lukah - rawderves lyrics

[intro]
yeah, uh+huh (yeah)

[verse]
i’m chemically unbalanced, meat is off the charts
peep these hand+written conjurations, i cast ’em after dark
aristocratic art, i convey the raw
what’s on display, the sh+t you can’t portray
let me state: real n+ggas won’t decay, it’s greater powers in this array
see how i lead the way, ain’t sh+t about the god cliché
keep thinkin’ sh+t sorbet
i might have passed on but you can find me your rare [?]
a lost protégé forced to immigrate, causin’ much melee
i waylay y’all, let us pray in name and embrace
laugh as the brain purees, the battle’s underway
i outweigh thosе in place that keeps us blacks astray
the areas of gracе, still i stand in the middle of the fray
spit powerful sounds with the impact of a twelve+gauge
whenever enraged, find peace in tree and this burnin’ sage
if it wasn’t for my cs, i’d probably be on a rampage
[?] music’s how i assuage
moms bred a renegade, settin’ fires to masquerades
explode through barricades with grenades, attack with a fusillade
i’m at war with all brigades, it’s a must i pervade
through the system’s hate, but remain grounded like palisades
thy enemy’s tucked in the glades, i warned them i was made
i deprecate from all of the fake and move with legiti+mates
i’ve been betrayed, scarred, and blazed and i ain’t cry for aid
don’t mourn over my ashes or grave, hit the streets and parade
celebrate the brave through airwaves, yeah, i freed the enslaved
these hymns that i relay were passed down from prisoners, not slaves
my people didn’t submit, they fought back and many of ’em were slain
others taken away for those ropes and chains, the war i wage
don’t think this sh+t is vain, that ripped flesh on their backs was not in vain
some land was stolen from me and mine and i will soon reclaim
and stand under the trees where the twisted mouth, bulgin’ eyes hang
and by the waters where they would sing and pray for the freedom chains
see further past the money and fame, need ways to sustain
be holdin’ on to plenty of shame when proudness should retain
the truth was written in ancestral blood now travelin’ through my veins
once the brains no longer contain, our strength we will regain
i never been afraid of the rain, i thrive when it pours
any [?] removed from the culture, through me we shall restore
you ever seen a thug n+gga soar, ascendin’ evermore?
i see the people drownin’ in aquas, i help ’em come to shore
and furthermore, the fallen will rise and start the dissemination
injectin’ science into the stream, improvin’ the circulation
starvation we will reverse, along with the dehydration
healin’ inflammation with raw sk!lls, this dedication
rawderves, n+gga
[outro]
we’ve been “rapping,” quote+unquote, for a long time
james brown had a song “brother rap”
jesse jackson raps, farrakhan raps
preachers rap in the pulpit with call+and+response
it’s a part of african oral tradition
rap is john coltrane
even though there are no words, he’s rapping with his h+rn
