Heavy

from Phatima by Art of Verse

/

lyrics

Verse1:
Shoutouts to the Universe, the Moon and Stars above!
This was written in a hemlock, carved with love!
Between the margins I supply for the marginalized
My artistry cries for all the martyrs that died-- so check it!
Beneath the darkest of skies, I rip apart and pry
The clouded boundaries that stop the remarkable rise
Of our people! My people! My audio easel
Is an animated painting of the triumph over evil!
I've been rhyming deep flows faithfully,
Remolding myself into the person that I aim to be--
Have my sister tell my family to pray for me,
I stay steady on my path as I blaze my trees!
My dreams are clearly seen in the smoke I blow out
I see the "Eve" of the victory so I carry "No Doubt"
So "Don't Speak"
If your hope's weak and lackluster,
Cause we stay adapting past these wack muhfuckers!


chorus:
Life is Heavy,
But the Light of Hope forever remains bright and steady!


Verse2:
Like a mountain of dopeness, I let my art rock!
Writing from my chest box until my heart stops!
My veins flow the blood that remind you of those islands,
No matter where we're at, melanin stay shining!
Luminous
I'm moving with
The speed
Only a few can glimpse!
Planting seeds of Peace! Blooming into Human Bliss!
But their self-hatred keeps their view eclipsed,
Racist in 2018? Fucking Ludacris!
So we stay "Disturbing Tha Peace"
Til we get justice for the innocents murdered by police!
I mean, why is that really so much to ask
Repeating the same cycle like we stuck in the past!
Deconstruct class analysis
Fuck your palaces!
Capitalism only creates more callousness!
Challenges are met with a fist pump when I spit soul,
Sorry not Sorry, donald trump you're the Shithole!
