Blackalicious — Imani

[Chorus] [undecipherable] Imani [x7] [Verse 1] When your mind feels stressed and the soul feels drained And you get depressed cause the world’s insane And you feel duress in the wilderness You will kill to just find a different plane When the jobs are few and the funds are low When the justice lacks and you want some more Cause the poor stay poor when the rich get more And you starving inside and can't front no more When the government lies and they rig them votes And you wonder what happened to friendly folks Because no one smiles when the youth goes wild And the old lose hope when your life’s on trial When you tried your best and you live one pay cheque To next pay cheque and the darkness fills Cause your needs aren't met And you’re right at the breaking point on the edge [Chorus] [Verse 2] When the doors all closed and the bridge been burnt And your mind feels gone cause of what you on But you stay too long cause it feels so good And it feels so right and the world so wrong And it calls you back and you can't seem to capture Your old self back and the fear’s overwhelming It seems so massive try and you try But you still go back When you just exhausted and seems so done And you feel like retreating but can not run When there’s doubt all around you it's like no one Has an ounce of belief and you overcome And they all say no but you feel this force That will not stop flowing a tight rope wire With wind that’s blowing for all you can see Its the final moment He will never give you more than you can ever take Take the dollar in your mind and put it into a faith Know that there is something on the other side that waits So identify it you will find another place He will never give you more than you can ever take Take the dollar in your mind and put it into a faith Know that there is something on the other side that waits So identify it you will find another place And have faith have faith have faith have faith Have faith have faith have faith have faith have faith have faith have faith [Chorus]
