Master Builders

Lyrics

MF Grimm - "Master Builders" [Emcee(s): MF Grimm] [Producer(s): The Architech] [Verse 1: MF Grimm] Blow up, change world we're living in Tears drop from eyes like nitroglycerin Time love no man, we're all dated Strive to be a success like those who did it Brother passed away in my arms, I was Shot up. Still, I remain calm But died, came back to life, grabbed a pen "I understand" precious as oxygen Soldiers put in the work, must be Sabbath Afraid to say my name like Dead Rabbits Outcasted, bastards turned me savage Revenge across my heart, I gotta have it The spirit is in the room—that's a sign While others in the room are not kind Save them if only I could rewind Closure I can't find, try to black it out my mind The Creator, I ask Him, "Why do you love me?" Enter Heaven, why did You pick me? Right back on Earth, why did you stick me? You took my brother—why did you trick me? You knew I loved him—now I'm without him It felt like he turned his back. I said, "Fuck him" Word up, get this dough, plot some murders Enemies killed, but I don't feel no better Wasn't raised to be this—why am I bitter? Succumb to American Hunger like a quitter Haunt them, leap forward, master quantum The man my mother gave birth to, become him The plan: make them all proud of me 'Cause it's not too late. Percy will be great I respect The Architech, thankful for blessings Hip hop is global, we leave impressions People around the world ask me questions In America, being black, are you tested? Loved ones struggle, every day's a fight I'll gladly trade my life to make it right Death the ultimate sacrifice My energy become beacon of light Teach all the babies, grave sight, yes, I promise Emotional, can't stop crying like Carl Thomas The rain bring me pain every time A bullet entered in my spine, I try to black it out my mind It's wrong, tortured on planet for so long Different man, still the same song Huxtables off the air, blacks are tripping Ashamed of the way we act, Cosby's flipping I can't say he has no facts. How we living? Guilty. Instead of building, we destroying Going for self, we're not even employing Annoying nothing's left for girls and boys, and Not a lot of reason for them jump for joy, and I'd rather heal than to sit and spit poison We have enough brothers and sisters in prison Sitting in the box and they're hot but frozen Nailed to the cross, MF was chosen Forsaken, God sent me no signs I try to black it out my mind Still turning tap water to wine [Outro: MF Grimm] Beyond your dimension, I walk on ether. I don't even have a chorus, money
