The Pen Lyrics

The Pen by Mic Righteous

• 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.

• 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.
