Harry Belafonte Lyrics by JP Reynolds

Guavamatic Space Dream

2016

Intro:
My people screaming like:
What’s goin on
(Can’t nobody see it’s straight savage
On a black man and woman out here?
Trying to sell me on orange and pink
Unicorns
What you talking about?)
Bloody streets, don’t push me
I’m barely holding on
(Nah, nah man I know
A serpent when I see it:
Same snake, new skin
Where do I begin?)
Now it’s time for me to fly
I’m a take it to the sky
Verse 1:
This got that making of a rebel feel
Lifting up my fists, don’t make a difference
Let the wreckage build
Killing off your systems
Sit with scripts on my director’s bill
Peace and Power reppin’ till we’re victors
Still I rep the Ville
Vilians learn your lessons here
Weapons will draw
But your weapons wield flawed
Vaudeville be a chopper
But your weapons never prosper
I’m a monster, I’m a brute
I despise your biased eyes
Tragedy too common
I swear death advises lies
What’s goin on, what’s goin on?
Marvin gone, but I sing the same song
There’s something deep inside us
That accounts for why we’re strong
They tried to bury us, but we are seeds
They got it wrong
Hook:
What’s going on?
(I swear it’s wild out here
Folks acting like the evils ain’t real
I be like, ‘Get familiar with the danger g.”)
Bloody streets don’t push me
I’m barely holding on
(Just trying to keep my head above water
Feel like they want me drowned, bound
Uncrowned.)
Now it’s time for me to fly
(Never that though.)
I’ma a take it to the sky
Bring my power back
(I want it all back. Every single droplet.)
You tried to steal my soul from me
Got another thing coming
Bring that power back
(Nah, you playing with it
That, that, and that too
Come up off that.)
Verse 2:
Now I’m busting through that ceiling
Can you dig it?
Got me feeling like I’m Harry Belafonte
Pauly Robey with my story
Punches throwing to my dome
I be rolling, I be rolling
I got fire in my bones
I can’t hold it, I can’t hold it
And I’m really ‘bout this life
So trust me this ain’t just recording
Plotting on how they can shorten my life
They shading my light, but no
I’m not having that
So now I’m on this journey with drive
And I’m taking my flight
Ain’t no more middle passages
I’m not in the business of seeing no limits
So can you imagine what status my vantage is
God is the size of my hope
And I’m praying dear Lord
Can you please help me manage it
Young, gifted, and black – that weigh a ton
Nina gone but I sing the same song
There’s something deep inside us
That accounts for why we’re strong
They tried to bury us, but we are seeds
They got it wrong
Hook:
What’s going on?
(See my ancestors was enslaved
And they paved the way
But I’m still wondering
When the change gon’ come.)
Bloody streets don’t push me
I’m barely holding on
(See the truth is buried inside me
And the secrets of the kingdom are hidden
In my unborn child
My love holds the future. What up)
Now it’s time for me to fly
I’ma a take it to the sky
Bring my power back
(Hats off for the heist, though
You laid the theft game crazy)
You tried to steal my soul from me
Got another thing coming
(Nah, nah. Run that.)
Bring that power back
(Yea yea you thought it was over
Soul game too strong though.)
Outro:
Now we busting through that ceiling
With that vision on a trillion
Bring that power back
You tried to steal my soul from me
Got another thing coming
Bring that power back
Now we busting through that ceiling
With this vision on a trillion
Bring that power back
You tried to steal my soul from me
Got another thing coming
Bring that power back
