Chief Kamachi - Steel Umbrella lyrics

Welcome to the world young fella
You better bring your Steel Umbrella
Cuz the raindrops feel like fire
Fulfill your desire
Look in the mirror, you're the real Messiah
C'mon, look in the sky
And the sun ain't yella'
You better bring your Steel Umbrella
Cuz the raindrops feel like fire
Fulfill your desire
Look in the mirror, you're the real Messiah
C'mon

Who said life ain't supposed to be foul?
Starving, never stroll the grocery isle
Wipe the sweat from your brow
Grow stronger from denials and trials
Let your mind go a thousand miles
One loaf of bread can really
Feed a thousand mouths
Gotta learn the secrets in
Those old ancient files
Till then meet adversity with
Grace and smiles
Look in the mirror only put faith in thou
Can rule the world and just
Might take a while
Make a Covenant with God and
Don't break a vow
Naked souls, temptation then raped the child
Change the channel
Lucifer done broke the dial
Bought a brand new TV to watch the globe
No grass in the grove
Crack still cooked on the stove
Went to the library
Guess what book that he chose?
Wanna help him and every fucking
Crook that he knows

Ayo, thugging awhile
Till I had a talk with Brother Bilal
You only achieve what your energy will allow
And you all high
Walking with your head in the clouds
Half of your homies laying dead
Covered in shrouds sit on your front porch
Dopefiends huddled in crowds
Old lady eat cat food
It fuck with her bowels
It's so sad, picking in the trash for smiles
Feel helpless, walk on broken glass and vials
See the world change, we close to 2012
Can't stop the clock, in time it do tell
Would we ever see the face of the lamb?
At the golden gates
White robe embracing his hand
Make your own miracles happen
Do what you can don't be depressed
You will find the power in man
Next thing you know
A lot of rich shower the land
Don't wait for things to change
Before making a plan eh?

Yeah, they say the end is near
Cuz the seasons is off
Black President they still don't
Believe in the laws
No jobs, but they steadily inflating the cost
Water or food, two choices making a toss
But the Government is promising
Spaghetti and sauce but it's a black cat at
Every path that you cross
If you're not tested
How will you develop force?
You in misery, really need to get a divorce
Just look inside your soul and
Find a spiritual course
We want the fast life, Autobarn
Steering a Porsche
It's so ill, middle class living off oatmeal
Cuz strung-out businessmen paying
Their coke bill
I see them in the hood on payday
It's crazy
But nowadays nothing really amaze me
Little girl is pregnant with Damien's baby
The shit you can't see cuz
Your third-eye is lazy
