Chorus:
You keep sending me angles
Here they come a flyin'
You keep sending me angels
To keep me from cryin'
You keep sending me angels
Sweet and true
You keep sending me angels
Just like you
Verse 1:
Yeah, These niggas selfish in my village - but I made it thru the slums
And for what? To know they hate me - No one makes it where I'm from
Just a Quest Called Tribe - with my eyes wide open
Few with divine focus - who try then died hopeless
Survived - to make a difference - no matter who is indifferent,
A better livin’ - type of place to raise kids in
And that alone could pay these dividends - so I get it
I just make the team better, - like Jordan made Pippen
Lord Willing, - to see this keep me humble and hungry
And some days it aint sunny - but it ain’t so hard -
I mean, School was my hustle - was just Kidz In the Hall
It's what you learn from The Roots - when Things Fall Apart
Who gon ride wit us - and side kick it - as my witness
And for 5 minutes, I'll get high, defy limits
No lie - my shine glistens - so I know that I've sowed what I'm reepin'
Shyt is different today - the feeling is fleeting
Chorus:
You keep sending me angles
Here they come a flyin'
You keep sending me angels
To keep me from cryin'
You keep sending me angels
Sweet and true
You keep sending me angels
Just like you
Verse 2:
I'll tell 'em - you gotta pay for this -
And I remember when I use to pray for this
I mean poor righteous teacher - I just read between the .....
In my mind - nothin' can stop me – I could probably lead the blind
Old heads - I pay homage - share the knowledge with my peers,
And then I pray for these kids - who grew up like I did
So yea, some people listen and they notice every line
I wish I could have that moment for life
But I'm alright - because I -
Could tell the growth - to sell my soul could be a risk
Or be dope but don't exist - Out of sight, out of mind
Think as long as they breakin ' bread - I'll never step outta line
I'll feel like I am entitled - I am free, I'm alive
So I gotta rise up - I'm up, I'm tough, won't divide us
When I get the tribe up - when they line up -
Give em signs cuz my niggas willin' to die for -
Keep the eyes up - Til times up on my grind -
So I get fi(re)'d up - win or lose - refuse to keep it tied up
Whatever it takes to remind us - What we need is still inside us and they
Chorus:
You keep sending me angles
Here they come a flyin'
You keep sending me angels
To keep me from cryin'
You keep sending me angels
Sweet and true
You keep sending me angels
Just like you
And for what, to know they hate me, No one makes it where I'm from
And pray for these kids - who grew up like I did
Poor righteous teacher - I just read between the lines
Thank the Lord for my kids even if nobody else want em
Chorus:
You keep sending me angles
Here they come a flyin'
You keep sending me angels
To keep me from cryin'
You keep sending me angels
Sweet and true
You keep sending me angels
Just like you
