JAMM REKK lyrics : "Lion"

Speech
Today many fall victim to the snares of our time. They give way to the oppressors and controllers of their minds. For they have forgotten about respect, what it means to be true and how it feels to be free. No, we are not helpless. We do have a voice, but for many the choice is to remain silent. Do not be afraid. Have courage for there are some of us who will speak for the rest...


- Verse 1
Yo, who are they to $$#ume, I'm just another man in the room?
I used to be afraid but I don't plan to resume

Cuz I didn't come from Africa to quit tryin
I'm from Senegal so my heart is a, lion
And I been inclined to pray for the search

For peace that we find it in time
But I wanna stay relaxed so I sigh when I rhyme
Words always buzzin in my head

So I guess that I'm fly in the mind
I am a crime cuz I am behind, all of the bars that I write
Yeah we are united like the stars and the stripes

And all I need is a passion in my heart and a mic
My lyrics hit hard like a part of a fight
I am incapable of throwin the game

One hand's holdin the mic the other's
Over the crowd and now they goin insane, my future's a flame
It's getting brighter and brighter the more they knowin my name

But I ain't first I'm a second in God's time
Now I see and I was not blind
I ain't first I'm a second in God's time

Now I see and I was not blind

- Chorus

J-Jamm Rekk why don't you pick up the mic
let 'em hear what's on your mind tonight


- Verse 2
A lotta people don't understand the game
It ain't about a piece you have its how you use it

So I play football and I do music
that means I'm either kickin it or makin ya'll move and startin a movement
Growin up a lotta times I was the new kid

Quiet in the back but thinkin up a storm
If you looked above my head you'd the see the light was on
Preparin for the day I'd grab the microphone

Now I got it, I'm holding it tight, I'm never gonna drop it
I must be hopin I'm a prophet
I've had to be patient and learn

I can't stand if my foundation ain't firm
They say the mind of a poet is heroic
Cuz he be savin people the time of describin they own emotions

With words and ideas so metaphoric even if he don't know it
It gives them somethin they can go and flow with
That's why we on the rise like levitation

And we're the ones changin the nation from every station
I hope this isn't vein like the vessel in your skin
But I can't hold it back cuz the rebel is within

And he's breakin out, taken out any agressor
He won't fold under the pressure


- Chorus
J-Jamm Rekk why don't you pick up the mic
let 'em hear what's on your mind tonight, aight

cuz you you got the heart of a lion
you you you got the heart of lion


- Verse 3
I've never committed to somethin I don't believe in
So the reason I rap is that rap is the reason I'm breathin

Each gasp is a gift, until the day my body in the casket is stiff
Imma pour out my soul even if you ain't askin for it
Cuz maybe I can help someone see that the clouds will pass in a bit

I won't be the last to admit that I need it too
And I ain't leavin you, I'm here to clean the smears
From the glass so you can see the truth

It's time the feed the youth,
Forget what tastes good lets choose what's healthy
I'll admit it even though others would never

That in this endeavor for change you gotta help me
Cuz it's about teaching us all to say "I'll work with the cards that this life has dealt me."
So I'm done complainin that it just isn't fair

Like I have the right to despair, I'll use the hand I got
Cuz in a certain frame of mind like a camera shot
The negative and the positive cause a light to be there
In the dark times I've used the night to prepare
We can take the promised land, I been spyin

Let's do it with our pride cuz we all got the heart of a lion
