Marinate - Crucifix for a Mic (feat. Ajani) Lyrics

You know it's a new day and age
People have they own thinking
People have they own things that they into
People have they own religion
Hip-Hop is a religion to a certain extent
And the rappers are the preachers
And the music is the scriptures
It's just like church because you go to a concert
Yo-yo-You raise ya hands in the air
You get dressed up you sing songs
And you definitely pay some money
It's just like church (laughs)

We was sitting down
And chillin
Homeboy said what's up
And I said the cost of living
We jumped on a boat
They say don't drop out
Slavery was the option
When the boat docked down
Then that bondage be that
College tuition
What I am wishing is that
It matched the budget of the pot I piss in
Tell me what am I missing
Is it vision
Or is it ambition
Cause I'm lifted
You see
In order to achieve
One must believe
To make ya fantasies
The reality you perceive uh
Shadow the best
Never shadow the less
Unless you tryna surpass
The valley of death of the shadow of death
See ya future
Stick ya fist in it
Ya imprint
Speak it into Exist-ten-nence
Too much soul
In a world too cold
They say ya spirit to old
They wanna see you fold
I'm that Black boy
That they really enjoy
I'm also that boy
That they wanna destroy
They don't wanna see ya boy employed
But we don't need no ploy
Cause yo soy
The REAL MCOY ey
Music ain't my purpose
It's my platform
Tryna get a few plaques
So then clap for him
Young man with
His head in his clouds
Tryna reach my goals
So I can't land now

See I don't know what
You've been missing man
They say speak what you want into
Exist-ten-nence
See I'm searching for sure
I don't know if I'll find
But if I pray to the lord
Than I know that it's mine
See I don't know what
You've been missing man
They say speak what you want into
Exist-ten-nence
See I'm searching for sure
I don't know if I'll find
But if I pray to the lord
Than I know that it's mine

The arrival of the magnetic
Spittin #34 over the track like it was athletic
Came into the gun fight
With no rifle
Just a pen and the spirit within of Michael
Everytime I step to a mic it's like a bible
Get a couple wins like mike would be my final
Wishes before my maker comes and pull a caper
Turn my physical being to them thangs out the saber
Cause we really gotta come together
I'm sick of seeing this love thrown in a shredder
It's a mess cause in the end all we got is us
And if not us then who what can you trust
But these conflicts make it harder for you and me
Seeing iris to iris no possibility
So I seek the papyrus where I'm really free
Eliminate the virus over these beats
With the touch of midus maybe then you'll see
I spit sick like Titus spitting past 16
The reborn Osiris so immortal we be
Amongst the sirens sending us 6 feet deep
Cause there's too many of us
Jumping into these graves
So put ya flashlights on
We getting out of this cave

See I don't know what
You've been missing man
They say speak what you want into
Exist-ten-nence
See I'm searching for sure
I don't know if I'll find
But if I pray to the lord
Than I know that it's mine
See I don't know what
You've been missing man
They say speak what you want into
Exist-ten-nence
See I'm searching for sure
I don't know if I'll find
But if I pray to the lord
Than I know that it's mine

See I know that it's mine
Yea and one day that I'll find
Ooh and I know that it's mind
Just gotta reach out and climb
I been minding my mind
And finessing my time
So that I'm never behind
Yea one day one day
Ya boy he goin' be ahead of the line

Oh
Shoutout Ajani
Ya boy Marinate on the track
