Spillage Village, Benji, EARTHGANG, Big Rube, Mereba - Hapi lyrics

Ooh, oh, oh

I met a man playin' in the woods
His piano was off-key he sang to me softly
I bet he wouldn't change it if he could
Gunshots ringin' in my hood
They sound so off-beat
I'm prayin' they don't off me
I promise I'd change it if I could

Oh, why? (Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why?)
Oh, why? (Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why?)
Oh, why? (Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why?)
(Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why?)
Oh, why? (Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why?)
Oh, why? (Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why?)
Oh, why? (Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why?)

I retreat to the trees, surrounded by green
But I need
Need more for my kin and more for my team
(Oh shit) dance to a different type beat
Off kilter rhythm
Took the traces of my feet, but I need more
Before I dip out of the scene
For my niggas, for my queens, for the babies
For my rounds for my sisters missin' crowns
Homies victims to apathy, like
Honey drippin' off the table in front of me
Ah they say, "Go
" but my heart still fights for the seed
They buy shows
But my soul shouldn't back the deed
Oh, why? Oh, why? Why, why, why?
So, you get rich, I'ma try to get free, but
Not exclusive, mutually, but
Oh, I, oh, I gotta find the balance between

Some say, "Life is just a Hell
And it's here we dwell
Until we're truly, truly, truly free"
Some say, "Projects and ghettos and seeds
That will never grow is all there is to see"
I'll stay with you through the night
And in the darkest times
We'll fight through it all until
We reach that dawn
I dream of a world where love is the rule
Where hearts walk two by two and I with you
I dream of a place where a
Child's wish can always come true
And the old and withered become renewed

I met a man playin' in the woods
His piano was off-key he sang to me softly
I bet he wouldn't change it if he could
Gunshots ringin' in my hood
They sound so off-beat
I'm prayin' they don't off me
I promise I'd change it if I could

Oh, why? (Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why?)
Oh, why? (Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why?)
Oh, why? (Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why?)
(Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why?)
Oh, why? (Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why?)
Oh, why? (Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why?)
Oh, why? (Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why?)

I can see the ripple, I
Can see the changes, oh, my
I can feel the reaper, I
Can hear the angels, oh, i
Cross my heart for safety, hope
I stay alive, oh, lord
They always go too crazy, it's
Really peace of mind, good God
All my life, I had to fight, all my life
Passin' by
All my life, I had to write, all my life
I had to die
All I had to sacrifice, blood, sweat
And tears pays the price
Start to think for better day's tomorrow
Keep my spirit's high up
When it rains, it pours, my ceiling go up
Then it turn in my floor
Then the game show love
Then count my blessings, my praise goes up
Big dawg, my nigga since day one
When the Sun go down, when the lights go up
Still ten toes down, I'ma keep mine tucked
I'ma bang my buck, I'ma play my hand
Then I ain't gon' change 'til I free my lands
I'ma use my hands, I'ma play my songs
I'ma play mine right 'til I prove my dance
And the key to my life, I'ma sing my wrongs
I'ma be that light, I'ma clap my hands
I'ma smoke my weed, see my bands
And I lead by faith, and I play my jam
And you might think I'm out of tune
But it ain't got shit to do
You with you, oh my, god

Your freedom is beyond anyone
Outside of yourself's controllin'
It can't be bought and sold, given away
Or even stolen it's a divine entitlement
Vital to the nourishment of the soul
Encouragin' spiritual growth to channel
The ethereal flow
Of creation's river across the cosmos
This blessed osmosis
Triggerin' consciousness to focus
And the paradigm ascension
Transcendin' beyond all space
And time dimensions
Not to mention my penchant for benediction
Been addicted minds
Been consistent in my grind
Of usin' every pen and pencil I can find
To elevate the state of decline
That's draggin' my people down so
Deep that the climb
Could never be done in a single lifetime
So I write life's lines, correction
My lines write life
Correction, my life lines right up
When serving' my purpose to write
And recite what touches
And sights ignite that unites us
So we can finally stop runnin', from freedom
Yeah
