Check it out... Gift of Gab... Fourth Dimensional Rocketships, Goin' Up |
| [00:09.16] |
|
| [00:10.23] |
To the ink on the paper from the top of the brain |
| [00:12.69] |
Ghetto youth zone rythms that are louder than pain |
| [00:15.28] |
From Suedo to Cali it's all the same, people in chains |
| [00:18.10] |
Where eight year old Children cock it back and take aim |
| [00:20.53] |
See, just the other day I was catchin' a cab |
| [00:22.96] |
The driver came from his country to America to grab |
| [00:25.57] |
A slice of the pie, he said my people haven't seen |
| [00:28.23] |
The extremeness of hard times, I said "what you mean?" |
| [00:30.95] |
He said it's people in his country that would love to live |
| [00:33.33] |
Inside these ghetto's, they live inside of shacks, and the kids |
| [00:36.10] |
Don't see any kinds of education, boys and girls |
| [00:38.29] |
Starve and die, and no money when your country is third world |
| [00:41.16] |
I said "I yearn for change all over the map |
| [00:43.49] |
From a system deeply rooted in hate, it sets traps |
| [00:46.28] |
Crack, liquor stores, guns, plus our culture was robbed |
| [00:48.84] |
And we was sought, self-hated, major belief that God |
| [00:51.46] |
Was outside, denied free thought, feelin' the pressure |
| [00:54.23] |
Of the hellish eternity visions of, the oppressor |
| [00:56.76] |
With the long white beard, lookin' down I keep, hopin' it |
| [00:59.50] |
'll change 'til then, please don't expect me to get over it" |
| [01:02.35] |
Before I bounced out, I said "Peace, love |
| [01:04.39] |
Ain't no reason why nobody need to suffer in pov- |
| [01:06.84] |
Erty, while others gettin' richer it's the same old song" |
| [01:09.56] |
Before I closed the door and bounced I told him "change gon' come" |
| [01:12.04] |
See I know they don't tell us that we really of Gods |
| [01:14.65] |
Dwellin' in infinity, through the power of now |
| [01:17.19] |
I spread the good Karma out, grab a pen a sheet |
| [01:19.77] |
And empty out my mind, so the ancestors can speak through me |
| [01:22.44] |
I tweak the beats, rock, eat the beats up |
| [01:25.00] |
Dwellin' in the Fourth Dimension of spirit I'm Goin' Up |
| [01:27.56] |
And it can't stop, don't stop, won't stop, ain't gon' stop |
| [01:30.67] |
Aim for the top, straight blowin' up |
| [01:33.33] |
|
| [01:34.09] |
It's like that (That's whassup) |
