unconquered - mike (aka mjangles) lyrics
[chorus: mike]
tell me who said it can’t be me
show me where i’m supposed to be
if i can live through the life i lead
i know i’ll get through the sights i see
so go ahead young man
go and clap ya hands
go ahead young man
go and clap ya hands
go ahead young man
go and clap ya hands
go ahead young man
go and clap ya hands
[verse 1: mike]
he a rookie to the bookies but he finna win the race
he a bad muhf*cka you can see it in his face
he a natural*born sprinter try to keep up with the pace
who can get between a winner and the center of the chase
i been tryna get a taste
little nibble of the cake
piece of the pie, do or die, with whatever it take
level the stakes
i stack the odds 3 miles high an i still run through em to the team’s outcry
i started in the gutter
then to prep in the summer
then to a destination with blue blazers and hummers
then to a secondary with billionaires and their brothers
every moment reminded my poverty and my color
because mama said bring the bread and b*tter
never winced nor cried nor stumbled nor stuttered
i lift my voice to the beat of my drummer
commemorating the rise of a legend uncovered
[chorus: mike]
tell me who said it can’t be me
show me where i’m supposed to be
if i can live through the life i lead
i know i’ll get through the sights i see
so go ahead young man
go and clap ya hands
go ahead young man
go and clap ya hands
go ahead young man
go and clap ya hands
go ahead young man
go and clap ya hands
[verse 2: mike]
i remember the shock
remember the pain
preparing so hard only to suffer the same
if only my hard work was the name of the game
i paid the price of being human and facing a change
without a father figure
there’s no role models
but i’m an independent n*gga goin’ full throttle
i had a love lost
but with the memories
i found the sound of my heart that i hold presently
now in maturity, cursed with insecurity
battlin’ temptations of bittersweet impurities
while
fightin’ not to fall prey to the tyranny
that
makes a victim of my loved ones currently
by my ties to the father, to the lover, to the self
the victim and the feelings i can’t help
i face my bonds and the journey ‘gainst the odds on the road to overcomin’ the cards i’m dealt
[chorus: mike]
tell me who said it can’t be me
show me where i’m supposed to be
if i can live through the life i lead
i know i’ll get through the sights i see
so go ahead young man
go and clap ya hands
go ahead young man
go and clap ya hands
go ahead young man
go and clap ya hands
go ahead young man
go and clap ya hands
[verse 3: mike]
alright, first things first i’ll eat the gains
then imma bounce back with new t**th and manes
cuz that’s what a mothaf*ckin’ monster do
i’m a lion in these streets with a lot to chew
if you f*ckin’ with the jangles then you f*ckin’ the best
wanna know how i know that? cuz boy i’m better than the rest
i was made in the east of eden to conquer in the west
just a bona fide bad boy banging on the chest
with a sk!ll
they respect
and a will
to perfect
and a touch
of finesse
that’s a f*ckin’ triple threat
you can’t stop my shine with the light i bring
can’t be touched when i move my wings
if they hate when i do my thing then tell they ass to step up in the ring
i’m sorry but it’s over when you hear the ding ding
a danger to the people when i let that thing swing
the reason that i’m breathing be the reason that i sing
a story to establish the becoming of a king
[chorus: mike]
tell me who said it can’t be me
show me where i’m supposed to be
if i can live through the life i lead
i know i’ll get through the sights i see
so go ahead young man
go and clap ya hands
go ahead young man
go and clap ya hands
go ahead young man
go and clap ya hands
go ahead young man
go and clap ya hands
[verse 4: mike]
i learned about a poem ten summers ago
in preparation to live in it wherever i go
and so far the sentiment is somethin’ to show
from me to you
a way to see the flower of growth
cuz i came
and i saw
them boys didn’t get too far
so cue the flames
and the awe
and let the whole world join in applause
