Pick Up The Phone by Kamus Leonardo Lyrics
Pick Up The Phone
[verse]
Welcome to America, where the one percent is evil like Angelica
Stay true to yourself, too many replicas
Being black in America, we’re the number one targets
They're shoving fear down our throats, when they’re harmless
I’ll paint a picture with these tears, I’m an artist
I’m not afraid to shed light where it’s darkness
They’re snatching all of our seeds, so they won’t harvest
I pulled out all the weeds, look at my garden
The devil dangled the bait, so I dodged that
Man it’s hard to be so peaceful, when you gotta keep your piece full
Feeling like an eagle flying high above these seagulls
It’s hard to keep it legal when you’ve got to feed your people
I’m just looking through the peephole, opportunities be knocking
Now I’m staring at the victim with their blood on my veins
Bite marks on my neck feeling numb to the pain
Insane
[bridge]
I hear the lord calling
I hear the lord calling me x4
[Chorus]
Now you see me, Now you don’t
In this world, you’re on your own
Take it slow, stepping stones
To miss the call or pick up the phone? x2
[verse]
Fighting demons everyday cause I choose to fight back
Barley up in them streets, mama ain’t play that shit
She said, “Son it’s time to shine!”
But now I’m stuck in hell shining through chemtrails
If you look up in the sky, you’ll see the pigs fly
You might hear some firecrackers or some gunshots
Peep the fiends on the corner tryna find some wings
I gave em’ money for some food, but they’d rather fly
I mean, if I had the choice I’d escape too
So if I runaway, does the pain too?
I don’t think some of y’all know what pain do
You complete the first wave, now it’s phase 2
On and On
[I swear the only thing constant is change
I'm turning the page x3]
[Chorus]
Now you see me, Now you don’t
In this world, you’re on your own
Take it slow, stepping stones
To miss the call or pick up the phone? x2
[Outro]
Picking up the pieces while I'm chiefing
I'm hoping for clarity once the smoke clears. [x2]
