Alica Keys And Kanye West - Dope Lyrics
That’s Dope, by Angela K BrownD o p e, D o p e, D o p e, that's dopeKeep it on the down low, its dopeWe all have problems, the dope we hideWe Cry, we keep our true feelingsBottled up inside. We fail to reasonTo understand why. A penny forYour thoughts? When troubleArrives, to know the ***** truthWe learn to lean on to OriginsOur palms itch with greed, painted facesNurturing relationships of sexualityLean on to the relationships that bond usAnd gravitated us. We lean to someoneTo listen. lean on, to hear. The light I am inThat one empty chair, thoughts suicideMemories of the moment, and thatOne blank stare. It was the look of regretThe darkness of sin. My conscious regretCame back at me; Of who I amMy blackness, my pride andMy point of view; the affirmation of myRoots. From the company we keep, theUncertainty of truth. I became openAbout my spirituality, to reveal the natureOf my ethnicity, to abandon my rootsOf my cultural identity with regret ofLosing my sexuality outside the creed of publicScrutiny. It’s the culture we’re in. We are whatWe Eat. Fried fish and cole slaw, collard greensAnd hot water corn bread and spaghetti. WeAsked God’s mercy for the family tradition. ItIs from the love personality and forgivenessThat transitions. Rough times of makingDifficult decisions, a beacon of hopeDefining our position. I’ll meet you half wayUpon making a decision, my hommieLet's keep it down low. That’s dopeKeepen it real on the down lowLean on lean on lean on me
