Hapi Lyrics By Spillage Village
I met a man playing in the woods
His piano was off key, he sang to me softly
I bet he wouldn’t change it if he could
Gunshots ringing in my hood, they sound so off beat, I’m praying they don’t off me, I promise I’d change it if I could.
Oh why oh why oh why
Oh why oh why oh why
(Mereba)
I’d retreat to the trees surrounded by green but I need more for my kin and more for my team
I Always danced to a different type beat
off kilter rhythm
check the traces of my feet
but I need more
before I dip out of the scene
For my niggas, for my queens, for the babies, for my rounds, for my sisters missing crowns
homies victims to apathy like
Honey drippin off the table in front of me
Feet say go but my heart still fights for the seed
They buy souls but my soul sent back the deed
Oh why, oh why
You get rich, ima try to get free
Not exclusive mutually But
Oh I…
Gotta find the balance between
(Olu)
Some say life is just a hell and it’s here we dwell until we’re truly truly free.
Some say projects and ghettos and seeds that will never grow are all there is to see.
I’ll stay with you through the night and in the darkest times; we’ll fight through it all until we reach that dawn.
I dream of a world where love is the rule, where hearts walk two by two, and I with you.
I dream of a place where a child’s wish can always come true and the old and withered become renewed.
(Chorus)
I met a man playing in the woods
His piano was off key, he sang to me softly
I bet he wouldn’t change it if he could
Gunshots ringing in my hood, they sound so off beat, I’m praying they don’t off me, I promise I’d change it if I could.
Oh why oh why oh why
Oh why oh why oh why
(Benji. Verse)
I can see the ripple
I can see the changes
Oh my
I can feel reaper
I can hear the angles
Oh I
cross my heart for safety
hope I stay alive
Oh lord
They always called it crazy
it’s really peace of mind
Good gawd
All my life I had to fight
All my life Passing by
All my life I had to write
All my life I had to die
All I had to sacrifice
Blood sweat and tears I paid the price
Starve today for better days tomorrow
Keep my spirits high up
When it rains it pours my ceiling go up
Then they turn to my floor when the game show love
Been counting my blessings my praise go up
Big God my nigga since day one
When the sun go down when the lights go up
Still 10 toes down imma keep mine tucked
imma bang my buck imma play my hand
and I ain’t gon change till I breathe my last
imma use my hands imma play my songs
imma play my rights imma do my dance
in the key of my life Imma sing my wrongs imma be that light imma clap my hands Imma smoke my weed
seed my plants and I lead by faith when I play my jams
and you might think i’m out of tune
but it aint got shit to do with you
Oh my God
(Big Rube)
Your freedom Is beyond anyone outside of yourself’s controlling
It can’t be bought and sold, given away or even stolen
This divine entitlement vital to the nourishment of the soul encourages spiritual growth
To channel the ethereal flow of creations river across the cosmos
It’s blessed osmosis triggering consciousness to focus
In a paradigm ascension transcendent beyond all space time dimensions
Not to mention my pinchent for benediction
Benedicting minds been consistent in my grind of using ever pen and pencil I can find to
Elevate the state of decline That’s dragging my people down so deep
The climb could never be done in a single lifetime
So i write life’s lines, correction my lines write life
Correction my lifelines write up when serving my purpose to write and recite what touches
Excites ignites unites us, so we can finally stop running from FREEDOM, yeah
