mychelle lee - radio raheem lyrics
[ mister senor love daddy]
yo! hold up! time out! time out!
y’all take a chill! ya need to cool
that s— out! and that’s the double truth, ruth!
[radio raheem]
let me tell you the story of right hand, left hand
it’s a tale of good and evil
hate: it was with this hand that cane iced his brother
love: these five fingers, they go straight to the soul of man
the right hand: the hand of love
[verse 1: mych-lle lee]
i got a lot to say
and nah i ain’t afraid say it
the planets too corrupt
and ain’t no shame
in how they playin/
it’s too much to handle
and my brains
headed for damage
tryna’ occupy my mind
because the news wants me to panic
the world has lost it’s mind
and they ain’t got a pill for that
the rights i thought i had
im thinkin’ that they want em back/
we blinded to our needs, gl-ssy eyed like cataracts
price tag on the history we didn’t learn in cl-ss
(we’ve regressed)
once before, we were on fire for the best.
but extinguished all our p-ssion and swept it under our mess
thinking that we lucky ,but reality says blessed
we gluttons for this power, but can’t stomach what we digest
(i digress)
better days
we long for em, but they delayed
try to meet em half way, but see that’s too p-ssé
so come what may, guess content we’ll stay
but that’s my prayer today, deliver what we can’t change/
[radio raheem]
the story of life is this: static
one hand is always fighting the other hand
and the left hand is kicking much -ss
i mean, it looks like the right hand, love, is finished
[verse 2: mych-lle lee]
jus the other day i saw a baby with a smile
it hurt me to my heart to see the present she has now
laughin like its nothing,while her momma stifles tears
as the martial hands the flag, that resembles all her fears
how do you explain ya daddy was in a fight
it had to take his life, ‘cuz wat happened on a flight
see bushes in the field, weren’t operating right
so daddy had to go and kiss his future goodbye
here’s the teddy bear he bought you to remember him by
and here’s his favorite shirt he wore on the 4 of july/
the day we broke free but enslaved other tribes
and separated a nation with a spectral divide
and we do it all again in the pursuit of black gold
with lives on the line like summer time clothes
red for the blood, blue tears for the bold
wrapped up with a picture and his favorite cologne
[radio raheem]
but hold on, stop the presses, the right hand is coming back
yeah, he got the left hand on the ropes, now, that’s right
ooh, it’s a devastating right and hate is hurt
he’s down. left-hand hate koed by love
[verse 3: mych-lle lee]
it ain’t a love lost and it ain’t love gained
instead, it’s just existence and a drive to sustain
the sanity of man, when the truth is under weighed
and the perplexity of lies becomes simpler than plain
blanketing the bed where we’re coddled in belief
that there’s no hope left in the numbers in which we keep
so we dialing back 4283
4 letters that defines the perception of we
that as a human being, we’re all hesitant to speak
hesitant to act ‘cuz what society preach
society sucks, but see we fail to ignore
that the fit of all these molds isn’t fitting true to form
ignorance is bliss, but not when knowledge reigns supreme
red tape up on our lips, remove it with loves beam
we affectionately invested in the war on selfish schemes
that we k!ll the messenger named radio raheem
(song ends with radio raheem’s death in the background)
