PRAYERS TO MY PEOPLE Lyrics

A life full of pain and sadness, or is it madness

We all got gems, it's just hard for them to grab it

Crystals, different color agates

We got love from our Moms and Dads

We found beauty in the Blackness

Stackhouse Media

This a letter to the future me, nothing that they could do with me

I lived a long life and it was written for me beautifully

Currency of life, I'm making a deposit

Don't tell them your dreams, they wanna sabotage it

I'm just being honest, skeletons in the closet

Mind full of chaos, a room full of objects

It's gon' take a lot of days for you to find it

The pressure makes diamonds like a change in the climate

What we stacking?

I strive for perfection, in the mind of a God

A loss is a lesson

I'm alive in every single dimension

The apple of my eye, I'm aligned with my blessings

I strive for perfection, in the mind of a God

A loss is a lesson

I'm alive in every single dimension

The apple of my eye, I'm aligned with my blessings

I'm so black, go back to Africa black

Black like they don't even know the magic of black

Black, from America to Ghana and back

I'm so black that I even made a song about black

Black, like why you gotta speak the truth on that

Black, you gotta try to see the nuance black

Black, I'm Dr. Umar Black

I'm so black, like why you even gotta do all that

Black

Before I had leverage, I had a vision and wanted the recognition

Now they treasure my presence, it's better than my predictions

Hypocrites and contradictions, it's prevalent in the system

The path less traveled, I positioned myself against them

If I had a dollar for every heart that I touched, I'd have a hundred million dollars

Still never could be enough

The same people who say it's one in a million

Be the gatekeepers, ain't even who you would think it is

That's the main reason I'm praying for all the children to make it and break even

There's a great leader in every man

Get my sea moss from Felicity and her mama

You get what you want, that's the definition of Karma

Beneficence is the testament of a doctor

Music is medicine, definitely the mantra

I strive for perfection, in the mind of a God

A loss is a lesson

I'm alive in every single dimension

The apple of my eye, I'm aligned with my blessings

I strive for perfection, in the mind of a God

A loss is a lesson

I'm alive in every single dimension

The apple of my eye, I'm aligned with my blessings

I strive for perfection, in the mind of a God

A loss is a lesson

I'm alive in every single dimension

The apple of my eye, I'm aligned with my blessings

I strive for perfection, in the mind of a God

A loss is a lesson

I'm alive in every single dimension

The apple of my eye, I'm aligned with my blessings

My name is Tetteh Anansi

I am the son of Ghanaian immigrants

Specifically the son of Ghana

We've dealt with the imperialism of the British Empire

Which the Palestinian people suffer under in the occupation of the Israeli government

So I stand here in solidarity with them

And every other indigenous person who suffers

Under the foot of the British imperialism

All forms of settler colonialism

Together we're united

We can never be divided

Everybody always remember that

And make sure that you always stand up for any injustice

No matter where they are

The person looks like you or not
