens when a rapper meets christ
i am humble, i’ll admit that i fall
make mistakes, i ain’t perfect at all
i am humble, i’ll admit that i fall
make mistakes, i ain’t perfect at all
use me lord, man to answer your call
