Braille - Calculated Risk feat. Mr j medeiros & Manchild
(from the album The IV Editition)
© copyright 2008, Hiphopismusic.com
Do the mathematics, algebra and calculus, I counted the
cost, accounted for the counterfeit, when I encountered it,
stood my ground and the coward quit, cause he’s powerless,
so many challenges exist, calculate the catalyst, cause and
effect, from catastrophic events, we gotta catapult past it,
cast away doubt, it returns sevenfold, tell them "get out",
this is my temple, my house, take control of your body,
reject the venom, yo their bugging out, better grab the
insect repellent, my rebellion, rocking the bells from
Belgium, to Bella Bella to Boston and back to Bellingham,
the mailman playing my role, no more John Stockton, I’m Karl
Malone, slamming it home on microphones, I’m in the zone,
lyrics and poems, flow through my chromosomes and penetrate
domes, I wanna rock right now, come on, I wanna rock right
now, it’s been a long road driven by purpose, and I know, I
know, I know that it’s worth it, I wanna rock right now,
come on, I wanna rock right now, I added it up and I counted
the cost, I understand the risk, I’m gonna carry my cross,
do it like this, do it like this, before you make your move,
do it like this, do it like this, before you make a move,
calculate the risk
Behind the Song:
"Life is filled with risks. We need to the count the cost
and consider the weight of our decisions. There is a lot we
need to give up in order to fully follow Christ. This song
is about being bold – going for what’s right and true
regardless of the risk or cost involved." - Braille
