feat. Dee-1 Look, young vigilantes, rappers gotta up their aiming You see 'em feeling antsy something like I'm feeling panties I'm getting close to blow, cup running for a four leaf clover No, this is God's will, never been lost here Forge my own path now, you do the math Don't get caught inside our crosses, yeah, I've been exhausted But I never lost it, thinking along, roaming, I wonder what it cost me Thousands to millions but I still feel awesome Do this for a dollar although I needed the progress Bars hold weight, uplifted I see my arm drift Hooks, lines and fingers, ain't fishing for no compliments I'm just tryina save my audience, miracle this armament So forfeit, so on again They say I'm tryina play God again, I'm just a freedom writer With a heart a ten, yeah How you gonna stop, how you gonna stop How you gonna stop a writer? See what I stand for? It's what I live for and what I'd die for Freedom writer With the last needle dropping, every record stopping Who will be the survivor? See what I stand for? It's what I live for and what I'd die for Freedom writer I ran into a young man in his green and kaki school uniform White air, bud hair, phones on, headed home To the Iberville Projects where right across the street I just left to meet with the mayor and Spike Lee Tryina figure out a route to stop black on black killing And value the life they living and escape mental prison Meanwhile, the homie recognized my face He called my name, ran across the street and then we embraced It took a moment to tell me he was a fan and about his future plans To be in the same position that I am I said, "shorty, you know I went to school, right?" Hey say "you graduated in top middle school, too, right? But I just saw your video on MTV 2, right? And honestly, this what gave me the motivation to write" He said, "thank you" then we parted ways He just inspired the inspirer, that's why I'm giving praise Dee-1 How you gonna stop, how you gonna stop How you gonna stop a writer? See what I stand for? It's what I live for and what I'd die for Freedom writer With the last needle dropping, every record stopping Who will be the survivor? See what I stand for? It's what I live for and what I'd die for Freedom writer Deep inside my meditation, seconds from detonation I had a revelation that I can possible be the one to restore the nation Or the generation, I'm getting sick of waiting How much practice patience, screaming F the world The F stand for "Free", I stand for you if you stand for me Not gonna allow for my confidence to be fleeting But when I read the news, yeah, we're only human beings We struggle in our bubbles, we need something to believe in I scoffer in rebuttals but I see your interest peaking Well come inside the huddle, I got something really subtle ,is the vessel, Omar is the shuttle We taking it to newer heights, try to shine a newer light Media is the medium, we try to serve some food for thought Omar, you are not alone, , moved upon a block You are in Palermo Stone, I promise you we got a lot I promise you we got a lot Deal one in Palermo Stone, we gonna take it to the top How you gonna stop, how you gonna stop How you gonna stop a writer? See what I stand for? It's what I live for and what I'd die for Freedom writer With the last needle dropping, every record stopping Who will be the survivor? See what I stand for? It's what I live for and what I'd die for Freedom writer How you gonna stop, how you gonna stop How you gonna stop a writer? See what I stand for? It's what I live for and what I'd die for Freedom writer |
