jeremiah bligen - the code lyrics

[verse 1: jeremiah bligen]
too many ls locked into our caps
i think we need a shift key
bad blood sucks the life out us
i think i feel a tick (sheesh)
real tock, sun might dial you out
watching to clock you for a grip
we’re letting tumors p-ss off as good growth
boy, i think i see a cyst (swish)
we’ve been deceived to not believe the trinity
commitment missed her and her son
we are loyal to the foolish ones
to be trill ogs, like the matrix was
there’s more honor fixing chicken biscuits
than a pistol clip in gripping, flipping birds
before we dead a brother over dollars
pray we’d rather live and die dead broke

think it’s about time that we take
every lie and then break
and dismantle the mantle of pride to create
set a standard of standing tall, let our faith
be a candle to scandal, expose to dispose
re-compose how we think
let our talk be distinct
see that sister as sister, a mother and daughter
a soul to console, not a wh0r- to export
or abort or be bartered
a person to honor
serve and empower, valued they all are
precious, we ought to
die to disguises
we buy just to hide
take our minds to the sky
let the spirit renew
like he leasing a product
self-control, saying no, sacrificing so
to take a hold of christ, the flow
of blood will cease
we have never gone so far, no cause too hard
that the arms of god is too short to reach

[hook: jeremiah bligen]
lights on, they burn bright
my whole life, take everything
pressure’s on, no weapon formed
will flatten us, we box spring
fight through every season and be
salt, dash when the pepper spray
pain up in my face
lace with grace
i ain’t trippin
i’mma run the race

i solemnly pledge (code)
unto the throne (code)
loving our neighbor and (code)
a servant to home (code)
and my community (code)
honor and honesty (code)
living a life worthy (code)
this is the code

[verse 2: thre]

before the code i was never opposed
it was a lane that we all took
we was all in them chains, all entertained
if i can keep it plain we was all hooked
won’t boast in it, no hope in it
i post in it, cause most did it
mo’ sinning, my nose in it, pinok’n it
all lies i switched up my note penning
so everything that i wrote i had a footnote with it
it’s time we stop praising the streets, start praising our king
stop raising our heat, start raising our seed
frustrating indeed but amazing to me
how our hate should be love and embrace enemies
take man and reclaim, reprimand every gang
we expecting a gain by demanding a change
every plan that remains, we will stand and refrain
let our stance be the same, and our land would be tamed

be accountable to other brothers
when we see the beast and animals in one another
god’s grace, indeed, bountiful enough to love us
faith increase undoubtable the ones among us (what?)
would be encouraged by the change
’cause throughout their life they’ve been discouraged by the game
we’re living our life as though the firmament had came
’cause living for christ, it ain’t conservative or lame (nahh)
this more than a new leaf turned! more than a few feet firm!
glory to you! true story that you return
in the morning the mood return, joy is in you!
so we walk the narrow path ’cause we know the road
but we living what we knowing though
’cause our feet gotta match what you speak if we know the code
gone

i solemnly pledge (code)
unto the throne (code)
loving our neighbor and (code)
a servant to home (code)
and my community (code)
honor and honesty (code)
living a life worthy (code)
this is the code

[verse 3: 22]
i done sinned once, i done sinned twice
who could sin better?
i done sinned so much you can call me sindy or sinderella
i got h-ll in my heart and it’s dwelling
so much h-ll in my heart, call me h-llen
we supposed to show love to our neighbors
but we hope they don’t ask us for favors
and that’s real talk but it pains me
i had loco motives, god trained me
we were born into darkness, born to be heartless
but jesus decided to save us regardless
that’s the love we should show others
but we love ourselves and love no others
it’s a disgrace that we get grace
and when it’s time to show it, it gets misplaced

that’s a mistake, but we programmed
we exclude christ from our programs
and we wondering why we got issues with pride
and we cannot admit it so {parts of us die?}
but i don’t trip and i don’t panic
my god, he walked the atlantic
we need god in our plans, i mean
he did plan the whole planet, i mean
he did paint the whole canvas
he can draw clouds, he can draw crowds
you got more houses than morehouse
but without christ, that’s a poor house
so please excuse my french
but oui, we need to repent
so i’m sticking to the code ’cause it never gets old
to the blood-stained streets
til the streets {?} god

i solemnly pledge (code)
unto the throne (code)
loving our neighbor and (code)
a servant to home (code)
and my community (code)
honor and honesty (code)
live a life worthy (code)
this is the code
