As Small as a Giant

[Intro]

See I was made in my fathers image and they belittle my deeds

Their lust for convictions pledge allegiance to the almighty power and greed

See seeds born withered parents still children adolescent to their ways

Some preachers false prophets educated pigeon droppers using our sins to get paid

Slaves - give them freedom but give them ****

Take away their leader cause that give them hope

Sell them dreams of changing things like they were never kings and queens befo'

As small as a giant

[Hook]

As small as a giant, I'm still ridin'

Hand on my sword good Lord I need time

Watch for the sun-eaters blocking our shine

Enlighten my kind, reason for rhyme

I'mma find Zion, free my soul

Repent for all the things I done until my eyes closed

When the boat man come I'm paying my toll

Outside the gates of Heaven, pray to God I'm chose

As small as a giant

[Verse 1]

The beginning was kinda dark, not too soft fairly hard

Drenched with love from my mother, connected to her struggle

Till she cut me loose, now what shall I do?

It was oh so easy look at how they treat me ever since she pushed me through

Now put me back in and stop these contractions

Water breaking, aw damn I know it's bout to happen

Failed to fix, no picket fence, a dream deferred

Beer and liquor chillin' with my ****** swishas and herb

Eviction notices, hopelessness thrown on my shoulders

God won't give you more than you can handle, carry these boulders

Give it all I got until I get older

Couple medals on my sleeves cause life made me a soldier

Reminisce on how it was way back when

But some things were better off way back then

As small as a giant, a promise so divided

Probably ain't surprised in so long since we sung such over Lord's camp fires

Cosby's was cool but television is a lie

Some reason I relate to survivor

Fresh Prince but no Uncle Phil

The Carltons that I knew never stayed where we lived

Couldn't play with those kids

When they were reading books we were playing cops and crooks

When they was writing essays, I was writing hooks

Mama I'll be that ***** on TV, cause people like Bow Wow and Soulja Boy make it look easy

No Pun intended, hoping they get offended

I'm throwing up if these ****** spittin'

Didn't write it but recite it like puppets on strings

Belittled as a peasant but my bloodline is of kings

Knight in shinning armor for this rap ****, I slash quick

Far as a man spit leaving gashes on these industry bastards

They can't see what is real, don't know how I feel

They weren't raised where I live

In Mississippi

[Hook]

As small as a giant, I'm still ridin'

Hand on my sword good Lord I need time

Watch for the sun-eaters blocking our shine

Enlighten my kind, reason for rhyme

I'mma find Zion, free my soul

Repent for all the things I done until my eyes closed

When the boat man come I'm paying my toll

Outside the gates of Heaven, pray to God I'm chose

As small as a giant

[Verse 2]

Rise and shine, no time for sleep, thinking bout eating

Leaving this place long gone

I get no service on this earth I need to phone home

Did too much dirt to talk to God, nowadays I get the dial tone

Try again tomorrow, my heart filled with sorrow

My family broke too so why bother try trying to borrow

No car, no house, drug dealing, feeling like it might be my only option to get millions

What else could I do?

Put yourself in my shoes

If you had no whip you'd take some shortcuts too

Their ain't no time to be wasted, the world is going under

Nowadays can't tell fall from spring and winter from summer

I wonder if this was meant to be, maybe all the ******** was meant for me, takes a lot of energy

Break these chains and erase these thangs society put up on our brain

How could I explain it, we ain't free yet

Obama cool but he ain't sending me no free checks

They killing all my ****** Lord forbid I'll be next

No now, got too many sorrows to say and

Kisses to give, they don't feel how I feel

They weren't raised where I live, Mississippi

[Hook]

As small as a giant, I'm still ridin'

Hand on my sword good Lord I need time

Watch for the sun-eaters blocking our shine

Enlighten my kind, reason for rhyme

I'mma find Zion, free my soul

Repent for all the things I done until my eyes closed

When the boat man come I'm paying my toll

Outside the gates of Heaven, pray to God I'm chose

As small as a giant
