Tales of The Forgotten by Ayoinmotion Lyrics

Genre: rap | Year: 2012

I write for the forgotten masses
Passing through life studying hard
Yet failing classes
In a school rigged by
Malicious tactics not fiction, fact is

Most of what we see is controlled by the unseen
So everything isn't always what it seems
History repeats itself so what is
Is already what has been

Like the correlation between Vietnam
And Afghanistan giving money to Pakistan

Situation crazy
Like Eminem"s fan Stan

And American people switched off
Rather than being pissed off
Soldiers and their families
Trying to be tough but feeling left in the dust
Money leaking war cause companies like Halliburton
Are money-stealing whores
Suck a dick of the GOV

Just give them enough
No cash get a shove
Pay up get the love

Obama's promises coming up empty
Well let me fill you with truth
The story of this forgotten war
Is what I spit in the booth
No ounce left of couth

To know where the blame should be put
Trace the problem to it's root
Accountability is missing
Like an 80 years old tooth

Chorus :
Tales of the forgotten is what I am trying to tell
The opposite of heaven is their hell

Hard to keep the faith look what they did to Sean Bell
Tales of the forgotten is what I am trying to tell x2
Arrival in this country at age of fourteen
Happy yet an angry teen
I guess you could call my personality split screen
Living in Flint, Michigan
Where beef pops off or hook their lives on hoop dreams

Such a story is piercing
Depressed houses on roads of Saginaw and Pierson
Poverty and crime a dangerous pairing
With the old people tearing

Up saying it was all-good 20 years ago
Why did GM have to go?
I tell you their story so you know
Why I rep Flint Michigan in every single flow

Lagos birth me, Flint seasoned me
So am a tale of 2 cities
2 gritty fuck the pretty
Got them bouncing to my music
Like double d titties

My lyrics hit like a heroin fix
Metaphors split your thoughts
Like a bar of Twix
No gimmicks or tricks
Venom is what I spit
Got naysayers green poison ivy
It’s the Nigerian nightmare motherfucker
Not many like me, ask me if I am rolling
Well bitch I might be
Transcend boundaries like the high seas

If he's funeral fab then am lyrical lab
Cooked up potions just to take a dab
My music on your head like an hijab

Know am dope but I love it when you tell me
Am in New York like Semi
Trying to get an Ashton like Demi

Drop the H then you get me
It’s the Nigerian Nightmare Never forget me!

Chorus
Tales of the forgotten is what I am trying to tell
The opposite of heaven is their hell

Hard to keep the faith look what they did to Sean Bell
Tales of the forgotten is what I am trying to tell x2
