First Breath Lyrics

The Descendant

When i was born when i was born

When i was born Man

When i was born when i was born

When i took my first breath

When i was born i didn't know anything

I was never warned i just popped out the Hyman

That first cry, when the breath is taken

That first sign of life, joy, but it seems painful

A clean slate, a clean chalk board

A clean brain, a clean thought

A clean slate, a clean chalk board

A clean brain, a clean thought

On my birthday the sky was filled with lightening

God taking pictures of his amazing creation

Baby crying

Tears of joy falling down my Mama's eyes

The pain she endured she said was worth the price

It was a baby boy again, that made it twice

Twice the sacrifice to give birth to life

Tear of life rolling down my chubby cheeks

It was divine the sound of my heartbeat

I didn't know anything, not even what to seek

I mumbled everything, i couldn't even speak

Then they started writing on my clean brain

Then they gave me a white clan name

I didn't know, they didn't know too

I am not putting putting blame on anyone

I just know that i am not the same

When i was born i didn't know anything

I was never warned i just popped out the Hyman

That first cry, when the breath is taken

That first sign of life, joy, but it seems painful

A clean slate, a clean chalk board

A clean brain, a clean thought

A clean slate, a clean chalk board

A clean brain, a clean thought

3 decades later i picked up the pen

The charades was over i was born again

From a slave to the jack of all trade

No mental constraints

I am molding my own clay

I'm telling my own story

I know for me, i know who i am gone be

I can smell all the glory, I can smell all the glory

I can smell all the glory

I counting all the bodies as i approach my destiny

The second coming predetermined by my Ancestors

I am a message from the past written in black letters

I took my first real breath in these rap sessions

I am a descendant of all the clan elders

I had to drop the old me to build a king

I couldn't remain stuck in this hamster wheel

Running around myself, ignoring reality

I approached a bookshelf and now i can see

When i was born i didn't know anything

I was never warned i just popped out the Hyman

That first cry, when the breath is taken

That first sign of life, joy, but it seems painful

A clean slate, a clean chalk board

A clean brain, a clean thought

A clean slate, a clean chalk board

A clean brain, a clean thought

When i was born i didn't know anything

I was never warned i just popped out the Hyman

That first cry, when the breath is taken

That first sign of life, joy, but it seems painful

A clean slate, a clean chalk board

A clean brain, a clean thought

A clean slate, a clean chalk board

A clean brain, a clean thought
