LYRICS:
Intro:
I met a gypsy and she hipped me to some life game. (4x)
 
1st verse:
Since I was a small fry, knew I had big dreams. Chased em like a rookie after championship rings. Mama told me diamonds from the hardest of bed rock, and if I wanted to glow up had to polish my spirit clean. Cuz you ain’t made for all palates, taste comes acquired.  If they can’t copy and paste, they’ll control- alt-erase your profile. And the debased get that check as if good faith been retired. Keep us silent while we serve as inspiration for hire. Absurd. I come from tribal women, gold fronted and baby haired. A run in our tennises a mile or two may disturb. Fed the world with our innards gave em housing between these curves.  Now the public tenants think they entitled to the reserves. That’s a negative like I’m overdrafted. Access to my assets legislated and passed, this here craft got me teaching dudes class like the Praxis.  Cuz they been trying me and my Sojourners just for practice.  Whole globe spinning on my double X axis. Graphite tinted grandmothers in the ashes. I’m the Phoenix flinging winged prayers from my passages. Resurrecting fully blown dreams from the fractures. Roc!
 
Hook: 
I met a gypsy and she hipped me to some life game.
Yes Ma’am 
I met a gypsy and she hipped me to some life game.
Ok
I met a gypsy and she hipped me to some life game.
I did
I met a gypsy and she hipped me to some life game.
One day
(2x)
 
2nd verse:
Everything I am been diagrammed, blue printed, and planned. Yet everybody throwing their two cent in the can. Lotta treasure had to get off my chest so I’d expand. In heart, light as a feather. In art, a fire brand. No apologies necessary, qualifiers are banned. This is God level, judgment is out humanity’s hands. Got a fanbase admiring my touch from the promised land. I’m Tubman, clutching my freedom to bust like a talisman.  Eff your respectability efforts to police me. I’m from where the sharp tongued, neck rolling Chiefs be. Learned to run with wolves in case a shyst tried to fleece me. Got ice watered veins from broken life promises. See-
Met a gypsy with some door knockers and a quartz rock across her two wrists.  Said her temple turned into a fortress cuz the cost of worship too risky. Spit a universe out the mouthpiece and its seeds out my uterus. Never had a table seat so I’m chasing bread like it’s sacred- call it the Eucharist.  Every spoken word invoke women battered but never broken. This that sharecropping, hatchet toting, poetry in motion. This is TransAtlantic echoes out the floors of salted oceans. Make me a living portrait of my sisters’ voices for the culture.

Sa-Roc basically brings ish that "should" win Grammy's. Music industry is so wack...but big ups and much love to Sa-Roc and Rhymesayers. ONE

[Acin]

Sa-Roc is one of the TRUE Queens of hip hop.

[danielagbaniyaka]

Mama told me diamonds from the heart's the bedrock, and if I wanted to glow, had to polish my spirit clean cos you ain't made for all palletes, taste come acquired.If they can't copy and paste, they'll ctrl-alt erase your profile.... FIRE>>

[dhicks]

This is truly spectacular!.. please my people don't just look at her beauty and say oh she can spit.. focus your mind to what she's really doing.. yes roc is definitely one of the best lyricist male or female.. but open yourself to accept the knowledge our sister is rewarding us with. Thank you!

[kennethpeake]

I love it. BARS, intellect, spiritually and mentally can't ask for more. What a breath of fresh air...

[ryanmagiera]

She just elevated to a new level: "Craft got me teaching dudes class like the Praxis / Whole globe spinning on my double X axis " ** The praxis is the test Teachers have to pass in order to get their license. Double X talking about XX Chromosome. OMG SAROC BARS OUT OF THIS WORLD . Then, 2:00 she just straight broke the internet with flow switch: "The universe out my mouthpiece and its seed out my uterus / never had a table seat so i'm chasing bread like its sacred called the Eucharist " bars. "tilting poetry in motion / this is transatlantic echoes off the floors of salted oceans / make me a living portrait of my sisters voices for the culture."

This video needs a lot more views. Get her on BET and post her everywhere. I know a certain niche of Rhymesayers fans are like "NO! We need to keep good music as our secret" but everyone needs to hear this.
