Brother Ali - Shadows on the Sun слова песни

(We`d like to capture your minds right now)(What you say)(Take you a little bit higher)(What you say) (3X)[ VERSE 1 ]I like the snares loud enough to make your eyes blink from itOnly male with the Holy Grail, drink from itI keep an eye on heaven and a ear to the streetAnd spread a thick layer of blood, sweat and tears on the beatsMy brain rest upon the hip-hop lexiconThat I acquired in the decade of work that people slept uponI don`t rap, I recite the prayers of the inner soulOf the slave ships` human cargoSeemingly meaningless rappers flood the marketWith shit that make me pace in my room until I rip the carpetI`m fit to start up this next millenniumSwingin the grappling hook at cackling crooks to finish emThe city dweller sendin telegrams from NeverlandThe better man ( ? ) kindly join the caravanWe`re like a rock band that pack contrabandAnd won`t hesitate to stomp a man into the rocks and sandBrother Ali, and if you haven`t heard about meI`m flyin just beneath your radar so y`all can doubt meStay on the sonar with crowbars to open mindsThere`s a ladder you`re supposed to climbApproach a Rhymesayer with a Buggsy Siegel sized egoYou gon` get yourself snatched out the sky, you know the steeloBy now, where, what, why and howWe start the revolution real time, right now[ CHORUS ]Yes, leave it to me to create hope where there was noneThe human being shall cast shadows on the sunLeave it to me to create hope where there was noneMy inner soul shall cast shadows on the sunJust leave it to me to create hope where there was noneThe human being shall cast shadows on the sunLeave it to me to create hope where there was noneMy inner soul shall, my inner light shall..[ VERSE 2 ]I rhyme for cats up in the harbor lightsPrayin they don`t starve tonightAnd stay positive in the face of a harder lifeMy chorus light the torch for those on whom the sun setVerses meant to speak for the voicelessSo let us never be dismayed or afraidThe ground we`re walkin on is stainedWith the blood of those before us who cameSoldiers in this freedom movement are too numerous to nameCause the human soul yearns to be free, it`s all the sameI rhyme for runaways prayin that they see another dayYou gotta make it through the winter to feel some summer daysIt`s for my natives, it`s history in the way their hair is braidedElephants never forget, that`s how they say itTell my man [Name] in prison keep grinnin because he`s innocentAnd tell him that the tests we get are heaven-sentListen, I rap for the ones that Johnny Cash wore, the black, forBlack and white women that were turned to crackhoresAnd I empty everything in the bank to give for itI empty all the days of my life to live for itAnd I empty all the blood in my veins to fight for itSo I empty all the ink in this pen to write for it[ CHORUS ][ VERSE 3 ]I glance in the sky and see the same cloud configurationThat Nat Turner saw the day they hanged himResisted in the face of adversity with a fist and it was raisedOne finger extended, meaning Allah be praisedSpent days in Heaven`s embassyOn Qu`ran pages Allah explains this legacyAngels doubted Adam, Jacob`s brothers clapped himAnd ancient Pharaohs were too brutal to fathomIf all the earth`s oceans were ink and the trees were pensYou could never write the knowledge of God, it never endsAnd I know it feels like the whip wounds will never mendBut it`s the way of makin the oppressed prevalent menWe standin with humanity at destiny`s doorChanting the war cry, it goes, "Never no more"So if y`all tryina talk about the horrors you seeFeel free to tell your stories through me[ CHORUS ]There`s only one God and he`s not just aboveThere`s only one man and there`s only one loveTill everybody gets what I instill in my seedFor that y`all, we willin to bleedThere`s only one God and he`s not just aboveThere`s only one woman and there`s only one loveWe doin this till all of Adam`s children are freedAnd for that y`all, we willin to bleed
