mayor talib - the hills lyrics

[hook]
part of the problem is
you read about the shooting
but you focused on the looting
that’s a hill that i’m a live on
part of the problem is
the issues are systemic
corporate money endemic
that’s a hill that i’m a live on
part of the problem is
the media’s depiction
of progressives with conviction
that’s a hill that i’m a live on
peace to all the leaders
who fought against folk who cheat us
put the people first and never was elitist
they live on

[verse 1]
embark on infinity
with a spark of divinity
related to the wickedness
like the darkness was kin to me
had to mark up my energy
hit it with some revisions
with precision
making sure that i clarified my decisions
mad collisions
with people who would say
they thought they knew me
wasn’t trying to hear the new me
had no problem with it truly
was misdirected
on the way to my awakening
not who i was some years ago
some say that i was faking then
took a minute to break it in
skepticism was healthy
+n+lyzing the wealthy
evil is moving stealthy
might be amazed at whose
sustaining these inequities
don’t think you in the clear
because you always act respectably
a model citizen
won’t guarantee or get us in
to any room you see as an honor
ain’t trying to fit us in
some only wanna take a token at a time
broken in my prime
got myself together spoken a rhyme
[hook]
part of the problem is
you read about the shooting
but you focused on the looting
that’s a hill that i’m a live on
part of the problem is
the issues are systemic
corporate money endemic
that’s a hill that i’m a live on
part of the problem is
the media’s depiction
of progressives with conviction
that’s a hill that i’m a live on
peace to all the leaders
who fought against folk who cheat us
put the people first and never was elitist
they live on

[bridge]
i hear a lot folk talk about hills they’re willing to die on
but since none of us know the day or the hour
i invite you to envision yourself living in the world that we’re fighting so hard to create

[verse 2]
all i see is smoke and mirrors
hoping that the folk will hear us
chaos all around me
it’s the reason that i spoke the clearest
i still remember when the pressure
had me mumbling
don’t really talk about it
going through it can be humbling
from bumbling to building
i found the answers and drilled in
all the knowledge that was needed
keep educating the children
it’s wonderful how we still win
overcoming injustice
united we can fight it
but most of the time it’s just us trust us
thinking we fabricating
you crabs are hating
nothing but obstruction
with no production you abdicating
cabs are waiting
go take an uber to wherever
ain’t no point in being here
if you not about the endeavors
pull the lever let’s get activated
naturally acclimated
to places and people who obviously
hate the fact i made it fact i paid it
doing they best to hide all they biases
why appease
say what you gotta say to the liars please
[hook]
part of the problem is
you read about the shooting
but you focused on the looting
that’s a hill that i’m a live on
part of the problem is
the issues are systemic
corporate money endemic
that’s a hill that i’m a live on
part of the problem is
the media’s depiction
of progressives with conviction
that’s a hill that i’m a live on
peace to all the leaders
who fought against folk who cheat us
put the people first and never was elitist
they live on
