DROWNING - MICHAEL BURNZ F/ STEPHANIE WRIGHT
As the world turns / I let the smoke burn on
walking amongst angels who lost they way home,
broken wings / rusty halos
I can’t talk I paddle the same boat , let's go
situation's real
broke out the containment field
can't admit i'm wrong for my pride and my zeal
but inside i just feel
so eager to be healed
from the pain i conceal
and the shame it reveals
heartbeat rate say no time to waste
i n i scratch and scrap
fi any likkle day break
let the strings play,
let the bass pound
everybody's showed up to watch how it plays out
nuff wickedness this way come about
lead me not to temptation Lord but lead me out.
an angel singing in a high pitched key
it sounds lovely I hope she wrote it for me … cuz im drowning
Stephanie: here me now today
down on my knees trying to find a way
I know it’s dark / it kinda make ya wanna lose heart
Pharaoh behind me in a cart and I’m trying to make the waters part
Trapped in the same cycle again
and I’m drowning & I’m drowning
caught between love and hatred
feeling like a mad man say I’m Don Drapping it
the waves crash i gasp ,lack of oxygen
fading fast ,swerved and crashed back into the mix again
memory loss blessings in disguise
next time come a likkle more wise
Now take a deep breath in
Pull the curation back let the opera begin… cuz we drowning
Stephanie: hear me now today
down on my knees trying to find a way
Is anyone coming to save me, or is it me, myself and I
trying so hard to break away ,from all this pain inside
Is anyone coming to save me, or is it me, myself and I
one step closer each day, trying to find my why ooooo ooooo
standing at the cross streets/ aint been the same since i lost sleep
i feel the breath of the death beast
looking for an entity to take this emptiness from me ( 2x)
Bless Up featuring Morea Nahani
Dreamers keep dreaming
Thinkers keep thinkin
Lovers keep lovin while the schemers keep scheming
Believers keep believing, sleepers stop sleeping
We headed 2 higher ground jamming the sounds of Steven
Life ain’t fair nah brutha not even
Never u complain or blame just keep breathing
Trust God for leadin / keep yo hustle beastin
When the time’s right we gone all know the reason
Mike Mike give ya that fruit in due season’
Never to raw , never to sweetened
Just the right mixing people listen to the teaching
Real recognize real when the real speaking ayo
It’s blood seeping thru the concrete cracks and It’s 1, less heart beatin
we pray that God receive him
and his dreams live on Martin was still preaching
give thanks for life young king keep achieving
Chorus:
I have a vision, of a world full of love
Restored and I will follow the one who will see it be done
the Lilly in the valley, the diamond in the rough
don’t hate the pressure it’s for God’s purpose
mama earth’s crying , she trying , to adjust
but the oil in the drinking water make her nauseous
we fussing and a fighting
fighting and a fuss ain’t nobody dying but us
the kings aint treating the queens how they use to
they getting more respect shaking a$$ on youtube
hate to tell it like it is but someone got to
cuz when the money starts it’s hard to tell shorty not to
they say u can triple that if u would get nude
now she on the red carpet making her debut.
The gurl is beautiful, sweet but she got no clue
Ask me how I know , we went out a time or 2
Ayo dig / she got dreams big as skyscrapers is
shorty want the picked fence , big house couple kids
A queen in disguise it take a king to notice
Dreams come true young queen stay focused
Chorus:
I have a vision, of a world full of love
Restored and I will follow the one who will see it be done
We all tryna get it that much is really true
Watch ya back cuz these snakes’ll turn on you
So you say so you say what can we do
Except ask God for mercy and His insight to
It’s all clear when you look in the rearview
After the dirt’s did it’s pivotal now learn from the issue
I’m with 4giveness / but dudes want revenge
Cross the bredren them dudes is all in
Do we blame the environment they in ?
Do we blame the color of skin or government’s pen ?
It’s all part of the talespin since cotton gin, we been
Behind the 8 ball quit a challenge/
It’s a sad story cue the violin
Words mean nothing when the trust is paper thin/
Street dreamer keep dreaming try to take it on the chin
Can’t nobody stop you but you in the end
Chorus:
I have a vision and I will give my all
Despite the setbacks, for there is a future I’ve seen
And im gonna follow His lead, toward that dream
Cuz I have a vision and I have a dream umm
I have a vision I have a dream
I AM SOMEBODY
V1 - What it do my brother
God ain't cool with how we treat one another
I am somebody I'm a son I'm a brother
I'm a father I'm a nephew I'm a soldier I'm a lover
I'm a man G*tDam*t respect my life
and I know who I am can't lie to me twice
educate over hate let love leave the debate
the future is its taking the clock is ticking away
the light is shining a blaze the truth is taking the stage
some people been wearing masks before the first covid case
we in the streets let it be known
Wailing like Bob Marley them revolution
fist in the sky a million strong / another 10 waiting for word to get it on
black and white locking arms yellow, tan , brown palms
it just feels like the storm
Chorus:
We been asking for attention
But aint nobody listening
Our daughters coming up missing, can anybody tell me why
I show love like im suppose to be
But no love is shown back to me
I thought we were one family hey, can anybody tell me why
V2 - all lives matter that makes sense
but black lives don't get the same treatment
I am not lesser I'm 100%
I'm the descendant of kings and Prophets
Royal blood of the royalist continent
my lineage is warriors doctors and scientists but
that's easy to forget when they treat you like a slave
don't dismay I'm going to bring it back like a DJ
what you're talking about, y'all sound cray
Let the love in it'll take the pain away
we shine the Light put it on display / for the people them lost in the disarray
unity is all we need every generation every color every creed
if one of us oppressed then none of us is free
you can hear us down the street just as loud as we can be
Chorus
Bridge: God Bless humanity / i just hope they include me / one blood we all bleed/ one love one community
V3- Organize my brother ,power is with the people when we tight with another
it's divide and conquer like a mother /they some suckers trying to keep the truth wrapped in undercover
make room for the lovers no filters no buffers
we loud we proud and we down the cause of ruckus yo
from the usher to the governor
respect color
do it for the culture!
