Lyrics
01. Death Row (elevation2 intro)
let the skies cave in on em
the stars fallin in on em' who want it'
still' pardon' my effots'..it's a song n'.it not a slow one.
still wanna leave em breattthless'
But I still can't get em to feel the records'
it's a death sentence..an unusal word, what the pen hold,
cause the days I'm spendin on the earth is equivilant to death row'
Ima be honest with you on this track' I ain't never
been near a person, that ever seen me as I am'
see me now holdin' this pen, last woman I showed her
my inner pain she never held me again'
one time look in my eyes, see what a real man been through but'
but no one treat's me like a real man..so what the fuck, am
I supossed to see you all as ? I started as a smart lad'
comin' up in a bomb' pad, a middle class family, all that'
but im ' gettin sidetracked...but wait ya whos that? is it
me at the corner store fillin out some foodstamps....
let the looseleaf, smash' few dreams' cause when i display
thse emotions, on paper the view screams
scene of christs in a manger' the way' I'm ignitin the paper' (pause)
been tryin to multi, to go multi-plat, but I couldn't make
it in the industry,if I was ridin' on a high-hat'
spit for me' shit set me free'the destiny' didnt strike me'
once, light lightening's intensity' I aint sensitive'
I'm just sending a message' for ya'll to let me live'
the cenorship, society' tellin' me how to live' how to behave'
preach to me for sho, if I'm in the ground and yall at my grave'
so they say it's will that's bring hell' to pay. it's hell today
seventy eight- to I wasn't blessed with looks no matter the date.
but here ' I ascend, with rhythm' n' sin' . but the source of all anger
let's hit em' again' a bitterless end' cause'. I know I did to amend'
lookin' at myself in the mirror' and the glass shiver' and bend'
but here's something different I did, I was honest on a record'
while you sit there and hid' I mourn ascension, the artist, no
one ever let in' the hardest thing I ever did' was never bein in'
left to sit aside' from the rest of the crowd'
I told you before, just lower the score' and I ain't care on this record
no more if you found out' I don't brag, there's nothing to brag about
