Tell It
B-Doe Lyrics
Ocean ghosts call out
Alluvial bodies reshaped by water
I see myself in their reflection
Wandering through history
With the weight of the world
Like motherless children
Sinking
Sinking
Sinking
Howling at the moon
When it rains, the clouds never expect it
But wind blows in the market place
The air tastes queer
Wish it would force me back over the ocean.
But instead, I bow and scrape
Pressing together my cracked lips
Like a child weaned too soon.
They stopped my tongue
Took away my children
I wet-nursed white babes
Cried and cried
And cut out my eyes
Storms are raging
Clouds of flesh are black & blue
I'll make my coffee with a kick
Light on the cream
Heavy on the arsenic
I clench my fist
At the bleeding moon
Ragged in the rain
Leaves falling to a deadline
Spinning circles
Of quiet death
I kneel down to watch it arrive
Alluvial bodies reshaped by water
I see myself in their reflection
Wandering through history
With the weight of the world
Like motherless children
Sinking
Sinking
Sinking
Howling at the moon
But wind blows in the market place
The air tastes queer
Wish it would force me back over the ocean.
But instead, I bow and scrape
Pressing together my cracked lips
Like a child weaned too soon.
They stopped my tongue
Took away my children
I wet-nursed white babes
Cried and cried
And cut out my eyes
Storms are raging
Clouds of flesh are black & blue
I'll make my coffee with a kick
Light on the cream
Heavy on the arsenic
I clench my fist
At the bleeding moon
Ragged in the rain
Leaves falling to a deadline
Spinning circles
Of quiet death
I kneel down to watch it arrive

DOPE SONG! DOPE LYRICS! AMAZING FLOW! The multi syllable schemes are on point. and if you listen closely to the lyrics, he's letting the game know that not only is he preaching the gospel, but challenging the secular market on the content and meaninglessness of their music. It's time for good quality rap music with substance to be brought to the game. so for all of you who say "he's not preaching the gospel" or "we need gospel rap", have a seat and get over yourselves. this song is CLEARLY evangelistic and a building block to the kingdom. think outside the box for a change. #Tellit #BDoe

To all who are questioning B-Doe's sincerity as a Christian rapper or his skills as a lyricist should go to rapzilla's soundcloud page and listen to his entire Crescendo project. As a whole it's on point.

B-Doe has BARZ it's just he comes from the battle rapping arena and it shows in his delivery. #KeepGrindingBro!

Just had to comment again...having listened to all of it. What is everyone talkin' about on here?? Unless you don't understand English or don't understand play on words to get a point across, I don't know what you're missing here! Great job, B-Doe! Keep it up!
