[00:03.78]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)
