lirik lagu born i - silver spring diary

growing up as an african
i never felt black enough
i’ll back it up but first let me say that feeling was
wack as f~ck
a foreigner in foreign land
though i’m first~generation
my identity was more ghanaian than southern plantation
product of colonization a divided mind f
further confused by other black kids
asking if my family swung from vines
there gold the african kid
he walk funny and he talk funny
why he live out here i thought they got money
found peace of mind inside my mothers arms
crack epidemic the 1980s broke a brothers’ bond
early morning baseheads was the friеndliest
what up young blood
my sentiment at first was fеar
but then i gave back love
n~ggas was nine years old and packing heat
i was the subject of attention for bullies and starter jacket thieves
i planned to be the one who would survive it all
the rise and fall
not african enough for my cousins
f~ck it in spite it all
the sides they don’t acccept me will respect me
my silent prayer
decided willingly to walk into the dragons lair
couldn’t be soft on that bel pre street
even though my heart was still truly the texture of fleece
i aspired to be colder
as i got a little older
then i got a little bolder
started rapping now it’s over now
my n~ggas selling soda
open cans of coca~cola
selling eighths of dirt for 40
to your shorty from a rover
i went from catching the y4 to wheaton plaza
to booking chicks out of the cinnabon
to ceasers palace fast forward
and my life is suddenlyin need of balance
its never easy cause a n~gga like me needs a challenge
i’m just a buddhist dude who broke the rubix cube
of what we usedto do
its born i allow me to reintroduce
i’m jus a kid who tried to understand america
and found you had to be a gangster to make them aware of ya
and so i chose to be a gangster of love
you love yourelf and love each other then you gangter enough
peace to silver spring temples silver spring malls, silver spring draws
silver spring eight b~lls and silver spring gods
i paid a price so personal that no one else paid
and ever since the seond grade i was self made
im sick of n~ggas asking me if i believe in god
you think i popped up yesterday just like a fetus nah

it took courage
to find that soul food
when i was malnourished and
may every child flourish
same time may the vial perish
got bonded by the chains of my past
such a foul marriage
tell me should i divorce
or stay true since it influenced
my unsurmountable power force
i think i found the source or found reward
courtesy of that bright shining orb that’s formed
from my spinal cord
as i record rep for those blessing me
from those times before i was born
had a legacy and allegedly i was warned
of quiet storms and still accepted the challenge
arrival based on survival now reflected
through balance
that tested the malice
strictly sp~wned from love
or palming bud laced the dust from the stars above huh
where you from
you should ask yourself
and search beyond them scars
thats found from massa’s welts
a massive help for healin
with detachment felt
and hopefully you’ll no longer
have to clash with self
at last the shelf see
that’s what we’re not meant for
i’ve had n~ggas thats older than me
that i’ve mentored
and f~ck hate
cause too many of us born with the sh~t
no longer should we be torn
cause we born infinite
you might also like
im sick of n~ggas asking me if i believe in god
you think i popped up yesterday just like a fetus nah
