Nasty C & DJ Whoo Kid Lyrics
"Poetry"
(feat. T.I.)
When in the country, T.I.'s lookin' forward to
Listenin' to what South Africans musicians have to offer
You worked with some of the biggest names in the business
What do you look for in that artist?
Individuality
I look for them to be themselves
To pay the price of life, tryna get what I think is owed to me
For that price there are no receipts
But I do so, so boderly
The story of how I came up and what I grow to be, is poetry
Yeah
I pray we don't go stackin' up on anymore condolences
Pray for all the souls at seas
Shadin' on the stolen trees
Everybody showin' cheese
And we all rockin' gold, it's hard to tell who got the golden key
I hope that they know it's me
Ain't no holdin' me back, ain't no holdin' me down
Ain't nothin' else to do but to knee since they stomped my feet now
To all my dawgs that came from nothin, up here livin' sweet now
Let that be wild, we never have to close our eyes to see God
Kiss your mom and thank God
Say my momma "You okay now"
RIP to Ivy, I'ma rep like it's my day job
Somehow you taught me not to keep my face down
Cryin' about what I ain't got and look at what I done made now
Yeah
To pay the price of life, tryna get what I think is owed to me
For that price there are no receipts
But I do so, so boderly
The tale of how I came up and what I grow to be, is poetry
Ooh, ooh-ooh
I pray we don't go stackin' up on anymore condolences
Pray for all the souls in seas
Shadin' on the stolen trees
Everybody showin' cheese
And we all rockin' gold, it's hard to tell who got the golden key
I hope that they know it's me

"Poesía"
(feat. T.I.)
Cuando en el país, T.I. está esperando
Escuchar lo que los músicos sudafricanos tienen para ofrecer
Trabajaste con algunos de los nombres más grandes del negocio
¿Qué buscas en ese artista?
Individualidad
Busco que sean ellos mismos
Pagar el precio de la vida, tratando de obtener lo que creo que se me debe
Por ese precio no hay recibos
Pero lo hago, tan audazmente
La historia de cómo llegué y en lo que me convierto, es poesía
Sí
Rezo para que no sigamos acumulando más condolencias
Reza por todas las almas en el mar
Sombreando los árboles robados
Todos mostrando dinero
Y todos luciendo oro, es difícil saber quién tiene la llave dorada
Espero que sepan que soy yo
No hay quien me detenga, no hay quien me retenga
No hay nada más que hacer que arrodillarse ya que ahora me pisotearon los pies
A todos mis amigos que vinieron de la nada, ahora viviendo dulcemente aquí
Que eso sea salvaje, nunca tenemos que cerrar los ojos para ver a Dios
Besa a tu mamá y dale gracias a Dios
Dile a mi mamá "Estás bien ahora"
QEPD Ivy, voy a representar como si fuera mi trabajo diario
De alguna manera me enseñaste a no mantener la cara agachada
Llorando por lo que no tengo y mira lo que he logrado ahora
Sí
Pagar el precio de la vida, tratando de obtener lo que creo que se me debe
Por ese precio no hay recibos
Pero lo hago, tan audazmente
La historia de cómo llegué y en lo que me convierto, es poesía
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Rezo para que no sigamos acumulando más condolencias
Reza por todas las almas en el mar
Sombreando los árboles robados
Todos mostrando dinero
Y todos luciendo oro, es difícil saber quién tiene la llave dorada
Espero que sepan que soy yo
