rasheed chappell - my epic - portraits lyrics

[verse 1]
welcome to my epic
was written for your amus+m+nt
all my years of living’ i put it inside the music
sorry for confusion illusions i don’t provide
hungry bellies turn to felons the place i reside
homicide on the daily babies born to addiction
the outside world i offer my description
clinics abort a fetus the loss of black g+nius
adidas hang on wires as a symbol of death
life we don’t appreciate houses they depreciate
use anything to numb it out helps to alleviate
the load carried, roads travelled alone
it’s my poetic justice
i’m facing life in this poem

[verse 2]
started as a hobby for fun, rhyming for sport
to my people i’m their savior, live i report
as a portrait of humanity forgotten by society
often emulated now ain’t that f+cking irony
they package and they sell it, distribute and make millions
we fight for the crumbs from the top
through glass ceilings, pray that we can make it out
’cause we got hopes and dreams but they hard to attain
with no ways and means so we cook clean
athlete rap, sing, ghetto and the barrios
africans and latins, i speak for you, i sincerely do
i see your beauty and they gon’ see it too
[verse 3]
i’m from the cesspool parasites, celsius, fahrenheit
ice cold life’s a gamble, every steps a dice roll
tread light red white blues the demeanor
informers turn subpoenas
subpoenas come from a snitch
no glitch on your computer screen, iphone, ‘droid
system incompatible, we all non void
my anatomy of chaos, preachers searching for souls
pushers looking for bodies, devil luring them both
no apology, prophecies written in blood
i’m the hate that hate made, lines written with love
welcome to my epic i live it for your amus+m+nt
everything i have i leave it inside the music
enjoy!

[outro]
i hope you enjoy
it’s all that i have
it’s all that i am
and i share it with you
