Sa-Roc — Flawless

*note some of these lyrics may be incorrect My mommy told me that I was a shining star A bright light sort of a beacon amidst the dark She stood me in front of mirrors and made me look at myself - not at what they said I was but what I truly are I couldn't see the beauty i just saw a jagged scar A high yellow short nappy headed flower wall I meant to say wall flower pardon the slip of the tongue Bearing your soul has never been a gift of the young So i remain alien never inside the margins Navigating treacherous roads without a compass Hard for ghetto children to survive the world concious They fairy tales is filled with poisonous apples and monsters We shrink so we wouldn't be the next set of targets And thats how a diamond dulls after starting flawless Absolutely flawless PIERCE DARK SHADOW PIERCE THROUGH SOLID ARMOUR VOCAL STREETS SWEEP A BUCK SOUTH THROUGH THE SPEAKER STEP INTO MY ZONE MAD RHYMES WILL STIFLE YA X2 As innocence fades we bitterly age Our days of youth are sentimentally praised To soothe our memories of abuse We came through the barrage Our skins a little harder Our pride was wounded Our hearts totally guarded My generation X became the living martyrs Dodging - bullets and police department sergeants The same time we claiming our sovereignty from the fraudulent Do wicked rich have blindfolds or see us clearly starving Sometimes our souls get lost up in the bargain, can't you see the problem? But every soldier that's still fighting for freedom inspires yet another child to keep believing That heroes exist with black skin and full lips and dreams can be reality if we can just persist The wall thinks the strong can prevail if we learn as we grow to just resist VOCAL STREETS SWEEP A BUCK SOUTH THROUGH THE SPEAKER STEP INTO MY ZONE MAD RHYMES WILL STIFLE YA X2 PIERCE DARK SHADOW PIERCE THROUGH SOLID ARMOUR VOCAL STREETS SWEEP A BUCK SOUTH THROUGH THE SPEAKER STEP INTO MY ZONE MAD RHYMES WILL STIFLE YA X2 The roads clearer now, the way is nearer now I see the beauty looking back inside the mirror now Her light shines without shame and a nap strong Her small frame a powerhouse born a warrior We black diamonds, never stop shining Just so used to suffering we stopped even trying As cycles shift and dark clouds are lifting We ride through the storms, shields up, no slipping We are wiser now, stakes are higher now Knowledge leads to wisdom understanding locks the cipher down Then we free our culture , refine our power base Level the playing field, peep the god inside our face Destroy our weakness build a nation from a higher place Born again as shining stars beaming from the light of space And that's cipher PIERCE DARK SHADOW PIERCE THROUGH SOLID ARMOUR VOCAL STREETS SWEEP A BUCK SOUTH THROUGH THE SPEAKER STEP INTO MY ZONE MAD RHYMES WILL STIFLE YA X2
