Inside

My tears just can’t stay on the inside You might swallowyour fears and your prayers but I sing mine I knowmy tears just can’t stay on the inside You might swallowyour fears and your prayers but Ain’t nobody not humming nothing You ain’t never been in love If you never walked around beat-boxing something You ain’t alive without your blood pumping Made a woman roll her eyes and moan and humming What then? When the symphony is cracking The sympathy’s active But when the rhythm gets to smacking We’re physically matching Channeling the Ethiopians up in the masjid Aisha on The Messenger’s shoulders maxing Thе pulpit he built for Hassan Bin Thabit I heard your opinion but I wasn’t asking And you werеn’t in the building when I was attracted Or when the captive sang Swing Low Sweet Chariot And it actually happened Or witnessing the children of slave masters give shahada In the arms of Elijah Muhammad’s great grandson After listening to this rapper My tears just can’t stay on the inside You might swallowyour fears and your prayers but I sing mine I knowmy tears just can’t stay on the inside You might swallowyour fears and your prayers but I sing mine
