about

hook
I roll outta bed and fall right on my knees/
I always talk to God first that's what my father taught me/
and next I take a second to breathe and meditate/
Thats God talking to me/
Uhh rolled oats or the quinoa seeds-gives me the energy that I need/
to keep on stepping and keep on pressing/
Never stressing Im just counting my blessings/

verse one
7 affirmations I remind myself daily/
reason why I wake, breathe aint just to get paid see/
I sow seeds of encouragement and strong faith/
that's nourishment to the underfed now say your grace/
feast, like the holy days of passover, take yo cups eat drink and be merry/
the season of brokenness passed over- time to buy homes and get married/
grow almond trees and acai berries/
herb gardens with lavender and rosemary/
dojo's in the basement, vast libraries/
so we can search for truth uncover lies buried/
home school our seeds we need to take it there/
teach about Touissant L'overture not Shakespeare/
let our daughters know their hair is beautiful the way it grows/
so no more chemicals or operations for our nose/
they do the Nae Nae dance and chicken noodle soup/
but looked confused when they hear about Timbuktu/
teach em how to dougie but wont teach em Frederick Douglas/
or Nat Turner- but they know how to turn up/
they pop mollies- roll exstacy pills for real/
need to learn how to use the herbs to heal that's real/
so I go in the booth with zea/
and jubilee to uncover the truth concealed/

hook


Verse 2
the spirit moving through me so its hard for me to stop/
need no alarm just my biological clock ock/
Yashaya's my great King Ahaya he wakes me/
to enjoy the lessons and blessings the days brings/
the song I sing thankful and grateful's the way to be/
depression and stressing's no way for me/
I try to school my sister- give her wisdom from scriptures/
screw what them doctors say my nephew don't need them prescriptions/
Genesis 1:23 herbs bearing seeds/
not some bottle of pills that's perverse to me/
but wait read, side effects, may bleed/
internally tha'ts worse than them symptoms it aims to treat/
take heed ADHD make beleive/
diagnosis is he a kid with youthful energy/
I was the same way, went outside to play/
no ipad, DS, or ps3/
Long bike rides, slap box, fist fights/
catch snakes, fishing trips, manhunt all night/
we used to climb up on the bakery roof/
what happened to that, he gets fat in his room all cooped/
up on facebook need to pick a book up/
bout to be in 8th grade barely do 8 pushups/
and Neph I aint coming down on you hard/
I just want you to know that you god/
