Brother Ali - Daylight Lyrics
My friend, give me a minute hereYou have no idea how to frame me"Brother Ali is this, Brother Ali is that"You ain't been right yetSo ok I'll do it myselfAnt, you got me?(Verse 1:)Big Brother the beast I'm showing my teethFeel it all in the air it's too potent to breatheExplosive with the free, got a heavy one I wrote up my sleeveI could post up or go for the threeVersatile with it I'm grinding until I get itMindless of the defined limits or consequencesI defy critics I ain't scientificI find my intrinsic vibe and I ride with itVocals no nothing other than soul touchingSo if they land in yours it's just a home-comingIf they don't go there they might perishLand on deaf ears but die unembarassedYou don't need to hear my race in the songYou hear the plane that I'm onYour whole face change when I'm onYour ears might help you see***** hearing me I need you to feel like me(Chorus: x2)DaylightLet the dark side slide right on out youDon't deny it announce it to the DaylightLet it get inside of you 'cause you're not aliveuntil you open up your eyes(Verse 2:)I never asked my brothers to put that crown on meNow they want to frown on me, look down on mePardon me I don't think I'm hurting anybodyJust because I took shahadah but I'm cursing at the partyAin't showing I'm holy just showing the whole meYa'll just pretend to be whatever your role beDon't get me wrong preist and rabbi innambut maybe that's why the masses don't respondCan't sit and nit pick but miss the big shitExpect us not to see the contradictionsWant us to listen and join your religionI ain't got a pot to piss in who ya'll kiddingI believe in the Qu'ran and all that's within itThe concepts and all of the prophets that are mentionedBut I talk directly to God so if I'm sinningya'll ain't got nothing to do with me repenting(Chorus x2)(Verse 3:)If I'm an open book this is how I'm supposed to lookI got to show it all and don't be shookSo they ask me if I'm black or white, I'm neitherRace is a made up thing I don't believe in itMy genes tie me to those that despised meMade a living killing the ones that inspired meI ain't just talking about singing and dancingI was taught life and manhood by black menSo I'm a product of that understandingAnd a small part of me feels like I am themDoes that make me a liar maybebut I don't want the white folks that praise me to think they can claim me'Cause you didn't make meYou don't appreciate what I know to be great yet you relate to meand that frustrates me and what can I say'cause I know that I benefit from something I hateBut make no mistake our connection ain't fakeIt's never too late to clear off the slateYou follow my tape then you know What I'm aboutIf something comes up then it must come out(Chorus x2)
