Hapi

I met a man playin'in the woods

His piano as off-key

He sang to me softly

I bet he wouldn't change it if he could

Gunshots ringin'in my hood

It sounds so off-beat

I'm prayin'they don't off me

I promise i'd change it if i could

Oh,why?(Oh,why?Oh,why?Oh,why?)

Oh,why?(Oh,why?Oh,why?Oh,why?)

I retreat to the trees,surrounded by green,but i need

Need more for my kin and more for my team(Oh **it)

Dance to a different type beat,off kilted rhythm

Took the traces of my feet

But i need more,before i dip out of the scene

For my n**as,for my queens,for the babies,for my rounds

For my sisters missin'crowns,homies victims to apathy,like

Honey drippin'off the table in front of me,ah

They say"Go",but my heart still fights for the seed

They bus shows,but my soul shouldn't back the deed

Oh,why?Oh,why?Why,why,why?

So,you get rich,I'ma try to get free,but

Not exclusive,mutually,but

Oh,I,oh,I gotta find the balance between

Some say,"life is just a hell

And it's here we wait until we dwell truly,truly,truly free"

Some say,"Projects and ghettos and seeds that will never grow

All berries to see"

I'll stay with you through the night and in the darkest times

We'll fight through it all until we reach that dawn

I dream of a world where love is the rule

Where hearts walk two by two

And I with you

I dream of a place where a child's wish can always come true

And the old and withered become renewed

I met a man playin'in the woods

His piano as off-key

He sang to me softly

I bet he wouldn't change it if he could

Gunshots ringin'in my hood

I't sounds so off-beat

I'm prayin'they don't off me

I promise i'd change it if i could

Oh,why?(Oh,why?Oh,why?Oh,why?)

Oh,why?(Oh,why?Oh,why?Oh,why?)

I can see the ripple,I can see the changes,oh,my

I can feel the reaper,I can hear the angels,oh,I

Cross my heart for safety,hope I stay alive,oh,lord

They always go too crazy,it's really peace of mind,good God

All my life,I had to fight,all my life,passin'by

All my life,I had to write,all my life,I had to die

All I had to sacrifice,blood,sweat,and tears pays the price

Start to think the better day's tomorrow,keep my spirits high up

When it rains,it pours,my ceiling go up

Then it turn in my floor,then the gang show love

Then count my blessings,my praise goes up

Big dawg,my n**ga since day one

When the sun go down,when the lights go up

Still ten toes down,I'ma keep mine tucked

I'ma bang my buck,I'ma play my hand

Then I ain't gon'change'til I free my lands

I'ma use my hands,I'ma play my songs

I'ma play mine right'til I prove my dance

And the key to my life,I'ma sing my wrongs

I'ma be that light,I'ma clap my hands

I'ma smoke my weed,see my hands

And I lead by faith,and I play my jam

And you might think I'm out of tune

But it ain't got **it to do you with you,oh my,God

Your freedom is beyond anyone outside of yourself's controllin'

It can't be bought and sold,given away,or even stolen

It's a divine entitlement,vital to the nourishment of the soul

Encoragin'spritual growth to channel the ethereal flow of creation's rive across the cosmos

This blessed osmosis,triggerin'consciousness to focus

And the paradigm ascension,transcendin'beyond all space and time dimensions

Not to mention my pinch off from an addiction

Been addicted minds,been consistent in my grind

Of usin'every pen and pencil I can find

To elevate the state of decline

That's draggin'my people down so deep that the climb could never be done in a single lifetime

So I write life's lines,correction,my lines write life

Correction,my life lines right up

When serving'my purpose to write and recite what touches

And sights ignite that unites us

So we can finally stop runnin'from freedom

Yeah
