Lemson – Slavery
Sweet as sympathetic seasons searching for a reason
Such as why does the change occur, it's a blur when leaves are leaving
My soul skinny dips in depths of pits where slaves are
Let the imprint of our fore-fathers tattoo us on our dark scars
That's why our blood boils whenever we hear a profane sound
Media that dumbs us down still leaves us with more smiles than a clown
Let your belligerent brain bring knowledge your professors say they can't,
I'll be damned before they say that your imagination can't dance
Through wisdom comes ignorance first, but barely by chance
Because if we weren't inquisitive we wouldn't have wondered of what we had
School's cool and all but at the cost of crippling our craniums
My pencil's full potential isn't on par to what my brain is in
When your eyelids are blinking your dreams aren't thinking quite correctly
That's why Lincoln freed himself from failure before he set the slaves free
Losing elections prior to his presidency, getting shot wasn't his worst
We're living on Earth which is why you go to Heaven last, because Hell is first
Such as why does the change occur, it's a blur when leaves are leaving
My soul skinny dips in depths of pits where slaves are
Let the imprint of our fore-fathers tattoo us on our dark scars
That's why our blood boils whenever we hear a profane sound
Media that dumbs us down still leaves us with more smiles than a clown
Let your belligerent brain bring knowledge your professors say they can't,
I'll be damned before they say that your imagination can't dance
Through wisdom comes ignorance first, but barely by chance
Because if we weren't inquisitive we wouldn't have wondered of what we had
School's cool and all but at the cost of crippling our craniums
My pencil's full potential isn't on par to what my brain is in
When your eyelids are blinking your dreams aren't thinking quite correctly
That's why Lincoln freed himself from failure before he set the slaves free
Losing elections prior to his presidency, getting shot wasn't his worst
We're living on Earth which is why you go to Heaven last, because Hell is first
