New Beginning

Lyrics for New Beginning

With a skill like poetry, all is glory in all I hear As a cold wind blowing, bars exploding all by my ear With a world so crazy, only you, baby, I need right here This is a new beginning (blackism is poetry) Poetry is black words floating on black rhythm (This is a new beginning) black poetry is black people Yeah, yeah-ah Since my birth it's hard to say if I was destined for greatness With all of the shit I been through, I ain't expect us to make it I lost hope and found words, inspired a lost herd 'Cause the greatest gift a woman can give is a child's birth I wrote a three page letter I was conceived within the belly of the beast by some teenaged rebels My mother birth a queen that grew up to be a legend On the road doing shows I blew up to bring a blessing But I starve peace and I feed stress Gave 'em food for thought, it is spoiled now So I think less, decisions I regret Working like a dog, surviving off of the catnaps Now so I dream less, my goal is to drink less Pain that she wear with a smile She was a black teen pregnant but she carried me proud (yeah) I plant a seed for the kids when I write So every time you hear a verse, you get to witness a life (A child's birth) with a skill like poetry all is glory in all I hear As a cold wind blowing, bars exploding all by my ear In a world so crazy, only you, baby, I need right here This is a new beginning This is a new beginning I went from holding grudges to holding hands with time These weapons formed against me will only jam my cries Sometimes 'Cause I wonder if god heard her struggle Tryin' to find the words to say after grief, is like a crossword puzzle My thoughts were rich, even when I was poor Was in the womb, pulling strings on my umbilical cord A soldier is only tested in the middle of war I brainstorm the weather, the storm 'cause I did it before Yeah, my Uncle Sean was like a big brother to me I wrote letters when he was locked, for like ten summers for me He got out and we talked, he was trying to seek another plan His last words to me, "I want to be a better man" Just the fact that we had to bury you is wild Heard his girlfriend pregnant, so now she carrying his child Your name lives, even if you ain't alive in the flesh Now I know what it truly means when they say, life after death (A child's birth) with a skill like poetry all is glory in all I hear As a cold wind blowing, bars exploding all by my ear In a world so crazy, only you, baby, I need right here This is a new beginning, this is a new beginning, this is a new beginning This is a new beginning, this is a new beginning, this is a new beginning This is a new beginning, this is a new beginning
