Drama Lyrics by RZA

Digi Snacks

2008

[Intro: RZA]
I wanna dedicate this song to the young god, Kareem
The Gka-Gka-Gka, The Genius
Digi
Say it to 'em roof angel
[Chorus: Thea]
Learn to keep my head up to the sky
And ask myself why, it has to be this way
I'd like to live my life in peace
And health, not to worry about
All the dramas of the day
As we strive for luxury
And try to feed our families
It always seems that someone's in your way
I'd like to live my life in peace
And health, not to worry about
All the dramas of the day
[Verse 1: RZA & Monk]
I met a young brother, about 28
Who seemed intelligent and rather quite straight
I greeted him, and struck up conversation
To see if the youngster had some self motivation
Peace brother, what's your name? How you be?
I'm Rugged Monk and I'm all about the currency
You mean gettin' paid?
Yeah like my man's brother
Who has a condo, he shares with his baby mother
You know a condo beats my apartment
With no lights, no gas and backed up rent
No hot water or heat, infested with plenty rats
That'll eat up the average alley cat
I'm like damn, homey, that's poverty
He's like Word O.G. that bothers me
Plus I'm about to be a new father, G
We need to wise up and change the hood policy
[Chorus: Thea]
Learn to keep my head up to the sky
And ask myself why, it has to be this way
I'd like to live my life in peace
And health, not to worry about
All the dramas of the day
As we strive for luxury
And try to feed our families
It always seems that someone's in your way
I'd like to live my life in peace
And health, not to worry about
All the dramas of the day
[Verse 2: RZA & Monk]
Yo, why you fear the Devil as a grown man?
Why you not out there tryna make your own plan?
See we are a victim, of a situation
Where a wicked man, separated the nation
And got us killin' off one another
Black on black, they pit brother on brother
It's gettin' hot, hotter than July
See the murder and crime rate is risin' to the sky
For example, in my neighborhood it's so hot
I'm often woke up, from the alarming sounding of a shot
So I'm thinking, "What?", Is your neighborhood a trap?
Could this be the place marked X on the map?
And I'm spotted like a target in a shooting gallery
So I strive to seek for a better salary
So I can escape from where? From this ghetto life area
'Cause everyday it gets scarier
[Chorus: Thea]
Learn to keep my head up to the sky
And ask myself why, it has to be this way
I'd like to live my life in peace
And health, not to worry about
All the dramas of the day
As we strive for luxury
And try to feed our families
It always seems that someone's in your way
I'd like to live my life in peace
And health, not to worry about
All the dramas of the day
