Kicks Kapri - PRAYERS TO MY PEOPLE Lyrics

A life full of pain and sadness, or is it madness
We all got gems, it's just hard for them to grab it
Crystals, different color agates
We got love from our Moms and Dads
We found beauty in the Blackness
Stackhouse Media
This a letter to the future me, nothing that they could do with me
I lived a long life and it was written for me beautifully
Currency of life, I'm making a deposit
Don't tell them your dreams, they wanna sabotage it
I'm just being honest, skeletons in the closet
Mind full of chaos, a room full of objects
It's gon' take a lot of days for you to find it
The pressure makes diamonds like a change in the climate
What we stacking?
I strive for perfection, in the mind of a God
A loss is a lesson
I'm alive in every single dimension
The apple of my eye, I'm aligned with my blessings
I strive for perfection, in the mind of a God
A loss is a lesson
I'm alive in every single dimension
The apple of my eye, I'm aligned with my blessings
I'm so black, go back to Africa black
Black like they don't even know the magic of black
Black, from America to Ghana and back
I'm so black that I even made a song about black
Black, like why you gotta speak the truth on that
Black, you gotta try to see the nuance black
Black, I'm Dr. Umar Black
I'm so black, like why you even gotta do all that
Black
Before I had leverage, I had a vision and wanted the recognition
Now they treasure my presence, it's better than my predictions
Hypocrites and contradictions, it's prevalent in the system
The path less traveled, I positioned myself against them
If I had a dollar for every heart that I touched, I'd have a hundred million dollars
Still never could be enough
The same people who say it's one in a million
Be the gatekeepers, ain't even who you would think it is
That's the main reason I'm praying for all the children to make it and break even
There's a great leader in every man
Get my sea moss from Felicity and her mama
You get what you want, that's the definition of Karma
Beneficence is the testament of a doctor
Music is medicine, definitely the mantra
I strive for perfection, in the mind of a God
A loss is a lesson
I'm alive in every single dimension
The apple of my eye, I'm aligned with my blessings
I strive for perfection, in the mind of a God
A loss is a lesson
I'm alive in every single dimension
The apple of my eye, I'm aligned with my blessings
I strive for perfection, in the mind of a God
A loss is a lesson
I'm alive in every single dimension
The apple of my eye, I'm aligned with my blessings
I strive for perfection, in the mind of a God
A loss is a lesson
I'm alive in every single dimension
The apple of my eye, I'm aligned with my blessings
My name is Tetteh Anansi
I am the son of Ghanaian immigrants
Specifically the son of Ghana
We've dealt with the imperialism of the British Empire
Which the Palestinian people suffer under in the occupation of the Israeli government
So I stand here in solidarity with them
And every other indigenous person who suffers
Under the foot of the British imperialism
All forms of settler colonialism
Together we're united
We can never be divided
Everybody always remember that
And make sure that you always stand up for any injustice
No matter where they are
The person looks like you or not
