Navy Blue In Good Hands
[Verse 1: Navy Blue]
[?] dry grapes [?] simmer down
[?] wore a [?], I wore a crown, sky bound
Heaven and earth, my brother wore a shroud
Kept all my blessings in a pile
Michael's still deceased and my father in denial
Who gon' hold me down? Who gon' hold me up?
[?] I had to squint to see the truth
Lost within the crowd, it was close to dusk
When I [?] our shoulders touch
[?]
My father say the life I live with righteousness [?] my rising is
Eyesight, my horizon is all kind of red
Still Navy Blue, door swing close, know it's you
Watching over me, we the only two sons that he had
Try to live within the moment, not within the past
Sad you'll never know because to grow me must surpass
All the hatred they disguise while the pain never lasting
Good riddance of my past friends
Who could never bear the burden of a black man
Now I know why I'm nervous 'round these anglo saxons
[?] 'round my neck, got my dad's hands
[
[Refrain]: Navy Blue]
I'm in good hands
I'm in good hands
Word to Mac, I'm in good hands, good hands
I'm in good hands
I'm in good hands
I'm in good hands
Pops got his hands washed, I'm in good hands
I'm in good hands, yeah
I'm in good hands
I'm in good hands, I'm in good hands, yeah
I'm in good hands, I'm in good hands
I'm in good hands, yeah
[Verse 2: Ka]
Tried the stove top to hop off the old block
[?] didn't save me
[?] when I showered his gifts for the baby
Gears of war years before I listed with Navy
Too many struggling loved ones to ever sit in Mercedes
From that population we spreading loves obligation
For [?] my hood ran like a siren nation within D-Days
Planes dropped off 'cane to freeways
Them pounds made battlegrounds [?]
For economy many fought
Days in the street disastrous
Ironically many bought the Jesus piece or the lazareth
Even friends in a frenzy but can't [?]
[?] supreme but can't savage this
They said the common thread with our enemies
Is we was all men in need with no amenities
Couldn't sit in peace, we each hit the streets for remedies
Through the hatred accumulate [?] we were sending [?]
The stress of empty pantries kept us antzy
[?] essentially in a shanty
Could give scripture but the big picture is what you can't see
Every grain I spelt is what helped enhance me
Went from gun waving to saving lives
I give sight to the blind just for the 85
That's what I was on the line of scrimmage
Lost some folks of course, [?] we define percentage
Doomed in the womb, surprised I ain't see a hanger
Start questioning affection when all you see is anger
But now I'm in good hands
Surrounded by good women, good babies, good mens
Hey I'm in good hands
Surrounded by good women, good babies, good men
[Outro]
I'm in good hands
I'm in good hands
