lirik lagu jimmy nice & the know - what do you write?
[verse 1]
stories ’bout yourself are better told by somebody else
but what about the sides we hide?
the life, the lies, the guide hidden deep inside
it’s all tied, even the moon affects the tides
here we are mid~orbit, sitting in different corners
of this hotel room ’cause my pride is chipped
the last tribe that couldn’t read the wisdom in the skies
i can’t lie, even i make me sick
a disciplined man, forward i move, merely a blink
always thought i don’t care what people think of me
underneath the clothes and all this ink on me
i don’t act the same behind closed doors, i mean
“i know she’s with you in spirit” i used to cringe when i’d hear it
how you gon’ make an assumption of where my mother is?
until i started to witness her push and pull from a distance
is it divine intervention or just a mother’s wish?
i don’t know, time is like my only hope
i’m looking for answers, i don’t like my chances, though
though i’m thankful for all you afforded me
by the sword, i lived extraordinary
i’m born (i’m born), i cry (i cry)
i sing (i sing), i leave (i leave)
i know that powers like these are hard to conceive
a sea of hands do what i need, and i don’t say please
move left, move righ,t move like
the indian ocean under moonlight
kinda look like snakeskin from the plane i sit in
when i’m this high, my thoughts resume flight
presume that here ain’t all there is
and the good deeds we did carry on to a new life
couple y’all kept it hoed out for a few likes
and views, couldn’t believe a thing that you’d write
[chorus]
once somebody puts me on
i get my sh~t together
not everyone comes along
i think that’s for the better
life (it’s like dice)
make sure you rollin’ right, rollin’ right
yeah, when it’s time to finally scribe the words
that perfectly describe your life
what do you write?
[verse 2]
what if it’s all a test for the soul?
uh, god knows
no coincidence, just a dice roll
as the clock strikes middle night, the bell tolled
folded hands, a forehead met the land
sacrifices made, a knife to lamb
before we eat or drink, we rinse both hands
i been broke, so i don’t take sh~t for granted
he spoke truth, he showed respect and commanded it
and didn’t blame when it didn’t go how he planned it
he stayed course, trailblazed, made a stand for it
tandem, made everybody raise they standards
he been in quicksand, the devil offered to give him a hand, but
yet and still he withstanded
he outgrew the stigma from which he was branded
that you can’t build a man from a single parent
and now that man ain’t got a single parent, he…
d~mn
he, the only child with the gift of sharing
the echo that left no children abandoned
the fingerprints of god didn’t miss this canvas
and from the building steps, he witnessed the madness
i am him, he is me, real as can be
breathe, may all your wishes be granted
