the wiz (rapper) - salute lyrics

[chorus]
i salute to my homies
rip to my dawgs
farewell to the queens
we gone meet y’all in the stars
i salute to my homies
rip to my dawgs
farewell to the queens
yall forever in our hearts
i salute to my homies
rip to my dawgs
farewell to the queens
up in heaven where y’all are
i salute to my homies
i salute to my dawgs
i salute to the queens
i salute to you all

[verse 1]
i salute
to all the black souls we done lost
burdened by their skin and then forced to pay the cost
a lotta shed tears lotta names been crossed
a lotta new fears is tomorrow on the cards
gotta keep my head up cause the grind won’t stop
til we face a cop and their gun go pop
and the charges drop while the gavel knock
ready or not, the block still hot
because we feelin’ all the tension for divine intervention
like lord please bring em all back
i hear the songs of the slaves, see the names on the graves
like what we finna do about that (bout that!)
and we running out of sp-ce for their face on our shirts
gone numb to the pain so much that it hurts
what’s life really worth, are we blessed are cursed
feelin’ broke but i pay respects first
when i salute

[verse 2 – goldenboy lo]
salute, salute, salute, salute
i do what i have to do
you inspired me, and made an avenue
so i could leave a legacy too…after you
four fingers right above my brow
couldn’t understand then, but i see how much you love me now
fallen soldiers up above the clouds
so many losses of sisters and brothers out
the game of life
at least on this earth though
i swear that it hurts so
tired of the tears and the years we had people on shirts bro
it feels like nothing’s the same
you’d think we’d get used to this pain
but really the truth is you can’t
i still can’t complain
i been blessed to witness ya’ll living and giving the game
believe that i’ll see you again
and i’m not just tellin you thangz
but this is me tellin you thanks!

[verse 3]
i salute
to those who were slain by chains
who never heard freedom ring
i salute
to those who marched and sang
and sat for them brighter days
i salute
to single mothers making ends meet
i swear y’all the mvps
i salute
to sons that’s stayin’ off these streets
be a father to a family
i salute
cause the life that we livin’ is a harsh sound
only time they feel us is during all the pat downs
homie put the mac down, playa put the strap down
another one dead they said ain’t a gat found
victim to da system it’s sad where we at now
all cause our skin brown, black in the face
steady shuckin and jivin but we runnin in place
ain’t really tryna move we jus keepin up the pace
marathon not a race, gotta change our state
willie lynch made the case told em hold us back
said three hundred years from the date in fact
1712 2012 yeah that’s facts
so when tray got wacked felt we started back again
just the first in line, when will the pain end
well it ends right now with you and i
with the power inside we can come and unite
build a business & land, open banks make a plan
keep the church in the hood, spread the word make it good
time to love all our people and raise em on up
by the means of the dreams that were given to us
yeah that black is beauty and it’s formed in night
and it’s made in god’s image and born in delight (da light)
now we gotta do right for our people in truth
so with hand to my head and the spirit imbued
i salute
