The Pen Lyrics

The Pen by Mic Righteous

The Pen Lyrics

Year of Release: 2013
Verse 1
  • Ayo, I used to be a pebble held in the hand of an African.
  • Part of the first tribe that carved artistic patterns on a rock of flint,
  • They grate my solid skin against the cave wall.
  • These are my roots, now your youth use me in play school.
  • I've writ tales, been held by a slave in Israel.
  • Felt the sweat on their palm wetting my thick shell.
  • I've put the pictures on the pyramid,
  • Painted on papyrus with hieroglyphics,
  • I'm what he Egyptians, they wrote the scriptures with.
  • When evolution took place, my ancestors grew wings.
  • Tall white feathers, and you dipped their head in blue ink.
  • I write for Mozart, he held me tight to write music,
  • We produced a beautiful picture of passion that was moving.
  • Deep symphonies, without me, there'd be no history.
  • I'm seen in literacy, I seal the deals, I write the rules,
  • I mean literally your tears are into me.
  • I'm a rappers best friend and I can be your worst enemy.
  • When you sign the deal for devil jam,
  • You done sold your soul to the industry.
  • What you consider a real MC, I give them the ability.
  • Take the words from out their mouth and put it on the paper lyrically.
  • I writ for vivid imagery, ain't no one as sick as me.
  • The missing piece to your rhyme pad.
  • I've been held in Hitler's right hand.
  • His stone cold eyes cried when he wrote Mein Kampf.
  • I've sealed the deal handing over the reign like,
  • Take me in your hand, you have to guide me like a blind man.
  • I wrote the governments' secret book of society,
  • If I could speak I'd expose the truth behind the lies, the fiends.
  • I even know every secret you're keeping in your diary.
  • Your tears are inside of me, so lead the way and write with me.
  • [- From: http://www.elyrics.net -]
  • I'm born in a factory with all of my family,
  • From there we're separated into the hands of humanity.
  • I could be in the bottom of a politicians pocket.
  • The paper is my partner, without him I'm nothing.
  • I've been held by great leaders and freedom fighters and righteous
  • men.
  • The prophet came with the teachings and then I write from right to
  • left.
  • The author of the Qur'an, the holy book of Islam.
  • Before you read it, pour water on your fore-arm.
  • I put the psalms in the Bible.
  • Still I find myself in the hands of a grown man with no plan,
  • Signing a gyro.
  • I cry when I write poems, Microsoft is knocking me.
  • Everybody's got a laptop, what, you forgotten me?
  • I give a poor man property, money to eat properly.
  • You turn your back on me, you win the lottery because of me.
  • I wrote a letter for a kid that never could spell,
  • Who's brothers in the cell, waiting for his letter in jail.
  • I write the will and you inherit the wealth.
  • I write the details for every cheque you get in the mail.
  • I wrote the final words of a man who had nothing, so he deaded
  • himself.
  • Before he done it, he wrote a letter he left on the shelf.
  • The neighbours phoned the council and told them about an
  • unbearable smell, and when the council went in the house, the
  • neighbours went in as well.
  • They found him hanging from the banister, his head had gone pale.
  • They read the letter and it said 'Why didn't anyone help?'
  • I told you, over and over, I ain't mentally well.
  • And I'd rather exist in hell than live in this terrible world.
  • You see me? I writ the tale of a thousand fools.
  • Cause I'm the pen. The worlds most powerful tool.
