Picket Fence - Brother Ali[00:00:01]

I was up and out my mothers house at 17[00:00:16]

Been a grown ass married man ever since[00:00:19]

Family reunions I'm talked about but never seen[00:00:21]

Cause I learned that some of them[00:00:25]

Can be your nemesis[00:00:25]

Got a lot of scars on me[00:00:27]

I'll now tell you the stories[00:00:29]

If you promise not to take offense[00:00:30]

Homie sit back then hand bring the beat in[00:00:33]

I'll try to find a place[00:00:36]

That starts to make sense now[00:00:37]

The first time I was pushed out blind[00:00:39]

Cold and naked spanked on the ass to breathe[00:00:42]

An immigrant from heaven on earth[00:00:44]

With a word piece[00:00:46]

I announce my self with gasps and screams[00:00:47]

Before black and white[00:00:50]

Supremacy heighted my innocence[00:00:51]

I was living out life behind the picket fence[00:00:54]

Happy go lucky scared of no one[00:00:56]

With the only exception I'm allergic to the sun[00:00:59]

Didn't know I had a image[00:01:02]

That a camera couldn't capture[00:01:03]

100 on mars manufacture[00:01:05]

But then came the laughter and outside I'm battered[00:01:07]

Picket fence shattered[00:01:10]

I saw my self as bastard tagalong harassed and spat upon[00:01:12]

By the children of slave masters who passed it on[00:01:16]

The saddest songs been sung at the hands of[00:01:19]

Who I call the race from hell[00:01:21]

Its a disgrace from hell[00:01:23]

Fell face first in the self hate[00:01:25]

Burst into tears when I hear my own hellish name cursed[00:01:27]

If I seem timid its only because every mirror[00:01:30]

That I saw back then had the[00:01:32]

Earths ugliest human being in it[00:01:34]

And with that said they would kick me till[00:01:37]

They got tired or I act dead[00:01:40]

And I have to tell ya'll that the obvious part[00:01:41]

That I always feel free when I'm talking to god[00:01:44]

Alone on the playground friday afternoon[00:01:47]

And the old sister who hums gospel toons[00:01:50]

I saw her notice getting closer[00:01:53]

She approached me[00:01:56]

And put a knowing hand on my shoulder[00:01:57]

And booked my feelings[00:01:59]

Cause she looked at me in a way[00:02:00]

That adults very seldom look at children[00:02:02]

And with the wisdom only earned by years[00:02:05]

She read my thoughts and[00:02:07]

She welled up with tears and said[00:02:09]

You look the way you do because you're special[00:02:10]

Not the short bus way I mean[00:02:13]

That god's gonna test you[00:02:14]

And all of this pain is training for the day when you[00:02:16]

Will have to lead with the gift god gave to you[00:02:19]

Grown folks don't see it but the babies do[00:02:22]

And there's a chance that you can save a few[00:02:25]

And time will prove that she started my movement[00:02:27]

She didn't tell me to take it she told me to use it[00:02:30]

The second time poppa ripped the womb open early[00:02:45]

And exposed me to the coldness life prematurely[00:02:47]

Where mom's love used to live now housed denial[00:02:50]

And when that decayed it made it bitter and spiteful[00:02:53]

But me and my runaway we share something special[00:02:56]

Rode into the sunset can barely can tough the pedals[00:02:59]

No strings attached screaming f**k geppetto[00:03:02]

We may live in the gutter but we cling to each other[00:03:04]

A week before my son came I caught a bad bounce[00:03:07]

And had to step to mom with my hands out[00:03:10]

And momma proved the two of us could not live in that house[00:03:13]

She lied to the police so they would throw us in the streets[00:03:16]

And separating from you is something that I feel I must do[00:03:19]

Its not that I don't love you its more that I don't trust you[00:03:22]

Its been a year since I've seen a living relative[00:03:24]

And it's just now that I'm starting to live[00:03:27]

But while I'm sitting here choking on tears wishing that I didn't care[00:03:30]

Feeling all alone in this hemisphere I swear upon everything I hold dear[00:03:33]

And then my wife comes near and I hear a voice whisper in my ear[00:03:38]

You're going through all of this because you're special[00:03:42]

Not no superstar shit I mean that god had to test you[00:03:44]

And all of this pain has been training for the day when you[00:03:47]

Would lead us with the gift god gave to you[00:03:50]

Your parents might not see it but your babies do[00:03:53]

And there's a chance that you can save a few[00:03:56]

And time will prove that she started my movement[00:03:59]

She didn't tell me to take it she told me to use it[00:04:02]

So I use it[00:04:06]
