I grab the mic and I start to rap
under me eyes them rings of black
They want me to proceed in a normal manner,
but something inside says f**k it, how can I
get what I want or even need
see the old (?) rots quicker than being married to britney spears,
So I take my time, think for a minute
why do they always go for the gimmicks?
is it because no-one told them better
or is it because society brings pressure
we're still the brave ones who fight the system
we're still the ones that know the difference
put your light up, I said put your light up
light up the dark and get, right up
show the hypocrites that we have the guts
too many of them just simply forgot
What we need is, little love,
it doesn't take a scientist to figure this cos,
it's so,
obvious,
all things rushed cause this frighten and fuss
What we need is, little love,
it doesn't take a scientist to figure this cos,
it's so,
obvious,
too many of us just live without trust
formality, mentality, profanity - think you understand it man,
insanity, poor salary, reality - know where I'd rather be:
in the island, we smilin, freestylin', under the lemon tree
to compensate we must take your breath away, the whole trigonometry...
they pack my bag and I, hang around
tell them stories of how to get down,
Represent, being real,
they should get an Oscar for actin ill,
you better chill, dream bout meanin'
come out your box start fightin them demons
mind games, bygones from past,
you must head away and find the path
not many of us get to do what we want,
not many of us don't have to front -
but if you know your song
and you know it's strong
then let me see you get get up on
before they drop the bomb in-a
babylon
we must rise up and prevent the wrong
ain't no joke man I wish it was
but too many of them seem like they (re) brainwashed
What we need is, little love,
it doesn't take a scientist to figure this cos,
it's so,
obvious,
all things rushed cause this frighten and fuss
What we need is, little love,
it doesn't take a scientist to figure this cos,
it's so,
obvious,
too many of us just live without trust
formality, mentality, profanity - think you understand it man,
insanity, poor salary, reality - know where I'd rather be:
in the island, we smilin, freestylin', under the lemon tree
to compensate we must take your breath away, the whole trigonometry...
Rise up... |
