Woke Up in a Melody

Chicago's golden slam poet Is back in motion Knocking speakers in the house Like Nancy Pelosi I've been floating in the potion of Blackest roses In between micro dosing And keeping it sober Stay modest in the face Of the greediest posers Trying to coat the kids' walls With CDs and posters City bleeding and I'm fiending To seam it with culture I'm the big brother baby The family closer I was born in the form of The rock of Gibraltar Can't contain all the pain Chicago will Hulk you Too much fiction in the picture From Johnny Travoltas Need a refund for the reruns That they sold you I'm the high to the mid That they lowed you I dance salsa while I listen to Sosa Be yourself even when You not supposed to And fuck them if they wining Like mimosa I woke up in a melody Free don't leave I woke up in a melody Free don't leave I don't know what's happening On the other side I cannot waste no day no way Running out of time The sky turns grey and the Sun still rains on me Had to meditate let the Melody sang through me I been training like Bruce Wayne When Bane broke his back Same city Saba Mick and Chano learned to rap Where they glorify gentrify Justify homicide Sitting in my living room Deciding if I live or die Staring at a picket white fence Damn Gina bought a Beamer and a Benz Talked to this oracle He gave me two cents He said why you think they call it Abercrimebie and Fitch They wouldn't save your ass if you Was lying in a ditch And you spent your last dollar and You sold your last kid It's just the biz I don't take it personal I don't really got no money All I got is words for you Stuck between a rock And being what you want me to Pressure on my follicles I might move my longitude It's peachy till they auction you Or offer you no offer That's not awful or A coffin that will cost you Like two of you I woke up in a melody Free don't leave I woke up in a melody Free don't leave I don't know what's happening On the other side I cannot waste no day no way Running out of time The sky turns grey and the sun still Rains on me Had to meditate let the Melody sang through me
