So I Reach: by JC “The Truth”
VERSE 1:
Face up in my bed
Hands crossed on my chest
Looking up at the ceiling
Covers are up to my neck
I can think of all the memories
Some good and some bad
Eyes caught in an episode
Every blink takes me back
I was just a young lad
With a few little brothers
Nick blonde like my father
Joe dark like my mother.
Just an Irish little Mick
Never rich but artistic
Educated street smart
Intellectually gifted.
So I sit and predict
Where I’ll be on the list
At the top with professionals
Cause I’m working for this.
I’m not worried bout whips
I’m not worried bout chicks
I’m just worried that my family
Will suffer for this.
So I fight and I struggle
And I push through the jungle
I can hear the king’s breath
Hit the top of the puddle, and then I…
CHORUS:
Raise my pen to the clouds
God give me all the heart
To make enemy’s bow
Cause it’s now
I lean my ear to the east
There’s a whisper
But the noise
Takes away from the speech, so I reach…
And raise my pen to the clouds
God give me all the heart
To make enemy’s bow
Cause it’s now
I lean my ear to the east
There’s a whisper
But the noise
Takes away from the speech, so I reach…
And raise my pen to the clouds
God give me all the heart
To make enemy’s bow
Cause it’s now
I lean my ear to the east
There’s a whisper
But the noise
Takes away from the speech, so I reach…
VERSE 2:
I reach my pen
Straight to the heavens
Cause I’ve seen an angel sitting
Lips puckered for kissing
Tasty succulent mission
It’s a vision for living
There’s a valley in the distance
Life’s gauntlet of wishes
No permission
And nobody seeing in different
Everybody’s truly gifted
And they learn how to listen
No imprisoned delinquents
Every child is distinguished
Educated and dedicated
Courageously thinking.
Bright light here I come
Hitchhike with a thumb
White robes and gold gates
Embracing the love.
No more knives, and no guns
No one hustling drugs
Not a single growling stomach
Stealing meals for some lunch
No more gossip or grudges
No more dying for nothing
No one killing or raping
No one snitching or hating
Everybody seems patient
There’s a feeling of ease
In a New York minute
You got some time for a Z
All I want is some peace
All I want is a piece
Just to step onto a cloud
And feel the sky at my feet.
No more heat, no more cold
No more being alone
No more striving for my dreams
I’ll finally be what I’ll be, and then I’ll…
CHORUS:
VERSE 3:
I wonder is my time
Even worth it
There’s a purpose
That I lean on cause you people deserve it.
Man, you’ve earned it
It’s why fans call me the truth
Cause I speak straight from my heart
And then deliver the proof.
Cause my vision is the juice
From a bamboo root
Let it drain into your throat
Purifying your views.
I’m amused at these cats
Who can lay wack tracks
I’m not talking bout the flow
Or the high hat taps.
I’m not talking bout the bass
Or the way that they rap
I’m not talking bout the snares
Trumpets, keys, or the claps.
But the way that they mask
Every path that they’ve passed
Got the streets grid-locked
With a passion for trash.
Then they sit on their ass
Countin’ presidents’ mugs
While I lay inside my bed
And I shake my head in disgust.
Cause the vision is crushed
Cause the vision is dead
Every single single dropped
Threatens true hip-hop
And they still get copped
What the hell is the point?
I’ll be underground forever
In a top secret sector.
Even better,
I’ll be leaving poetic treasure
Measured lever pressure
Hotter than a Iraqi desert, So I’ll just…
CHORUS:
END
Great Song.
