I Heard You Had a Voice Like an Angel / Psalm 137
Shad

I heard you had a voice like an angelnI heard a strange talenAbout a saint that fell; music became jailnThese bars, I hear you rapped in 'emnWove in the beats like the clothing of sheepnWolves' tracks, spin 'emnDJ's, CD's, C-notes, nG's thrown on D's with B King like T, I hopenI heard you even sang when you spokenAnd the emotion you evoked got you chokednWhen your beauty struck a vocal chord brokenThrow the stove overboardnLooked upon the ocean, caught your reflection before the Lord'snI heard you had a voice like an angelnStrange though, you were blinded by the lightnShining from your own halonFell off, sorta like a rainbownWhen heaven watched your faint glow fade slownI heard you had a voice like an angelnnI heard that fame's a killer that can murder great princesnLike Kurt Cobain, singin' Purple Rain from a distancenHope home ain't a virtual game, nor this cursed placenEarth, where the dollars and the karma don't circulatenThe world's a stage and you know this play wellnGee, I bet you even know how it ends, pray tellnHad a voice like an angel, now you score the drama scenesnThe comedy's the fact, re-enact what you wanna benHad some old song still stuck in your memorynDistorted, though, so you sort of reassembled melodiesnAnd fine-tuned and turned 'em into single after singlenThen this industry you built, so sinfully simple fornYou to write, 'cause a song is what your life wasnThe destiny of stars is their light must fight dusknFor sparks of brilliance to ignite usnAnd of all the billions of stars, you were by far the brightestnI heard you had a voice like an angelnNow it's just a light hushnnAnd now you keep everybody's eyes on charts and schedulesnAnd the trends, tryna stack gold bars and medals,nThey want vessels, void and darknThe space fools wanna make starsnInstead of music that's smart or specialnBecause art at a level that's real can be harder to peddlenBusiness prefers a market that settlesnFor second rate, kill the true artist, martyr the rebelsnThat's the system and it's straight from the heart of the devilnSee, merchants of dreams sewed the soul's eyes wide shutnPassing the buck to purchase a pass to buy stuffnWorkin' in the circus, get hired upnTo walk over half-knots on a tightrope, tied upnAnd my god, it's a delicate balance, developing talentnInto persons that we worship, yo, it's a hell of a challengenI heard you had a voice like an angelnDon't really sing no more, but you still runnin' the game, sonIf we don't behave like them, they call us crazynAnd if we won't slave for them, they call us lazynLately, I've started to see why you hate menHearing this voice, it must be painfulnTo the ears, when, for years, you had a voice like an angelnnAnd if you don't behave as them, they call you crazynAnd if you won't slave for them they call you lazynWell, I saynThey wanna take your mind, turn it into a prisonnThen lock you inside, then they'll call that livin'nWell, I saynAnd if you don't behave as them, they call you crazynAnd if you won't slave for them they call you lazynWell, I saynThey wanna take your mind, turn it into a prisonnThen lock you inside, then they'll call that livin'nWell, I saynI heard you had a voice like an angelnnThey say, smile for the cameranThey say, smile for the cameranSmile for the cameranWhile we take your childrennSmile for the cameranWhile we rape your womennSmile for the cameranWhile we make our millionsnSmile for the cameranWhile we make our buildingsnSmile for the camera, smile for the cameranThey say, smile for the camera
