Take A Knee

Take a knee my nigga
Take a knee
Take a knee my nigga
Take a knee

[Verse 1: Saint Cassius]
You know it’s really been a crazy year so
Our worst scenarios realized live in stereo
If we get stopped by some cops well it’s a miracle if we ain’t shot
They putting holes threw out people like Cheerios
I mean the killings seem (serial) cereal
But by the grace of God we’re still here so here we go
You know the system is a joke as far as hearings go
But no lie I’m less hero and more Harry O
Yall don’t hear me
My grandfather was a teacher who taught me how to be a leader
For the people who need one
So please don’t pollute us with your averages
Before 21 they called out people Savages
And I ain’t saying you should just stand quiet and useless
But I can’t condone all the riots and looting
So bottom line is I ain’t got the answers
But chance is the next time I’m present for the national anthem I’ll

[Chorus: Saint Cassius]
Take a knee my nigga
Take a knee
Take a knee my nigga
Take a knee

Yeah just take a knee my nigga
Take a nigga
Take a knee my nigga

Supposedly we’re all free
Take a knee my nigga
Take a knee

Take a knee my nigga
Take a knee
Take a knee my nigga
Take a knee

Yeah just take a knee my nigga
Take a nigga
Take a knee my nigga

[Verse 2: Saint Cassius]
Mister friendly well dressed like Mr. Bentley
Quick to leave a hater green with envy
Even married women tried to tempt me
I picked up a few
But when you’re young and rich
What’s a real nigga to do
And it ain’t like I ain't know no better
I had monogamy in my home forever
I was just into hoes rich hoes broke hoes whatever
As long as they had their fingernails and toes together I’d smash ‘em
Yeah I had a passion to blowing their backs out and stroking them back in
My OG told me yeah you might be a fiend
But no pussy will ever get yo ass as high as a queen
And Not even in my wildest dreams
Could I ever forseen it feel this good being apart of a team
So I’m hopeful that one day you’ll find somebody who truly knows you and make a proposal

[Chorus: Saint Cassius]
Take a knee my nigga
Take a knee
Take a knee my nigga
Take a knee

Yeah just take a knee my nigga
Take a nigga
Take a knee my nigga

Take a knee my nigga
Take a knee
Take a knee my nigga
Take a knee

Yeah just take a knee my nigga
Take a nigga
Take a knee my nigga

[Outro]
It’s so spiritual
Searching for a miracle
Something metaphysical
To save our (simple souls)
As individuals
We’re imperial
We all been (here before)
But you don’t hear me tho

Yeahhhhhh

What was once considered a victory formation
Has know become a much more important statement
I just want to continue to ensue
A greater conversation for pure engagement
Cause I’ll take a hug over a double tap and your love over a like
You see for in our darkest our is when we need the brightest light
