On My Shoulders Lyrics by Campana

Eviction Notice

2016

On My Shoulders
[Verse: Campana]
Working so diligent, yo mama proud of you
Greatness is coming out of you, now you reaching the altitude
Had to battle the doubt, yeah my conscious was fragile
From the leaving the crib at 17, venturing to Seattle
Couldn't stay, my hometown didn't have much to offer
My teacher asked if I had a back up, cause shit gonna cost you
Sure do, enrolled in a community college
I packed my shit up with Jimmy, we went and got an apartment
It's where my brother was living, and he was working on getting
His bachelor's, here's a congratulation for finishing
The world where we're livin, criminalizes citizens
Who's black, that's a fact, they say that I'm different
Cause I ain't been to prison? Cause I pay my tuition?
Cause I believe in the man, for our sins he was risen?
On the phone, with my mama, it was a glorious feeling
When I told her I'm dropping out, but never was quitting
[Chorus: SamNelly]
Good head on my shoulders
It ain't that hard to notice
I'm getting wiser and older
My perspective is gorgeous (x2)
[Verse 2: Campana]
Watch me speak up, I'm ripping this beat up
I'm keeping my feet off the pavement, in other words levitating
Working to become the greatest, I'm more than sure it's my fate
How you know this? It's tangible, you see me give it a shake
By the hand, can you handle it, if I told you
I'm working to the dismantle all the blinding propaganda?
That speaks of blacks in a manner, you disrespecting my people
You keepin on talking that slander, but we will never be equal
Because we're levels above, You can shoot you can shove
But I'm filled with this love, because my spirit's untouchable
Never settled, or comfortable, get the bill; Mr. Huxtable
I'm fulfilling these feelings and goals, fuck what you told
Wasted time up in college, work harder for honor roll
My records are on a roll, now that I've found the gold
Inside of me, an assignment society
Stick together like Siamese, we can take on the hierarchy
Repetition of Chorus
Outro Scratch
