State Of Grace en Talib Kweli

Letra de musica State Of Grace en Talib Kweli

State Of Grace
State Of Grace

From the top,from the top,from the top,from the top
From the top,from the top,from the top,from the top
In a state of grace
Where the talent is surrounded by the pain and the violence
So the selling never safe
At the same time snitching to the Jake
Is the quickest way to get found at the bottom of a lake
But the problem we face seems so great
That we can’t escape so we accept our faith
So the sex and the money and the murder are the pictures we paint
If an artist is a part of community
And got an opportunity to get that cake
Would never come back to the hood ,no immunity
Usually a nigga like that so fake
No different from a snake
Nothing left to give cause you always wanna take
If you ain’t using all the talents God provided you with
For the ...of man
Understand you ain’t nothing but a waste
Look into the face of a young girl
Raising up like a flag when it’s unfurled
Got game listening to her mother’s pearls
And she loves Beyonce cause she runs the world
Her momma used to run this city
Way back before the nigga Puff was Diddy
When it came to the music,then she got real picky
From New York,but preferred 2Pac over Biggie
No disrespect to Ms.Wallace,but she liked to do the knowledge
And she fellt that Pac was more lyrical
Plus she never went to college
But she called herself ”Earth” found rhythm with the gods more spiritual
She God in the physical
And it’s only natural to pray for a little you
Musical so she played the umbilical chords
So her daughter was born ,it was a miracle
Music is the light when it’s dark
And the way that you spit your dart is a big part
She grew up loving hip hop
Now all her daughter got is ”Love&Hip-Hop”
Nowadays niggaz turn up for the sex
Niggaz turn up for the money,never turn up for the movement
...reality stars that be looking so stupid
Getting in the fights at reunions
She used to be inspired by the writers,now she’s tired of the biters
No desire for the lying andthe violence
That’s inflicted on the body in a so-called party environment
Her body is politics
Lost count of how many whores she was called today
She won’t do it no more,lost all her faith
They say she exaggerate when she ...
But it’s only so much she can tolerate

Help me find my way to a state of grace
Stir my heart ,touch my soul
Feed me freedom sounds you made
Help me find a way to a state of grace
Lift me up with your weight
Pull me to the grace

She wanna be the first in her family with a higher education
Her entire gradutaion was a ...situation
Did a paper on the state of the hip hop generation
But no longer felt a part of the conversation
Used to be I’m a ride or die chick
B.I.G with the ”Me and my bitch”
No objections ,being an object
Major label seeing a profit
She ain’t never been a bitch or a hoe
But she used to sing along when she heard it in a song
She used to be front row at the shows ‚till she overdoes on the testosterone
Her favourite rapper invited her backstage ,would have stayed
But she felt like she really ain’t belong
When she wouldn’t let him hit,ths nigga called her a bitch
She erased all her songs from the phone
You are who you fuck with,so the guy that she stuck with
You can bump it or dump it,the artist she trusted
Just broke her heart ,so ...and disgusting
She tried no to judge him
In her heart she still loved him
And the way that he...a part of his suffering
And this young man clearly not ready for the harder discussion
Female MCs acting more like a dude than a dude do,only if you knew
I know a few who flow crazier that if you flew over the nest of the ...
But she never gonna hear them in the mix so the new attitude
Taking...from the radio playing that doodoo
She on D’Angelo Pandora station playing that Voodoo,who knew?

Help me find my way to a state of grace
Stir my heart ,touch my soul
Feed me freedom sounds you made
Help me find a way to a state of grace
Lift me up with your weight
Pull me to the grace

In the face of hate
She’d be lucky for a balance cause the world is challenging her to be great
I see lyrics as colours and shapes
Put it on tape,let her know I could relate
Whe you wish you could switch the way that you look
And your nose was smaller and your hair was straight
When you got no faith
When you hate yourself,when you hate your race
Let’s get to the core
Our sisters worth more than ...on the wall half-naked
She a bitch,she a whore
And you rich and you shit on the poor
In all of your records and ask them to buy it
Why should I support music that constantly disrespects me?
And make you dismissive of the efforts of those who get left
With the charge of ... it correctly
When it’s free online or in a cloud
Ain’t no reason to touch the radio dial
You wonder why you don’t hear no sounds in the air
And it’s clear that your sales going down
Down by law then you found the raw
On a message board and you ...off
These niggaz get the whole word,but what’s the cause?
No wonder why these niggaz be sounding lost
Rhyming is a memory
The assembly line rap niggaz is designed by the enemy
Stop giving them your soul,gift wrap
Prepackaged,fabricated shit rap
Running through you like fast food,Big Mac’s
You don’t want no problems,fix that
All the time that you spent listening to that bullshit
Now you ain’t never bonna get back

Help me find my way to a state of grace
Stir my heart ,touch my soul
Feed me freedom sounds you made
Help me find a way to a state of grace
Lift me up with your weight
Pull me to the grace

She don’t love it ,no
She don’t love it no more
She don’t love it ,no
She don’t love it no more
She don’t love it ,no
She don’t love it no more
She don’t love it ,no
She don’t love it no more,no more,no more,no more.no more,no more,no more
She don’t love it no more
