Angels Walking pt1
Artist: TenToezDowN Coop
(Intro)
My heart is divine
Purge me in case I got to walk through the places
That you shouldn't go without a brother with you
Just in case, you never know
(Verse 1)
Demons everywhere, they’re lurking all around the town
But when I let my demons out, they think that we as one
Can see the Divine up inside, but they don't mess with me
Because they see my darkness around me
They can see that I got a little bit of extra dirt on me
Like, "What is he? A half-breed? Is he a walker?"
He's a Daywalker, he like Blade, yeah
I be Wesley Sniping though, forget the IRS and everybody all around
Forget the government, politicians, they should get shook down
I'm a G, I've always stood up on my toes
Ever since I was a youngin’, came up out my mama's womb
I jumped out that—everybody knew that I was going to be a different breed
And that's for sure
(Verse 2)
That's probably why they left me, forgotten child I was
My brother and my sister, they went somewhere else
And I was the one who stayed back in the mess
My mama went to jail, so where did I go?
Went to my pops, and my pops went to jail
I ended up in the school bus with some dude
I can't remember his name, I don't hate on him
But it wasn't the best situation for a child, I know
It's all good, I forgive them both, for sure
I've been here in the struggle since, and I ain't going back again
Never again
(Chorus)
I know I'm already in my own version of the struggle though
I got my brother, he don't even talk to me
My sister don't talk to me, ain't even got a relationship
But they got my kids, so how am I supposed to deal with this?
It's got me out here in the gutter trying to figure out a way
To get through all this pain and all this drama, misery
It's got me on my hands and knees
I pray, "Lord, you save me please, and can you get me out this quick?"
Saying I'm sinking in, I'm asking God every day
Can He save me? Because I fall, and I don't want to fall
I just want to make it up, so I’m gonna climb
I’ma never fall down, I don't want to fall down, no
(Bridge)
I'm going to stand my ground for sure
Everywhere that I go, I’ma do my best
I promise I’ma hold it down for all of my people
Genuine hearts, I got your back till the day we fold
That will never be, 'cause I'm on ten toes
Yeah, ten toes down people, it's a warm-up off the dome
Tick-tock, click-clack, click-clock
Tick-tock, where’d the clock go?
Running out of time, running out of sand in the hourglass though
(Verse 3)
But it's all gravy, we join the Navy—but I ain't join the Navy
I joined the Army, I tried to join the Navy as a matter of fact
I was like, "I want to be a Navy SEAL," they're like "Cool, can you swim?"
I was like "No," they were like "Cool, well you broke your femur"
I was like, "Oh yeah, uh yeah, I know"
"You got tattoos on your wrist, oh sorry brother, tattoos are no"
Not my femur, it is what it is though
I don't regret nothing, man, you can't live life with regrets
You got to keep on moving
(Outro)
Big love to all my real ones out there
Keep your head up, keep your toes down
You’re gonna get through this, unity is key
All conditional love, let's do this
Let's get out of this struggle, let's survive
Survive? No, let's prevail, elevate
They’re in our way, we dead names
