Josh Morton Music - For the Record Lyrics

Candles calmly burning
In the darkness before morning
Yet before the table turning
You'll be parting for the journey
And for the record
Its still a crime to be young black entrepreneur minded
Insider out surviving not hurting nobody
Whether not we ask why, we never get to the bottom
Of the age old problem thats common in Deuteronomy
So cops still killing brothers and mothers look to others
To smother a flame burnin forever no love is harder
If common sense never common and voices are getting stronger
Then the futures only getting farther
Another generation influenced by the fornication
Hating, killing, raping, sugar in they tanks, cant take it too far
Everybody comment on raisin a generation
But history just repeatin and we all play a part
And so much time done passed on by
Only God knows why, you alive or daparted
People still takin lives it aint precious f*ck up you die
See from the truth we never been farther
Cuz its hard to find the truth in this world it's all scattered
He warned us Ecclesiastics and matter fact in our actions
We actors and we put on a mask and it's hard to factor in the facts
Cuz the fact of the matter is we ain't askin
Be knowing the truth is hurtin so why put on our backs
We just gotta keep it movin cuz growth is the key to happiness
See rapping is just a path our creativity mastered
They made it hard to make it, but atleast I'll get it started
Nephew and nieces I'll put together these pieces
The puzzle increases size but the difficulty ceases
Over time losses strengthen us we just gotta receive it
Non believers non receivers they influence other heathens
Other people other sheep another bleak seed in a land of misery
But we keep pushin keep goin steep
Is the climb but keep climbing keep sparking the fire
I'll keep it alive and keep flowing harder
Candles calmly burning, candles calmly burning
In the darkness before morning, in the darkness before the morning
Yet before the table turning, before the table was turning
You were parting for the journey, you were parting for the journey
R.I.P to all the fallen youth
R.I.P Dreana, Yvonne
R.I.P Runny E
R.I.P to those who fell at the hands of those who were meant to protect and serve
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm
But ya know what
We got a journey we on
Get on ya feet
Stay on ya feet
Keep Pushin
Keep goin hard
Dont let nothin stop you
YeeaYeeah
