Who Tells Your Story Lyrics - Ingrid Michaelson

Will they tell your story? 

This is the story of a 

Who lives who dies who tells your story 

(Da-da-da-dum da-da-da-dum da-da-da-dum) 

This is the story of a 

Who lives who dies who tells your story 

My mind flashes, I see the asses of the masters 

Who test the masses, I ask if I'll ever be one 

When I die, will heaven be done? 

What will my legend become? 

I will forever be young 

Through old tales of breakdancing down at [Odell's?] 

Streets named after me is where my soul dwells 

Desires of a church choir, Trinity United 

I think of good memories that Hennessy provided

Memories divided by perception 

Will it be water for chocolate or resurrection? 

The path to perfection is rarely achieved 

I head in that direction, I dream and believe 

An underground dude that overachieve 

From the windy city I was blowing they eaves 

Somewhere along the way I aired out MCs 

(Who lives who dies who tells your story) 

But to stand out some days you may freeze 

Degrees 

Who lives 

And who dies 

Who holds on to all our lives 

Time and time and time again 

Will they tell your story in the end 

(Who lives who dies who tells your story?) 

Photos 

Yo, the anticipation arose as time froze 

The black men in the morgue were John Does 

Lynched for whistling at blond-oes 

I said a prayer with my eyes closed 

As I loaded the [Roscoe's?] at the sink, yo 

I been a bullet on the brink 

But being a young king 

Probably different than you think, though 

The quills that I dip into the ink go to document 

And you'll remember me when I'm extinct 

Yo, sing the carol at a young pharaoh 

Who slew Leviathan with one arrow 

As I revolve through the gun barrel just to watch it unravel 

I tell them have heart, must travel 

Keep my legacy alive even if I don't survive 'til the curtain call 

First of all, realize what we working towards 

Fuck around, find what we searching for 

(Who lives who dies who tells your story?) 

The earth, my name written in cursive on 

Who lives 

And who dies 

Who holds on to all our lives 

Time and time and time again 

Will they tell your story in the end 

(Who lives who dies who tells your story?) 

Who lives 

And who dies 

Who holds on to our lives? 

Time and time and time again 

Will they tell your story in the end? 

(Who lives who dies who tells your story?) 

Frozen in time, I can't let it go 

Nat Cole, Unforgettable 

The pedestal I'm on, I'mma end up on the Federal 

Reserve note your money with a hip hop quote 

I might change legislation with some shit that I wrote 

From boats that we came on to lights with our name on 

Through hard times, we spark minds to keep the flame on 

I write hard rhymes like I'm running out of time 

Truthfully, my stop watch is one with the divine 

Centuries from now, they'll play my freestyle 

And say, this is the brilliance of a Black American child 

Endowed by the streets, and [the Chi?] proud 

Known to move in silence, but can be loud 

The noise of beat girls and boys 

Building to destroy the perception of urban aggression 

My life is [?], set a course for the oppressors 

A chorus, my story is the glory of the lord 

Who lives (who lives) 

And who dies (who dies) 

Who holds on to all our lives? 

Time and time and time again 

Will they tell your story in the end? 

(Who lives who dies who tells your story?)
