sa-roc - emergence lyrics

[intro: saul williams]
shaped by darkness as much as light
descendant of the sharecropper’s plight
from can’t see in the morning to can’t see at night
to second sight
with the wherewithal to fight
an exercise of excision, excavation, exorcism
to heal the spirit and reveal the prism
beyond the prison
groomed by addiction
tuned by a vision
one woman, one mission

[verse: sa+roc]
follow me
i am the wildest dreams of rebels and kings
incredible odds i battled and won
then circled the sun and settled here, bred of a fiend
daughter of dust, trudged through the rocks to chase them revenue streams
my family’s familiar with crops, but they ain’t accustomed to none of the cream
the funniest thing, spent the first two of my years unable to scream
’cause i was born wrapped in ancient pain, the kind that needed to cling
we went from slaving farms to reaganomics, h+ll of a swing
a different war, but same old target, backs embellished with wings
n+ggas, never, negus, clever
needles turned to nino’s era
brown girl with a thin skin
they said i’d never make it this far
that was the devil, baby, this god
i’m one of heaven’s favorites, ishtar
brown girl with a thin skin
they said i’d never make it this far
that was the devil, baby, this god
i’m one of heaven’s favorites, ishtar
look at me now, look at me now
look at me now, look at me now
look at me now, look at me now
look at me now, look at me now
