marc q'ban - innocent reign (nooses & crowns) lyrics
[intro: malcom x]
so what you and i have to do is get involved
you and i have to be right there breathing down their throat
every time they look over their shoulder, we want them to see us
[verse 1]
(get yours n-gga!) the innocent die…
fingerprints on that forty ounce is what it takes to survive
i’m a fool for living sober but who’s the fool for judging, tough times inducted
n-ggas invest in p-ssy while the cops k!lling our cousins, you n-ggas walk on your stomachs (snake -ss n-ggas)
i feel it in my spine, the blind leads the blind, a generation declined and have the nerve to overlook the only n-ggas with sight
my thoughts on overdrive there’s no reversing my mind
everything neutral, shot for shot, eye for eye
idolize my thesis as i go to war with these demons
i write to the higher power, penpal letters to jesus (what you say?)
asking, will i see a casket or aspen?
in the lab with magic, till i’m living lavish
running circles around the average a rubixs
from underdog to anubis, i bring light to the future
the nooses are set, some of us won’t make it
the juice of fruitvale was tainted blood painted the station
overtime that red blood turned brown but i will live through this mic, we all connected somehow
[hook]
rest in peace we’ll see you in the stars
i can’t breathe but i can see the wrong
fireback until the freedom comes
it’s p.0.a. till i d.o.a
i holla bomaye and watch the innocent reign
rain on us till we match the other side
the plot twisted as sh-t, i throw my tears at the sky
at the sky
[verse 2]
in love with life, only death could test us
every time i dap my n-ggas see i’m counting blessings
what if i lost e and j and replace them with e&j stressing
so for them i get defensive faster than i hop fences
my o line, turns to d line when i speak my mind
free of thought, free of time
freedom riders feel free to ride the coattail that suited my mission
some are lost in the gimmick programmed by the television
with my heart in it, i’m programmed to tell a vision
chemist with the lyrics, n-gga watch how you mix it like a mulatto child whose father never existed
from bottle to bottle, formula to sipping guinness
administrations menace, admit your admiration
and love the way these kids gravitate to him
with their future lodged in my palms i could get them
to lower these blunts, or load up these guns
it was the same for me. grandma prayed, pops showed me how to hold the heat
antic-p-ting what my life could be
these rap pharisees in fear of me because i’m at a heirs reach
of reaching my peak, it’s all eyes on me
place your fear on my back & i will swim to freedom to put whats real on the map
to every city and town, to every shot from the crowd
the nooses are set, so are the crowns
[hook]
[refrain]
nooses and crowns
[verse 3]
f-ck it, give me them both i’ll come back with a gold rope
something zodiacs never seen, thats the horror of a scope
strength of a taurus, mind in a foreign
how could i die dormant when the innocent reign is pouring
storming, i’ll be sitting on top of the world, with the moon in my lap watching the sea race laps
knocking down the firewalls to handicap blacks
this is facts not fiction, regrets an addiction
alcohol vs religion am i missing something?
jealousy and envy geared toward our emb-ssy but i’ll give up a leg for longevity of my legacy
obama brought us change and had his skin tone engraved in them pennies
keep your two cents if you ain’t talking about these nooses
from ferguson to isis n-ggas lying lifeless and my biggest crisis is dying iceless
asking christ what it is
i will give it my all and watch the fake fall like the statue of saddam
a childless father, ahead of my time in order
n-gga i wrote this rhyme holding on to my daughter
[outro]
innocent reign
