guardian angel
Singer: coco jones
they say i'm young
but my purpose is the inspiration of a nation innovation
til i change the talk into a conversation
i'm like a doctor and my patients are anxiously waiting
healing all the hating
that faking in the paper chasin'
it's hard to live up to these expectations that i'm facing
and gain the admiration of an older generation
that's why i'm pacing back and forth contemplating
meditating how to use what i've been taught as a positive force
oh!
this is who i am
i wish you'd understand
it's time to set me free
my guardian angel
no!
no matter what i do
i'm still a part of you
i hope you'll always be
my guardian angel
i wanna be the greatest in the world
not for the money or the fame or the girls
not for the car keys
or the jetskis or the vacations to the west indies
but simply 'cause i love it
when i write i'm like a puppeteer
pullin' my strings till the melody sings
and the honesty makes me spread my wings
just calling me out was out your mind
send that thought back down your spine
i'm on the grind
it's all on the line
both signs say both ways at the same time
most days i can't wait to rhyme
express my stress
elevate and shine
progress
regress
each step's a climb
so i take that test and i testify
oh!
this is who i am
i wish you'd understand
it's time to set me free
my guardian angel
no!
no matter what i do
i'm still a part of you
i hope you'll always be
my guardian angel
i feel so misunderstood
'cause my intentions were good
if you could only see that poetry can hide in the hood
the passion in philosophy of possibilities
every dream is in my reach
i'll find my freedom in this beat
follow me now
it's a whole new ground
swallow your pride i'll make you proud
all of my life i've lived out loud
we just preach to different crowds
oh!
this is who i am
i wish you'd understand
it's time to set me free
my guardian angel
oh!
this is who i am
i wish you'd understand
it's time to set me free
my guardian angel
no!
no matter what i do
i'm still a part of you
i hope you'll always be
my guardian angel
