I 285 - (Interlude) Lyrics by Alex Faith & Dre Murray

Southern Lights: Overexposed

2015

[Produced by Swoope]
[Intro: Alex Faith]
Where I was raised Hip-Hop was the language that everybody around me spoke. So I grew up listening to that. I enjoyed it. I loved it. So that was the language I was taught to believe in. As a believer, the motivation for me is to counter that message and teach people about Jesus and how Jesus is better than those things that we were taught via the vehicle of Hip-Hop
[Verse: Alex Faith]
We gonna start off at the bottom half of 285
Plenty cemeteries filled with partners and family who've died
It's my heartbeat, deep within my bloodline
From racial history to the tears I've seen in momma's eyes
Die birth city, many different colour faces
Let's talk about the music though, even if you hate it
So fresh and so clean, know that everybody plays this style
Took this map by storm and that goes without saying
Everybody wanna sound like us, talk with a drawl
Boy they used to clown on us
And 3 Stacks told them we have somethin' to say
And Pastor Troy said ain't no more playing GA'
I'm turning on the radio
I tell them I don't feel that
Lost when they tell me they gonna bring the real back
Poison to the system but the radio raised me
And on the south side we weren't rocking with no Jay-Z
The only T.I.P in my playlist was repping Bankhead
For the city that I love you can bank that
Come from where they talk about swagger
I know you hate that
But I'm cut from the same cloth from the people who made that
An era where Young Jeezy was still the snowman
And 2 Chainz was still playing circle
That's all I know man
All I know was chasing money, stacking nice things
I didn't hear a De La Soul until I was like 19
And I ain't hating, I'm just stating the facts
I weren't trying to hear it if it weren't coming from the trap
These days, I've grown to appreciate a lot of different styles
But nobody ever touched me like they did in the South
So rapping about rims and grills yeah I can do that
But it's not what I'm here for
Cause some don't have a clue that
We were made for more than skating by and chasing paychecks
And we were made for more than getting high and feeling faded
And we were made for more than taking lives because of hatred
And we were made for more than life on Earth and I can say that
Because, regardless of what these preachers wanna tell us
We were made in God's beautiful image, and he wants us
