lirik lagu a-roy - insecurities
(verse 1)
i found my heart in this music, what else could i do
but craft my art and try to use it, ‘cause the red, white and blue
taught me, that i can have what i want in this country
setbacks ‘cause i’m black, but i never been hungry
back track, about my race most people rarely care
oppression is a thing of the past, it’s in yo’ head
if you claiming that “the man” stopping you from achieving
can’t say we all equal, but our chances have increased
to be successful, still i feel the pressure from this stress
i got my education but it left my -ss in debt
worse yet, the job market ain’t what you expect
with two degrees i barely see gs from my check
the way i was told, get a degree and get the cheese
but all i see is people chasing dreams, or plotting schemes
to get their money right, maybe i missed my true calling
or maybe just infatuated with a l-st for balling…
(break 1)
yo, i’ve learned that a good life comes from good decision making y’all. how you spend your time? are you selfish, or do you give back, yo…
i’m screaming f-ck the world ‘cause that b-tch lied to me
i was supposed to make it big, like i hit the lottery
my parents taught me right, my behavior kept it tight
i made good grades in school, went to church, stayed home at night
i’m banking on the golden rule, ‘cause my heart is golden
but my bank account ain’t full, in fact that b-tch is frozen
known to give the best of me to whoever asks
since a tike i’ve been that dude that you can call when times get bad
should’ve been more selfish, cared too much what people thought
myself became an after-thought, and opportunities were lost
my life was set up perfect, to live it just for me
and no one would be hurt by my decision to fly free
now i see, clearly, 20/20 hindsight
and i’ve prayed sincerely plenty nights
that i could just re-unite, d-mn, with my only real friend
and make a living through this music with my pen…
(break 2)
yo as i grow older, the more time i spend thinking about how big the world is, but i realize everybody wants the same things out of life. question is, how do you get ‘em?
(verse 2)
i’m back to praying and reading; i had stopped for a while
wondering if h-ll is real-it’s too hot for me now
‘cause “h-ll on earth” is real, i feel you, hav and p
but i believe in jesus, so i’m searching for my peace
while still tryna’ get a piece of the american pie
ain’t no god in our schools, but government’s asking why
all our kids are lost, sh-t, we lost all our sense
more concerned with big business, chasing dollars and cents
more concerned with building prisons, no rehabilitation
hate to think where i would be if god wasn’t patient
if jesus wasn’t gracious, all men need a second chance
and kids deserve the right to feel loved by a parent
maybe i’m ranting, but i do my part to make a change
could do more, but i’m still here and i won’t stay the same
2011, a-roy’ll make his presence felt
i’m terrified to fail, but expect my best until my last breath
