Caged Birdsong Lyrics - Shine Through - Aloe Blacc

Yeah 

S'a few things that I 

I wanna get off my chest 

So I'ma get 'em off 

The drugs the streets the thugs that beat they women 

The hate and the violence the guns the bullets that sent them 

The ice the jewels the fools that's killing to get them 

Or heist with tools strategically placed in their denim 

The corner, the store, the spirits, the wine, the liquor 

The sinning, it's venom, it's making society sicker 

The henny, the 'tron, the dale, the goose, the crown 

The pimps is up, the hoes is usually down 

The kids in the hall that piss in the corner, the rats 

The chicks be watching, the watchers be watching them back 

The fatherless babies, the mothers that live in despair 

The tenement builders with roaches just chilling in there 

The silence is never the sirens be scraping the air 

It kills to ignore it but it doesn't hurt you to care 

It hurts to ignore it but it doesn't kill you to care 

It kills to ignore it but do you 

No 

You have a soul 

And it's worth more than gold 

Worth more than gold 

Hoping you're mine 

Let it unfold 

And you will find 

Treasures untold 

That are worth more than gold

If heaven is a place on earth 

Then there ain't no way a dollar could replace your worth 

I hope you know that you're priceless 

This life gets the point that you feel like 

You could point your steel right to the temple 

It's so simple 

The capitol hill is the capital killers 

Bills passed to bill us back for stamps and keys 

The system is so diseased 

Ain't a vaccine to cure it 

And if your skin like mine, we gonna have to endure it 

Until we can birth a new nation 

Mature it to the level of ancient African civilizations 

Half of us up in this nation 

Now I know about the hoops we share 

Peace to my people who's already there 

It's a family affair, sisters and brothers of one soul 

Before we hit the heavens above, this world gold 

Before we hit the heavens above, this world gold 

Before we hit the heavens, do you 

Know 

You have a soul 

And it's worth more than gold 

Worth more than gold 

Just let me help you 

Carry your load 

Open your heart 

Share what it holds 

'cause it's worth more than gold 

The wait is up now 

I'm throwing it around 

The hate you handing out 

I throw it to the ground 

Too black, too strong for this 

Never thought that I would sit and write a song to this 

But what you expect when a hunger in your stomach so strong 

That when you hear the radio you wanna vomit 

And when you look at the TV your heart plummet 

It shame me to see how they be showing us on it
