sa-roc - flawless lyrics
-note some of these lyrics may be incorrect
my mommy told me that i was a shining star
a bright light sort of a beacon amidst the dark
she stood me in front of mirrors and made me look at myself – not at what they said i was but what i truly are
i couldn’t see the beauty i just saw a jagged scar
a high yellow short nappy headed flower wall
i meant to say wall flower pardon the slip of the tongue
bearing your soul has never been a gift of the young
so i remain alien never inside the margins
navigating treacherous roads without a comp-ss
hard for ghetto children to survive the world concious
they fairy tales is filled with poisonous apples and monsters
we shrink so we wouldn’t be the next set of targets
and thats how a diamond dulls after starting flawless
absolutely flawless
pierce dark shadow pierce through solid armour
vocal streets sweep a buck south through the speaker
step into my zone mad rhymes will stifle ya x2
as innocence fades we bitterly age
our days of youth are sentimentally praised
to soothe our memories of abuse
we came through the barrage
our skins a little harder
our pride was wounded
our hearts totally guarded
my generation x became the living martyrs
dodging – bullets and police department sergeants
the same time we claiming our sovereignty from the fraudulent
do wicked rich have blindfolds or see us clearly starving
sometimes our souls get lost up in the bargain, can’t you see the problem?
but every soldier that’s still fighting for freedom inspires yet another child to keep believing
that heroes exist with black skin and full lips and dreams can be reality if we can just persist
the wall thinks the strong can prevail if we learn as we grow to just resist
vocal streets sweep a buck south through the speaker
step into my zone mad rhymes will stifle ya x2
pierce dark shadow pierce through solid armour
vocal streets sweep a buck south through the speaker
step into my zone mad rhymes will stifle ya x2
the roads clearer now, the way is nearer now
i see the beauty looking back inside the mirror now
her light shines without shame and a nap strong
her small frame a powerhouse born a warrior
we black diamonds, never stop shining
just so used to suffering we stopped even trying
as cycles shift and dark clouds are lifting
we ride through the storms, shields up, no slipping
we are wiser now, stakes are higher now
knowledge leads to wisdom understanding locks the cipher down
then we free our culture , refine our power base
level the playing field, peep the god inside our face
destroy our weakness build a nation from a higher place
born again as shining stars beaming from the light of sp-ce
and that’s cipher
pierce dark shadow pierce through solid armour
vocal streets sweep a buck south through the speaker
step into my zone mad rhymes will stifle ya x2
