Gratitude
D'rok THE menace Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think we found the secret
Are we about to share it though
I know we about to mix it
We some chemist
Get it in like a petri dish
I'm on like a nose in the winter
And I'm about to meditate on the race that we winning
On like a nose in the winter

And I'm about to meditate on the race that we winning
They try and make it illegal to spread all this free to the people
So I yell it out loud to try and wake all you sheeples up
That dark grey matter incrusted in all this melanin
I'm trying to bring it to the light
I'm trying to let that spirit in so

Please Please play my beat again
Every time it play I start to heal again
Please Please play my beat again
Every time it play I start to heal again
Please Please play my beat again
Every time it play I start to heal again
I start to heal again

I wrote this whole song on acid
And I bet you it's about to be a classic
Man this shaman life so fantastic
Man a moor skin just like magic
Man a moor skin glitter like gold
I recommend you shine more light to
Illuminate them paths you choose to
Travel down just down
Travel down just down
Travel down just down
Recommend you shine more light to
Illuminate them paths you choose to
Travel down just down
Travel down just down
Travel down just down
Travel down just down

Please Please play my beat again
Every time it play I start to heal again
Please Please play my beat again
Every time it play I start to heal again
Please Please play my beat again

Every time it play I start to heal again
I start to heal again
