lirik lagu june marx - tears of the sun
[verse 1]
tears of the sun, that’s right
looking out the window on the avenue strip
the pen and pad where i sit
and what i craft with my hands is a gift
i travel uncharted lands with the language i script
some corrupt the hearts of man, have him savage and sick
the challenge is this
embedded so the message is clear
it’s a very thin line between heaven and here
a very grim time, find strength in the fear
my lines is like a treasure that’s rare
get your mind right, say goodbye to your woes that’s in your hindsight
some sacrifice their soul for the limelight
my advice i’ve been meaning to give you
protect your faith, eliminate demons that whisper
from summertime in june to the season of winter
a young montezu froze screaming and shiver
under the moon the free spirit uplifts ya
when they don’t recognize who they see in the mirror
[chorus x2]
it’s like a war, a war for your soul
to fill your spirit with doubt and loss of control
march through the roads where it’s harsh and it’s cold
but we’re still strong though our scars are exposed
[verse 2]
now some face the odds in a hazardous sector
and some praise allah and they travel to mecca
and some say god left them abandoned with lesser
and some say it’s hard just withstanding the pressure
but you can’t measure worth by the president’s home
you resemble his melanin and inherit the throne
in a city seen violence, a treacherous zone
from the philippine islands to sierra leone we treasure our home
they’re rendered worthless, older women attend the service
walk the streets gotta clench purses
senseless murders i witnessed from the balcony
set the talent free, stripped of my reality
i plan to be investing in my regimen
and my sound is medicine for the veteran
no need for further proof when it’s evident
and you’re still searching for truth in the testament
[chorus x2]
it’s like a war, a war for your soul
to fill your spirit with doubt and loss of control
march through the roads where it’s harsh and it’s cold
but we’re still strong though our scars are exposed
[verse 3]
they say i’m blessed with divine vision
but i dwell inside a crime system
find wisdom every line written
through blind ambition rise through affliction
look inside, find your inner child livin’
we’re missing and often involving it is costly
’84 street frozen corners of canarsie
set the heart free with lyrics i wrote
privilege revoked surrounded by cigarette smoke
political vote for guidance but they bring us no hope
and ceo’s sniff on a boat
sh-t is crazy, ain’t it?
ride the l train and subway’s spraypainted
images of love tained on the grey pavement
above enslavement but trapped in a rat maze
beneath flat ridge junction and dirty cash pays
new york skyline thinking of my past days
notebooks opened and blunts in my ash trays
it’s real
