Alive lyrics
Through these eyes I see There's a place for me And life is full of questions That keep me alive Through these veins I feel A certain kind of thrill And I'm flying in all directions And that keeps me alive Would you sell the story Drown in all the glory That surrounds you Surrounds you! Won't you shelter me
Through these eyes I see There's a place for me And life is full of questions That keep me alive Through these veins I feel A certain kind of thrill And I'm flying in all directions And that keeps me alive Would you sell the story Drown in all the glory That surrounds you Surrounds you! Won't you shelter me
You say one for the trebble, two for the time Come on y'all let's rock this! You say one for the trebble, two for the time Come on! Speech is my hammer, bang the world into shape Now let it fall... (Hungh!!) My restlessness is my nemesis It's hard to really chill and sit still Committed to page, I write rhymes Sometimes won't finish for days Scrutinize my literature, from the large to the miniature I mathematically add-minister Subtract the wack Selector, wheel it back, I'm feeling that (Ha ha ha) From the core to the perimeter black, You know the motto Stay fluid even in staccato (Mos Def) Full blooded, full throttle Breathe deep inside the trunk hollow There's the hum, young man where you from Brooklyn numberLet It Go lyricsone Native son, speaking in the native tongue I got my eyes on tomorrow (there it is) While you still try to follow where it is I'm on the Ave where it lives and dies Violently, silently Shine so vibrantly that eyes squint to catch a glimpse Embrace the bass with my dark ink fingertips Used to speak the king's English But caught a rash on my lips So now my chat just like dis Long range from the base-line (switch) Move like an apparition Float to the ground with ammuntion (chi-chi-chi-POW) Move from the gate, voice cued on your tape Putting food on your plate Many crews can relate Who choosing your fate (yo) We went from picking cotton To chain gang line chopping To Be-Bopping To Hip-Hopping Blues people got the blue chip stock option Invisible
[verse:] I'm to the point where I can't take no more your immaturity It adds ton fustrating like those things you say Actin' like you aint feelin' me, Your boys come around then you start thrillin' me [chorus: 2x] Gonna let you know how i feel today Aint gonna take ya shit Aint gonna sit and play ya games No more nFly Away lyricsman, got the whole world watching (where ya at) I'm high, low, east, west, All over your map I'm getting big props, with this thing called hip hop Where you can either get paid or get shot When your product in stock The fair-weather friends flock When your chart position drop Then the phone calls.... Chill for a minute Let's see whoelse tops Snatch your shelf spot Don't gas yourself ock The industry just a better built cell block A long way from the shell tops And the bells that L rocked (rock, rock, rock, rock...) *scratching* Hip Hop is prosecution evidence The out of court settlement Ad space for liquor Sick without benefits (hungh!) Luxury tenements choking the skyline It's low life getting tree-top high Here there's a back water remedy B
Fly away - You can leave it all behind you I'm on my way to find you And I'll soon be flying too Fly away - We can fly away together I'm talking 'bout forever This is all we gotta do: Fly away ...Radio Control lyricsitter intent to memory A class E felony Facing the death penalty (hungh!) Stimulant and sedative, original repetitive Violently competitive, a school unacredited The break beats you get broken with on time and inappropriate Hip Hop went from selling crack to smoking it Medicine for loneliness Remind me of Thelonius and Dizzy Propers to B-Boys getting busy The war-time snap shot The working man's jack-pot A two dollar snack box Sold beneath the crack spot Olympic spnosor of the black glock Gold medalist in the back shot From the sovereign state of the have-nots Where farmers have trouble with cash crops (woooo) It's all city like phase two Hip Hop will simply amaze you Craze you, pay you Do whatever you say do But black, it can't save you
Do you wanna crawl like a maggot? Inch by inch Or move like a swallow? Up in the air on spread wings There's something about the way they're all moving To me it looks as if they're radio controlled There's a thief in the city stealing minds He'll break into your homes and make people go blind Examine the pi
