joey the dreamer - evangelion lyrics

Loading...

i knew a kid who had a brilliant thesis
to get him out the ghetto yo his marketing was g+nius
at 13 he left home to travel the world
to soak in all the planet’s wisdom before casting his pearls

he rejected fast living, started spitting his truth
he had some haters, but they had to go through him and his crew
his bars were visionary, scriptures he spit were incendiary
his radical love garnered a buzz from the dignitaries

but with every new sеnsation, rumors claimed he was fake
thеy said come back to your city if you’re really so great
he stood on business, discredited opps with an eyewitness
a couple thousand wowed in the crowd as the sky shifted

plans was working, for certain had to sweeten the deal
when a figure in the shadows said his homie would squeal
said, “here’s the deal, host your final dinner with your brethren
and i’ll grant you immortality, your name will live forever”

he thought about it, stared into the fire
knowing few on earth would contest him as messiah
a new desire was burning in his mind
to be known worldwide as the greatest of all time

he dapped the shadow up, no one saw his angle
it’s just another story how a leader battle angels
so they can make an impact that’s truly insane
and crucify themselves for eternal power and fame
like d+mn
i knew a kid so passionate for justice
born into a world where n+ggas couldn’t ride the buses
with white folks, laws were spiteful
be met with rifles if you trifled

you suicidal, if you resisted get the blindfold
they’d paralyze you from the waist down
if your face brown, stay the f+ck away from they town
ain’t no playground, safe from hate as long as they round
y’all get the message, power only had one race now

he was sick of being treated like sh+t because his color
he organized sit ins and boycotted with his brothers
the cops were hostile, but he had many apostles
who marched with him to washington to hear him spread his gospel

coincidentally, as he broke on the scene
he revealed to the public his utopian dream
sources say before the speech that he was briefed in a room
where a shadowy figure made a deal he couldn’t refuse

he thought about it, stared into the fire
knowing few on earth would contest him as messiah
a new desire was burning in his mind
to be known worldwide as the greatest of all time
he dapped the shadow up, no one saw his angle
it’s just another story how a leader battle angels
so they can make an impact that’s truly insane
and crucify themselves for eternal power and fame
like d+mn

you hear the story of the hero and their vices
we’re quick to call it timeless when there’s human sacrifices
but no one ever questions who the one who wields the scythe is
and what they benefit from taking all these lives quick

many we admire in rap have paid the price with
the height of their fame the same day that they’re dying
but they live forever, maybe pac and big were too clever
was it just another way to cement their name forever?

so how can we transcend into sp+ce it made me think
let our energy be limitless, grace the microphone
embrace the right and wrong, create the nicest poem
relate to the people like the greats that i condone

and that’s the moment that the shadow had appeared
said that he would see me at the battle of the year
he made it clear that he could see my aspirations
but much to his surprise he could see my hesitation
i thought about it, stared into the fire
knowing few on earth would contest i was messiah
a new desire was burning in my mind
to be known worldwide as the greatest of all time

i passed the shadow up, no one saw my angle
i couldn’t be a story of how leaders battle angels
so i could make an impact that’s truly insane
or crucify myself for eternal power and fame
like d+mn
