《Caged Birdsong》歌词

[00:00:04] Yeah

[00:00:09] S'a few things that I

[00:00:16] I wanna get off my chest

[00:00:17] So I'ma get 'em off

[00:00:20] The d**gs the streets the thugs that beat they women

[00:00:23] The hate and the violence the guns the bullets that sent them

[00:00:25] The ice the jewels the fools that's killing to get them

[00:00:28] Or heist with tools strategically placed in their denim

[00:00:30] The corner the store the spirits the wine the liquor

[00:00:33] The sinning it's venom it's making society sicker

[00:00:35] The henny the 'tron the dale the goose the crown

[00:00:38] The pimps is up the h*es is usually down

[00:00:40] The kids in the hall that piss in the corner the rats

[00:00:43] The chicks be watching the watchers be watching them back

[00:00:45] The fatherless babies the mothers that live in despair

[00:00:48] The tenement builders with roaches just chilling in there

[00:00:50] The silence is never the sirens be scraping the air

[00:00:53] It kills to ignore it but it doesn't hurt you to care

[00:00:55] It hurts to ignore it but it doesn't kill you to care

[00:00:58] It kills to ignore it but do you

[00:01:02] No

[00:01:04] You have a soul

[00:01:07] And it's worth more than gold

[00:01:14] Worth more than gold

[00:01:17] Hoping you're mine

[00:01:24] Let it unfold

[00:01:29] And you will find

[00:01:34] Treasures untold

[00:01:36] That are worth more than gold

[00:01:41] If heaven is a place on earth

[00:01:42] Then there ain't no way a dollar could replace your worth

[00:01:45] I hope you know that you're priceless

[00:01:46] This life gets the point that you feel like

[00:01:48] You could point your steel right to the temple

[00:01:50] It's so simple

[00:01:51] The capitol hill is the capital killers

[00:01:53] Bills passed to bill us back for stamps and keys

[00:01:55] The system is so diseased

[00:01:57] Ain't a vaccine to cure it

[00:01:58] And if your skin like mine we gonna have to endure it

[00:02:01] Until we can birth a new nation

[00:02:03] Mature it to the level of ancient African civilizations

[00:02:05] Half of us up in this nation

[00:02:07] Now I know about the hoops we share

[00:02:09] Peace to my people who's already there

[00:02:11] It's a family affair sisters and brothers of one soul

[00:02:14] Before we hit the heavens above this world gold

[00:02:16] Before we hit the heavens above this world gold

[00:02:19] Before we hit the heavens do you

[00:02:23] Know

[00:02:25] You have a soul

[00:02:29] And it's worth more than gold

[00:02:35] Worth more than gold

[00:02:40] Just let me help you

[00:02:45] Carry your load

[00:02:48] Open your heart

[00:02:55] Share what it holds

[00:02:56] 'cause it's worth more than gold

[00:03:01] The wait is up now

[00:03:03] I'm throwing it around

[00:03:04] The hate you handing out

[00:03:06] I throw it to the ground

[00:03:07] Too black too strong for this

[00:03:09] Never thought that I would sit and write a song to this

[00:03:11] But what you expect when a hunger in your stomach so strong

[00:03:14] That when you hear the radio you wanna vomit

[00:03:17] And when you look at the TV your heart plummet

[00:03:19] It shame me to see how they be showing us on it
