[q-tip] | |
Back in the days when i was a teenager | |
Before i had status and before i had a pager | |
You could find the abstract listening to hip hop | |
My pops used to say, it reminded him of be-bop | |
I said, well daddy don't you know that things go in cycles | |
The way that bobby brown is just ampin like michael | |
Its all expected, things are for the lookin | |
If you got the money, quest is for the bookin | |
Come on everybody, let's get with the fly modes | |
Still got room on the truck, load the back boom | |
Listen to the rhyme, to get a mental picture | |
Of this black man, through black woman victim | |
Why do i say that, cuz i gotta speak the truth man | |
Doing what we feel for the music is the proof and | |
Planted on the ground, the act is so together | |
Bonafied strong, you need leverage to sever | |
The unit, yes, the unit, yes, the unit called the jazz is | |
Deliberatley cheered lp filled with streeet goods | |
You can find it on the rack in your record store (store) | |
If you get the record, then your thoughts are adored | |
And appreciated, cause we're ever so glad we made it | |
We work hard, so we gotta thank god | |
Dishin out the plastic, do the dance till you spastic | |
If you dis... it gets drastic | |
Listen to the rhymes, cuz its time to make gravy | |
If it moves your booty, then shake, shake it baby | |
All the way to africa a.k.a. the motherland (uh) | |
Stick out the left, then i'll ask for the other hand | |
That's the right hand, black man (man) | |
Only if you was noted as my man (man) | |
If i get the credit, then i'll think i deserve it | |
If you fake moves, don't fix your mouth to word it | |
Get in the zone of positivity, not negativity | |
Cuz we gotta strive for longevity | |
If you botch up, what's in that (ass) (what?) | |
A pair of nikes, size ten-and-a-half (come on, come on) | |
Chorus: | |
We gotta make moves | |
Never, ever, ever could we fake moves (come on, come on) (4x) | |
"time.. time is a ship on a merciless sea | |
Drifting toward an average of nothingness | |
Until it can be retarded for it's own destiny | |
Time is an inanimate object | |
Praying and praying and praying for ?? | |
Time is dancing, moving lingering all memories of past.." | |
-> the last poets | |
You gotta be a winner all the time | |
Can't fall prey to a hip hop crime | |
With the dope raps and dope tracks for you for blocks | |
From the fly girlies to the hardest of the rocks | |
Musically the quest, is on the rise | |
We on these excursions so you must realize | |
That continually, i pop my zulu | |
If you don't like it, get off the zulu tip | |
So what could you do in the times which exist | |
You can't fake moves on your brother or your sis | |
But if your sis is a (bitch), brother is a jerk | |
Leave 'em both alone and continue with your work | |
Whatever it may be in today's society | |
Everything is fair, at least that how it seems to me | |
You must be honest and true to the next | |
Don't be phony and expect one not to flex | |
Especially if you rhyme, you have to live by the pen | |
Your man is your man, then treat him like your friend | |
All it is, is the code of the streets | |
So listen to the knowledge bein dropped over beats | |
Beats that are hard, beats that are funky | |
It could get you hooked like a crackhead junkie | |
What you gotta do to is know that the tribe is in the sphere | |
The abstract poet, prominent like shakespeare | |
Chorus | |
Edgar allan poe, it don't stop (uh!) | |
"time is running out on black power africans today | |
And whites blacks and reporters at night | |
Everytime you see them ?? with their tongues hangin out | |
Time is running and past and passing and running | |
Running and past and passing and running (excursions)" |
