Church Piano

They often hate and spite us
I pledge to unite us
These devils still despise us
Bless the freedom fighters
And the local righteous
In the league of writers
Who spit the words of fire
My connection's heavy
Young brother Ev-y, get them files to Eddie
Something change inside me 'cause
I'm not drinking nightly
They often hate and spite me
I pledge to live, i'm godly
Even when they indict me
Release and free the godly
I work a different angle, not a Star Spangled
But of makings of you
Good brother Curtis Mayfield
Defari, you anointed? Nah, just BitCoined it
Made my way, cash tokens
The whole family hold it
Baptized when I was seven
Hear the church piano
Now you see why the brethren
Is an eternal candle
A fire, lit the tree, California weed
Had the whole Le Montmartre say "Merci merci"
Live the life exquisite
Blessing is Herut-hless
I know what I've been given
Smart enough to go on and use it

I know what I've been given
Smart enough to go on and use it
I know what I've been given
Smart enough to go on and use it
I know what I've been given
Smart enough to go on and use it
I know what I've been given
Smart enough to go on and use it
I know what I've been given
Smart enough to go on and use it
I know what I've been given
Smart enough to go on and use it
I know what I've been given
Smart enough to go on and use it

If you see me walking down the street
And I start to crydon't even speak
Walk on by walk on by
'Cause I'm high on this blackness

We number one consumers, smarten up
Let's use this
We don't own none of the city
Ballin's useless
They can't domesticate me, man
The Johnnys hate me
Why the suspicion? Why it's still slavery?
Excuse my observation, and my occupation
My skin color give police reservations
Unless I'm playing on a field or a TV station
They'd rather have me in the fields
Or calling in my casin'
But yet I'm optimistic, always realistic
Have they forgot my granddad
And uncles enlisted?
Then served a country that always
Like to say 'Fuck me'
It's okay, young fella, your people unlucky
I live the life exquisite
Blessing is Herut-hless
I know what I've been given
Smart enough to go on and use it

Smart enough to go on and use it
I know what I've been given
Smart enough to go on and use it
I know what I've been given
Smart enough to go on and use it
I know what I've been given
Smart enough to go on and use it

Is it true that if you don't use it
You lose it? (Is that a serious question?)
No, it wasn't
