j. griff [new] - high road (freestyle) lyrics

Loading...

first thing first rest in peace uncle sam
d+mn, i thought you were the man
growing up believed we were the greatest
but now i realize that view was pretty dated

looking around
my team don’t wanna make a sound
don’t wanna stand out
fearing they’ll take a round

turn the other cheek doesn’t work so well
when a mans got a knee in his back being forced to compel

can we take the high road?
i don’t f+cking know anymore
tell em, mich+lle

intеrlude (mich+lle obama):
“going high is thе only thing that works
because when we go low, when we use those same tactics
of degrading and dehumanizing others
we just become part of the ugly noise
that is drowning out everything else
we degrade ourselves, we degrade the very causes for which we fight”

been fighting so long
i don’t feel the pain anymore
been in pain so long
i don’t wanna fight anymore
been fighting so long
i don’t feel the pain anymore
been in pain so long
i don’t wanna fight anymore
no more, no more

cause we fight every day
just to find our own way
in is the country you created
built upon systems full of hatred
but when we play by their rules
it’s ourselves that end up degraded

my teachers used to say
“your futures bright and hindsight’ is 2020”
but now i’m looking back
like f+ck 2020

i mean rip kobe
this years been smokey
lakers got the trophy

but i gotta recognize
all my otherr brothers and sisters that died
at the hands of leaders who lied
so i’ll say it again, rest in peace uncle sam
d+mn, i thought you were the man
growing up believed we were the greatest
but now i realize that view was pretty dated

looking around
my team don’t wanna make a sound
don’t wanna stand out

fearing they’ll take a round
turn the other cheek doesn’t work so well
when a mans got a knee in his back being forced to compel

2020’s been a long night
high roads getting kinda hard to find
but we can’t give the fight

been fighting so long
i don’t feel the pain anymore
been in pain so long
i don’t wanna fight anymore

been fighting so long
i don’t feel the pain anymore
been in pain so long
i don’t wanna fight anymore
no more, no more
check it
got bags under my eyes
losing sleep from all of these lies
looking around it’s cloudy now
but one day we’ll find blue skies

got bags under my eyes
losing sleep from all of these lies
looking around it’s cloudy now
but, one day we!ll find blue skies

got bags under my eyes
losing sleep from all of these lies
looking around it’s cloudy now
but, one day we’ll find blue skies
blue skies, blue skies

10 toes down and a chin up
mama says that’s all it takes to be a winner
but waking up i don’t feel like a winner

cause when i look at the tv, first thing
i see is old men snickering and lying
bickering while they assure us for us they are really trying

so how bout you keep doing you and imma do me
get your ass to the polling booth and we’ll see
who the real winner is and
what’s in store for the rest
of 2020 and beyond

america out here believing in the future like religion
scared to become the past + a has been

but the power of love has to overcome the love of power
or we’ll just end up cowards
that’s griff i’m gone
