[Verse 1: Tiye Phoenix]
I knew the day that Nipsey made his transition
You could feel the world change, the planet was shifting
We gotta stand on our convictions, the plan is upliftment
Time to raise up the conditions and standards of living
Where all my sisters? Black, brown, and my tan women
World's in your hands, let the brothers know you stand with ‘em
Channel my visions, my intuition razor-sharp
I keep a faithful heart, everybody plays a part
Precise predictions, you thought I write for The Simpsons
My spirit climbing from ascension, I’m finding redemption
The whole world is declining, refinement is missing
Big Pharma want us dying from buying prescriptions
I didn't come to be a martyr, just came to reach
Farther in memories of souls like Kalief Browder
Keep my eyes wide, keep my heart pure
You ain't never gotta question what I do it for
[Hook: Tiye Phoenix]
So real (So real!)
Speaking from my soul (Soul). People, let me know: do you feel
(Do you feel?) Every word that I’m saying? (What I'm saying)
Put your hands up and wave ‘em
(Put ‘em up, put ‘em up!) It's so real (So real!)
Speaking from my soul. If you feel me, let me know (Let me know, let me know!)
Oh!
[Verse 2: Tiye Phoenix]
Eye on the sparrow, eye on the prize, eye of the tiger
Tiye is a writer, inspire, a fire ignite her
Speaking real hot nine or cold bars
No cash, please pay me in gold bars
The truth is I was born knowing it's ongoing
How you can't see the Devil when his horns showing?
That's why I keep the mind prolific, wisdom and guidance
Alkaline from acidic, we're switching the diet
Left Eye was a beast dropping knowledge crazy
In the 90s, putting niggas onto Dr. Sebi
People begging out lately, “Please come and save me”
But there's information everywhere, these niggas lazy
I’m high as a skyscraper with eighty floors
Been making accurate predictions since the age of four
My intel comes direct from the greatest source
So I don’t stress viruses and staged race wars
[Hook: Tiye Phoenix]
So real (So real!)
Speaking from my soul (Soul). People, let me know: do you feel
(Do you feel?) Every word that I'm saying? (What I’m saying)
Put your hands up and wave ‘em
(Wave ‘em!) It's so real (So real!)
Speaking from my soul. If you feel me, let me know (Let me know, let me know!)
Oh!
[Verse 3: Tiye Phoenix]
Don't even ask or harass like, “Wear your mask”
No, where my reparations, bitch? Run my cash
I'm charging interest on ‘em, yeah, I need a fatter stash
Then the price getting padded with the added tax
Nothing that I can’t do? That's ancient news
Copying my steps? I suggest you change shoes
Predictably strange, look at how these lames move
Try to blemish up my name, but it's stain-proof
This is brain food—peep the way I write a sentence
Information to balance the left and right hemis-
-phere, no fear of no COVID, the game is corroded
My mental imploded from all the science I decoded
We will never be the same, changed forever
Etched deep inside the brain like engraved letters
No safe haven for oppressors, so save the conjecture
Our Lives Matter now ‘cause they came from the pressure
[Hook: Tiye Phoenix]
So real (So real!)
Speaking from my soul (Soul). People, let me know: do you feel
(Do you feel?) Every word that I'm saying? (What I'm saying)
Put your hands up and wave ‘em
(Put ‘em up!) It's so real (So real!)
Speaking from my soul. If you feel me, let me know (Let me know, let me know!)
Oh!
