Shadows On The Sun - Brother Ali
We'dlike to capture your minds right now What you say Take you a little bit higher What you say What you say What you say I like the snares loud enough To make your eyes blink from it Only male with the holy grail drink from it I keep an eye on heaven and an ear to the street And spread a thick layer of blood Sweat and tears on the beats My brain rest upon the hiphop lexicon That I acquired in the decade of work That people slept upon I don'trap I recite the prayers of the inner soul Of the slaveships'human cargo Seemingly meaningless rappers flood the market With sh*tthat make me pace in my room Until I rip the carpet I'mfit to start up this next millennium Swingin'the grappling hook At cackling crooks to finish em The city dweller singin'telegrams from neverland The better man kind now kindly join the caravan We'relike a rock band that pack contraband And won'thesitate to stomp A man into the rocks and sand Brother Ali and if you haven'theard about me I'mflyin'just beneath your Radar so y'allcan doubt me Stay on the sonar with crowbars to open minds There'sa ladder you'resupposed to climb Approach a rhymesayer with a buggsy siegel sized ego You gon'get yourself snatched out The sky you know the steelo By now where what why and how We start the revolution real time right now Yes leave it to me to create hope where there was none The human being shall cast shadows on the sun Leave it to me to create hope where there was none My inner soul shall cast shadows on the sun Leave it to me to create hope where there was none The human being shall cast shadows on the sun Leave it to me to create hope where there was none My inner soul shall my inner light shall I rhyme for cats up in the harbored lights Prayin'they don'tstarve tonight And stay positive in the face of a harder life My chorus light the torch For those on whom the sun set Verses meant to speak for the voiceless So let us never be dismayed or afraid The ground we'rewalking on is stained With the blood of those before us who came Soldiers in this freedom Movement are too numerous to name Cause the human soul yearns To be free it'sall the same I rhyme for runaways prayin'That they see another day You gotta make it through The winter to feel some summer days It'sfor my natives It'shistory in the way their hair is braided Elephants never forget that'show they say it Tell my man hasim in prison Keep grinnin'because he'sinnocent And tell him that the tests we get are heavensent Listen I rap for the ones that Johnny cash wore the black for Black and white women That were turned to crack whores And I empty everything in the bank to give for it I empty all the days of my life to live for it And I empty all the blood in my veins to fight for it So I empty all the ink in this pen to write for it Yes leave it to me to create Hope where there was none The human being shall cast shadows on the sun Leave it to me to create hope where there was none My inner soul shall cast shadows on the sun Leave it to me to create hope where there was none The human being shall cast shadows on the sun Leave it to me to create hope where there was none My inner my inner my inner my inner Yes I glance in the sky and see The same cloud configuration That Nat Turner saw the day they hanged him Resisted in the face of adversity With a fist and it was raised One finger extended meaning allah be praised Spent days in heaven'sembassy On Koran pages allah explains this legacy Angels doubted adam Jacob'sbrothers clapped him And ancient pharaohs were too brutal to fathom If all the earth'soceans were ink and the trees were pens You could never write the knowledge of god it never ends And I know it feels like the whip wounds will never mend But it'sthe way of god makin'the oppressed prevalent men We standin'with humanity at destiny'sdoor Chanting the war cry it goes never no more So if y'alltryna talk about the horrors you see Feel free to tell your stories through me Yes leave it to me to create hope where there was none The human being shall cast shadows on the sun Leave it to me to create hope where there was none My inner soul shall cast shadows on the sun Leave it to me to create hope where there was none The human being shall cast shadows on the sun Leave it to me to create hope where there was none My inner soul shall my inner life shall There'sonly one God and he'snot just above There'sonly one man and there'sonly one love Till everybody gets what I instill in my seed For that y'allwe willing to bleed There'sonly one God and he'snot just above There'sonly one woman and there'sonly one love We doin'this till all of Adam'schildren are freed And for that y'allwe willin'to bleed Guitar score
