lirik lagu rise rashid - a kings death
chorus (sampha)
calculate indecision, can’t cradle fear no more
bear the shame of the incision, all lain cold across the floor
your heart pounds with precision, a king dies inside his courts
your heart pounds with precision, a king dies inside these doors
verse 1 (rise rashid)
i was sleeping and i was dreaming about that war
heard somebody beating at my door and i started reaching for my sword
started peeping out the window like malcolm felt the allure
that’s some body’s about to die, me or him, either or
i’m looking him into his eyes, and i know that i seen him before
i could’ve asked him what he needed, but it’s me that he looking for
and i know that he’s not the reaper but i can see that he ain’t leaving
till he see that i ain’t breathing and i am bleeding all on the floor
he can see that i am poor, so i know that he don’t want my money
i think he’s coming for my soul, i know they wanna take it from me
funny, the devil wanted to purchase it
and failed up on the first attempt
i guess he sent one of his boys here like i won’t murk his sh-t
he’s beating up on the door a little more like he was bursting in
i moves away from the curtain, soon as he come in i am earthing him
but when the door opened
some how i ended up frozen
then i woke up on the floor with my eyes barely open saying..
chorus (sampha)
calculate indecision, can’t cradle fear no more
bear the shame of the incision, all lain cold across the floor
your heart pounds with precision, a king dies inside his courts
your heart pounds with precision, a king dies inside these doors
verse 2 (rise rashid)
now here i am laid out
faded away, in and out
spinning out of control
i’m feeling like my soul is giving out
and then he stood over top of me
and told me he been watching
ever since i started spitting what i had written and they was jocking me
and when them record stores started stocking me
he was there clocking me
when i was collecting cash like in monopoly
he never missed a show, and he know that i rock it properly
but he barley saw my akhies there, where was the comrodery
saw me when i shot for the moon through the astronomy
and followed me when i started falling from the odyssey
said he seen when them hard times started defining me
i fell but hakunamatta became that lion king
everything he said i couldn’t disagree
but physically i couldn’t move i’m fighting just to breathe
i made enough to utter “why you doing this to me”
he said i am your blessing let me put you out your misery… rise
chorus (sampha)
calculate indecision, can’t cradle fear no more
bear the shame of the incision, all lain cold across the floor
your heart pounds with precision, a king dies inside his courts
your heart pounds with precision, a king dies inside these doors
outro (sampha)
let it all work out (repeat)
outro (rise rashid)
money was made in god we trust
but i don’t trust friends nor enemies
maybe that’s the remedy
when any minute either one could bring an end to me
pretending they grinning but jealous is what they tend to be
i want to say that a hater could never get to me
but they done k!lled malcolm, pac, biggie, and kennedy
so who are you, people come in disguise
wanting to see you fall when they know you on the rise… rise
outro (scenes from malcolm x’s death)
