lyrics

Heart Headed:
Chorus:
heavy is the head who wears the crown
but ready is the head that never needed it
the levees being fed and let us down
it’s headed for your head you best believe in it

Verse 1 (Sintax):
The God of Abraham hard-hearted the Pharaoh cold 
killer as he delivered the children of Israel let em go 
skin shiver me to the soul 
like the angel of death he's trying to neck with me bro 
it's hair raising apparently so how arrogantly slow we narrow path go 
like an arrow to that sparrow you got your eye on blow 
we're broken all the way down to the ion node 
I've actually seen the waters divide and land dry 
hands high and the sun resist it's path in the sky 
locust and the fly holy host with my own eye 
deliverance personified in bronze to make alive 
and guess what? I called it a lie I said the things I've seen were actually contrived 
Cause we can see God and not see at the same time 
I call it being legally heart and head blind 
he speaks to us in seasons and mathematical primes 
so you can feel the reason in the sublime 
but we're so heart-headed too thick to resign 
Lord God forgive the failings of our feelings and mind - heart headed

Chorus:
heavy is the head who wears the crown
but ready is the head that never needed it
the levees being fed and let us down
it’s headed for your head you best believe in it

Verse 2 (Nomis):
this is where compassion meets intellect
the Rastas fostered me as family, but also taught me Menelik
long before I’ve been a vet, my listeners have benefit
‘cause making this more than just rhyming (yo) I’ve been adept
in effect this, “this is bigger than hiphop”
and I’m rendered ineffective when i forget
yeah i’ll quote them, though its evident we don’t see eye to eye
but I & I recalls a super power built on misguided dead presidents
(DEEP) bars homie let it sink in
speaking with the depth of a novelist, I’m 20,000 leagues up in the Nautilus
everything could crumble but I've gotta risk it all
'cause my Agape is the way I show my God exists
we can debate ’til we're blue in the face about how to erase poverty and guns in school
I can't control the spending habits of the needy, but I know from when I'm reading it's our job to keep their stomachs full
come up out your wallet run that
A dollar won’t correct our loses, but it meets a need in the process
(yeah) ’til it meets the greed of the bosses
they’ll stay, apathetic but keep on feeding us “progress”
and we don’t need a Colossus or Weather Witch
(brain storm), find the one, leave the 99 where the flock is
walk in one spirit, ‘til none fear it
sons peer it young, so I start in front mirrors

Bridge:
I got one lyric pointed at your head for start
the other one is pointed at your heart
(2x)

Chorus:
heavy is the head who wears the crown
but ready is the head that never needed it
the levees being fed and let us down
it’s headed for your head you best believe in it
Can I teach peace can I (4X)

Bridge:
I got one lyric pointed at your head for start/
the other one is pointed at your heart/
(2x)
