We are singing, you this message |
|
Through our music, reaching for a, brave and brighter |
|
new tomorrow, is the future |
|
We must make it, safe and happy, for the children |
|
Or... or... they will be lost |
|
Or... or... they will be lost |

[Pos] |
|
Aiyyo I jump back, put the aim on my shot |
|
It's mandatory, handle glory over with the rock |
|
I'm not a rough guy but a tough guy to beat over drums |
|
No son to this, I'm a rhyme bastard |
|
Some mastered the art of cash, but not the part that lasts |
|
and disappear after doin two albums |
|
We're not your normal team and we still do ours to fit |
|
hope inside this, don't define it's |
|
quits for those who oppose the new |
|
Playin they've outgrown rap like a size 5 shoe |
|
Oh they all {?} now, alternative touch |
|
were surprised, no demise for us |
|
We on the rise to bust big, how you fig' we couldn't |
|
Never run out of verbs for you to sip, I told you we wouldn't |
|
I never popped Crist' or popped fists, girl named Chrissie |
|
was the first, which made it even worse not to miss me |
|

Or... or... they will be lost (the future) |

Or... or... they will be lost (the future) |

|
So do you understand it now? Well try standin over |
|
seven box sets, reppin sixteen years |
|
This rap career ain't work, it's the life in-between |
|
bedtime 'til the next said time and date |
|
Know the name and salute them dudes |
|
Put the nutrient in rap when they cook them foods |
|
Gotta be like eighteen million heads served |
|
Shit, imagine if there wasn't no us huh? |
|
So I'd like to take the time to shout out the JB's |
|
Next on my list is A Tribe Called Quest |
|
Latifah my Queen, Monie Love, Dres and Mr. Lawnge |
|
Chi-Ali, on your head God bless |
|
Never ring chasin, the permanent tat |
|
in this rap shit, y'all are just temporary lick-ons |
|
Fadin in the days to come |
|
While the name De La and the legacy built lives on |
|
[sampled vocals] |
|
We are singing (sing it out now) |
|
you this message (sendin you a message y'all) |
|
Through our music (through the music) |
|
reaching for a, brave and brighter new tomorrow |
|
(another day y'all) is the future (it's the future) |
|
(it's the future) We must make it (we gotta make it) |
|
safe and happy, for the children (for the children) |
|
You little brats |
