lyrics

Tortured -By: Professor Griff

pre-lude
My story needs to be told and i'm going to tell it

verse 1
Looking back on this life of mine
Instead of wasting time
Spent time to refined my mind
One meal a day, 5 times we pray
Read fanon, Garvey, Malcolm Dubois and Che

Hook
Living in the days of the tortured
Im getting out of here.
Living in the days of the tortured
Most people think other people will die
Living in the days of the tortured
Im getting out of here.
Living in the days of the tortured
How do we separate the liar from the lie

2nd Verse:
I meditate and thought
all I've been taught, lies about my people
Damn we some sheepole
So I Became a fruit, from jeans to suits
bow ties are fly, man I slung bean pies.
family reunion, I'm gone teach while they grooving, none was moving to this shit i was proven
Headed the call, sold the final call
began to tell all, Fard can save of us all

Fuck outta here with that black shit
That muslims Trip,Slave Ships
no pork on the fork shit.

A 5%, said that he was God body
Wait no man can be God, try me
Stayed calm, Gave my salaams
Packed up the Bible, open holy Quran
Mom being a Christian, it was always some friction, white Jesus conviction, Spiritual vs Religion

Hook
Living in the days of the tortured
Im getting out of here.
Living in the days of the tortured
Most people think other people will die
Living in the days of the tortured
Im getting out of here.
Living in the days of the tortured
How do we separate the liar from the lie

3rd Verse:
One day this witness, Came to the door With watchtower, Awakes
Can I come in sure
Wipe your feet,We Proceed to speak Starting telling me shit
like Jesus was greek
No if he existed, his description would fitted A look like you and I, your damn lie
So he left, all out breath
Back to the hall, then I got the phone call

phone rings {female rapper voice}
Sorry griff I’m calling it quits
You dissed my brother. Man you a trip
Hold up, Yo hold up miss.

Hook
Living in the days of the tortured
Im getting out of here.
Living in the days of the tortured
Most people think other people will die
Living in the days of the tortured
Im getting out of here.
Living in the days of the tortured
How do we separate the liars from the lie

Bridge
Figures don’t lie, but lies do figure, Lies never cry but, lies pull triggers

4th Verse:
Kinda glad, sad but even mad
Waiting to spit this shit since the death of my comrades, Cynical Sinister systems, blame the victims
Never mind my twisted diction, charge sedition Wanna help stop bitchin pitch in Pass the ammo, Put yo clip in
Vocal cords itchin, Finger trigger tripping
False idols in yo system, doomsday predictions

Hook
Living in the days of the tortured
Im getting out of here.
Living in the days of the tortured
Most people think other people will die
Living in the days of the tortured


Outro: kwamé Turé ( Stokely Carmichael)
