Woke Up in a Melody Lyrics

Chicago's golden slam poet

Is back in motion

Knocking speakers in the house

Like Nancy Pelosi

I've been floating in the potion of Blackest roses

In between micro dosing

And keeping it sober

Stay modest in the face

Of the greediest posers

Trying to coat the kids' walls

With CDs and posters

City bleeding and I'm fiending

To seam it with culture

I'm the big brother baby

The family closer

I was born in the form of

The rock of Gibraltar

Can't contain all the pain

Chicago will Hulk you

Too much fiction in the picture

From Johnny Travoltas

Need a refund for the reruns

That they sold you

I'm the high to the mid

That they lowed you

I dance salsa while I listen to Sosa

Be yourself even when

You not supposed to

And fuck them if they wining

Like mimosa

I woke up in a melody

Free don't leave

I woke up in a melody

Free don't leave

I don't know what's happening

On the other side

I cannot waste no day no way

Running out of time

The sky turns grey and the

Sun still rains on me

Had to meditate let the

Melody sang through me

I been training like Bruce Wayne When Bane broke his back

Same city Saba Mick and

Chano learned to rap

Where they glorify gentrify

Justify homicide

Sitting in my living room

Deciding if I live or die

Staring at a picket white fence

Damn Gina bought a

Beamer and a Benz

Talked to this oracle

He gave me two cents

He said why you think they call it Abercrimebie and Fitch

They wouldn't save your ass if you

Was lying in a ditch

And you spent your last dollar and You sold your last kid

It's just the biz

I don't take it personal

I don't really got no money

All I got is words for you

Stuck between a rock

And being what you want me to

Pressure on my follicles

I might move my longitude

It's peachy till they auction you

Or offer you no offer

That's not awful or

A coffin that will cost you

Like two of you

I woke up in a melody

Free don't leave

I woke up in a melody

Free don't leave

I don't know what's happening

On the other side

I cannot waste no day no way Running out of time

The sky turns grey and the sun still Rains on me

Had to meditate let the

Melody sang through me
