lirik lagu mic capes - alia's prologue / a.m. thoughts
[verse 1: alia kin]
now let me think
did it always used to be this way?
i mean our minds have always been like clay
but what’s left when the originality fades and what’s worse to be an outcast or a slave and
how does a flower grow with no sun and only shade and
i question those who don’t oppose and just obey
who like a dog sit, stand, and lay even sh~t when they say but
you would too if all you knew was concrete and your dreams became obsolete
while your mind became weak
where your voice fell on deaf ears
so why the h~ll should i speak where
your creativity was neglected so why the h~ll should i think, well
you ain’t the only one with frustration
the only one promised change still waiting
the only one laying face down on the pavement
where cops get away with murder and then blame it on mistaken his hoodie as a sign of aggressive behavior
the labels, the stereotypes that degrade you
in place to point the fingers instead of aim them at your neighbors
being hypnotized by the glitter and blindsided by the gleam
but the grass ain’t always as green as it seems
would you dare to leave the cave it that meant sacrificing things
living vicariously through fantasies
what would you ever dare to dream
[verse 2: mic capes]
looking out my window
the dreamin’ worth it see on the surface i’m confident
below we nervous we rarely heard of accomplishments
seeking knowledge but rarely be on some college sh~t
unless you vinnie my n~gga got him a scholarship
but that’s few and far between my n~gga i mean
where we from it ain’t clean and all serene my n~gga
making money selling trees or we plotting on a scheme
this little part of st. johns is all we seen my n~gga
his possibilities strangled by lack of role models
oppression eat at your faith and leave your soul swallowed
t.v. paint us as criminals k!ll our self~esteem
eternal hate takes the place of greatness never seen
bury potential covered by lack of guidance
feel like we never heard so we react with violence
hard to show love cause love was never shown
yet i still dream it’s all i’ve ever known
looking out my window
but baby don’t mind me cause i be in my own mind
looking out my window
but baby don’t mind me cause i be in my own mind
