Black Sheep - Novakane lyrics

[Black Sheep - Novakane lyrics]

They say what is, is what was
But what was could never be
Ain't nothing new under the sun
Y'all ain't doing nothing but some
Shit I already did
Let me tell you where you're going yo

Said I'm not gonna say "you", y'all
I'm gonna say "we"
Sometimes I sit and think about it
Yo, how numb could we be
How could it go so far, how'd it get so funky
That we could walk a mile in
The footsteps of a porch monkey
That we could break a barrier without one key
Then turn around and try to
Imitate a mob flunky
We're not together, y'all
And most of us have forgotten
Those at the top don't want nothing to
Do with those at the bottom


And that's bad when you put a pricetag on sad
Had aspirations of a kingdom but
The plans gone bad and every man's gone mad
I'm feelin so defeated
Wasted so much time chasing
What I never needed
'Til I heard it echo, "Let go"
"You'll be richer when you
Stop chasing crumbs
'cause the cake's the bigger picture"
Got too many pennies in our
Hands to hold the dollars
Got too many problems in the
World to kill the scholars

Said I'm so numb
I really couldn't care in the end
That I'm so dumb
I plied against myself never depended
On no one
Sometimes I need to pray I find way but I'm
So numb, and I'm so dumb and I'm so lost
I never thought to put it on a scale
What my soul cost
The crime, I got no money for my bail
Suffered no cause
Sometimes I need to pray I find way but I'm
So numb, and I'm so dumb

Sometimes I'm sitting at the window
And the world that I see
Makes me ask myself the question
"Yo, how numb can we be?"
We're all descendants of the people
That they chose, made slaves
Nowadays, they pay my people money
Not to make waves now that's a house nigga
So glad we're not in the field
We're glorified instead trying to
Destroy and rebuild
How many hopes have we killed
By doing nothing at all
Or planting seeds to succeed by
Either drugs or basketball or worse
That a rapper laying your life on the top
I listen to the radio and yo
That ain't hip hop so numb to make it big is
The way that I chose
So I could rip off all the
Children for my sneakers and clothes
I thought we'd lower the prices
Not give companies the license
To divide and conquer us with
The modern day devices
We take what's priceless with
Hope for personal wealth
Turn a life into a struggle for life it'self
(can you feel me?)

Said I'm so numb
I really couldn't care in the end
That I'm so dumb
I plied against myself never depended
On no one
Sometimes I need to pray I find way but I'm
So numb, and I'm so dumb and I'm so lost
I never thought to put it on a scale
What my soul cost
The crime, I got no money for my bail
Suffered no cause
Sometimes I need to pray I find way but I'm
So numb, and I'm so dumb

Said it's so hard
I wonder if the world can feel my pain
We've been so scarred
We close our eyes and breathe the novacaine
I get so numb
And wonder where this road is taking me
Has the world mistaken me
And has God forsaken me? Said it's deep down
It's out of me, I know we can prevail
This sweet sound
Though most I mind wind up dead or in jail
'Cause we don't do what we could
'Cause we can't do what we should
We been hoodwinked
I guess that's why we repping the hood
Although we don't rep us
It lets us die without a care in the hood
Your only thought is to get
The fuck outta there
And show your children a change
Sometimes you give it your all
To lose your way the day you say that
"I'll be better than y'all"
'Til we're numb of all the power we possess
Unified eyes closed
Like the problems of the world blew inside
'Til we're numb from all the
Ice pushing a newer ride
And the artery we cut, we die, suicide

Said I'm so numb
I really couldn't care in the end
That I'm so dumb
I plied against myself never depended
On no one
Sometimes I need to pray I find way but I'm
So numb, and I'm so dumb and I'm so lost
I never thought to put it on a scale
What my soul cost
The crime, I got no money for my bail
Suffered no cause
Sometimes I need to pray I find way but I'm
So numb, and I'm so dumbSaid I'm so numb
I really couldn't care in the end
That I'm so dumb
I plied against myself never depended
On no one
Sometimes I need to pray I find way but I'm
So numb, and I'm so dumb and I'm so lost
I never thought to put it on a scale
What my soul cost
The crime, I got no money for my bail
Suffered no cause
Sometimes I need to pray I find way but I'm
So numb, and I'm so dumb
