Church Piano

Lyrics

[Verse 1] They often hate and spite us I pledge to unite us These devils still despise us Bless the freedom fighters And the local righteous, in the league of writers Who spit the words of fire, my connection's heavy Young brother Ev-y, get them files to Eddie Something change inside me 'cause I'm not drinking nightly They often hate and spite me, I pledge to live, I'm godly Even when they indict me, release and free the godly I work a different angle, not a Star Spangled But of makings of you, good brother Curtis Mayfield Defari, you anointed? Nah, just BitCoined it Made my way, cash tokens, the whole family hold it Baptized when I was seven, hear the church piano Now you see why the brethren is an eternal candle A fire, lit the tree, California weed Had the whole Le Montmartre say "Merci merci" Live the life exquisite, blessing is Herut-hless I know what I've been given, smart enough to go on and use it [Bridge] I know what I've been given, smart enough to go on and use it I know what I've been given, smart enough to go on and use it I know what I've been given, smart enough to go on and use it I know what I've been given, smart enough to go on and use it I know what I've been given, smart enough to go on and use it I know what I've been given, smart enough to go on and use it I know what I've been given, smart enough to go on and use it If you see me walking down the street And I start to cry...don't even speak Walk on by Walk on by 'Cause I'm high on this blackness [Verse 2] We number one consumers, smarten up, let's use this We don't own none of the city, ballin's useless They can't domesticate me, man, the Johnnys hate me Why the suspicion? Why it's still slavery? Excuse my observation, and my occupation My skin color give police reservations Unless I'm playing on a field or a TV station They'd rather have me in the fields or calling in my casin' But yet I'm optimistic, always realistic Have they forgot my granddad and uncles enlisted? Then served a country that always like to say 'Fuck me' It's okay, young fella, your people unlucky I live the life exquisite, blessing is Herut-hless I know what I've been given, smart enough to go on and use it [Bridge] Smart enough to go on and use it I know what I've been given, smart enough to go on and use it I know what I've been given, smart enough to go on and use it I know what I've been given, smart enough to go on and use it [Outro dialogue] Is it true that if you don't use it, you lose it? (Is that a serious question?) No, it wasn't
