Angel Wing By: SideStreet KED From The Forthcoming Project "The Push Button Future" By: SideStreet KED
Dedicated to the memory of Nelson Mandela
lyrics
I am not Drake,
I just let the money spend.
I be out with Cool Breeze,
Blowing smoke into the wind.
The city named me SideStreet,
my momma named me KED
so, I live life to the fullest
no fear no regrets.
I live it on the edge,
I done seen the outer limits.
I went outside the lines,
brought color to the negative.
Now, I got a new outlook
on the regular.
This is for Street Survivors,
Sort of like Lynnard Skynnard
that push on thru the night
Sort of like Def Leopard.
This is for Baby Mommas,
that's looking for something better,
that shuffle through junk mail,
looking for jail letters.
This is for family members
with time in Correctional Centers.
This is for Mumia
& all the Political Prisoners.
This is for Foster Kids
that harbor a little resentment
cuz even tho the light looks cloudy when dreary,
The Sun'll still shine so that we can see clearly…
You know I would,
if I could,
I'd give you everything,
I'd give you my everything.
I'd make all your dreams,
become a reality,
I'd give you whatever,
the feathers off of an Angel Wing,
You know I would.
This is my native tongue.
This is my native language.
I'm fluent in broken slang,
are you speaking my language?
This is for single mothers
just trying to survive
& this is for fallen vets
& all they take pride in.
I am not a Soldier
boy, I form no alliance.
I am not a Soldier,
a soldier's a sold die'r.
This is for the unemployed
that can't get hired.
This is for the uneducated,
I hope it inspires.
This is for homeless kids,
to offer a little guidance,
to give'm that extra push,
to reach a little bit higher.
This is for battered women
that feel they don't matter much,
that live with some vicious nut
& deal with the mistrust,
That feel like they pent up
& love with they fists up…
Love hurts but,
it shouldn't bust lips.
'Cuz even tho the light looks cloudy when dreary,
The Sun'll still shine so that we can see clearly…
You know I would,
if I could,
I'd give you everything,
I'd give you my everything.
I'd make all your dreams,
become a reality,
I'd give you whatever,
the feathers off of an Angel Wing,
You know I would.
