Lyrics for 1491

It's Navy Blue the truest It takes a lot to do this Trust, trust, uh I used to kiss my Saint Christopher, fuck Christopher Columbus 1491, it's one and done, this shit is fucked up Sitting in my thoughts and smoking dolo in the spot So many photos on the wall at most the times I was caught In a web that I had spun myself, the damage did a lot Couldn't afford to follow troops so doot-doot-doot, the block is hot I got brothers in the ends though to whom I miss a lot They got machetes in their track pants, a swishy in the sock Say a prayer for a black man, I been feeling down I couldn't wait to help myself cope, I'm overcome with doubt Stuck in the shit like velcro to those I care about To delve home, missed it, all the mischief I have carried around this hellhole Structure on the church lid, spire like I'm Melo My family came from London off a road called Portobello Parallel to Ladbroke Grove, I know the way it gets When they stepping through a city well known with no regrets Shoulders ain't for crying on when feelings intersect I been feeling Navy Blue just like my father's cigarettes Uh, I used to kiss my Saint Christopher, fuck Christopher Columbus 1491, it's one and done, this shit is fucked up Uh, shit is fucked up Song of Sage, racing to find the days Baby, I know the way Take me to where it rains The rest of me in the flames, my messages in their vein That's all that a nigga saying Bothers me when they can't, remembering better days Collard greens with the yams I couldn't let it flow, but nigga conscious built the dam Momma take my hand, I know she know When my momma take my hand, I know she know I know she know No matter what the weak heart say And I know that I and I is like the tree that plant by the river of water And not even the dog that piss against the wall of Babylon shall escape this judgment For I and I know wah? I and I know that all every youth shall witness the day that Babylon shall fall!
