Quiet Dog (Bite Hard) Lyrics

One thing I want to assure them,
if they think I'm gonna change or compromise
my attitude and my way of life or
in my expression or in my goal
towards politics
they are making me stronger
and i am much much stronger now.

Check a blank to the boogie
and up chuck a boogie
to the rhythym of the boogie to be
to the rhythym of the boogie to be

there it go like simple the plainness
the prominent bassness
Zulu arrangement rockin' amazement
*flaco, radiating from heaven to pavement
if only years of placement with nothing to play with
spent time hating it but that ain't changing it
God give it to me no body is takin' it
therefore, moving on the base and stimulus?
standing in the twilight and watching them get it in
the walls are trembling, the air is simmering
she movin' like more than her ears are listenin'
woah now!
testin' your equilibrium
Sonic wave booming all over your intimate
skin on skin
and skin on skin again
put it all, get it all, get on, get it in
ladies and gentlemen, misters and mistresses
cousins other anto- and synonyms
there it is, boogieman

Hah!

chorus:
simmer down simmer down simmer down now
simmer down now
simmer down now
simmer down now
quiet dog, bite hard, my god!

So and the rocking don't stop
Brooklyn in the kitchen heat up the stovetop
Banging the empire state and navigating the way
Your preservation makes the greatest hip hop
The cool dudes swagger looking terribly corny
Their flow is so petty, unsteady, it’s boring
These dudes ain't dope, but they on it,
They need to get off it
So wack, wack is all you can call it
Therefore, moving on, and deaf to stimulus
Regardless what zone or what town you represent
A bullet to the audio settlement
Tower to tenement
I mold you from all of the elements
Now simmer down and manage your mayhem
I'm bright as the A.M.
And you're rock and roll out the station
And blessed with the fresh from day one
I got it today done
We all going back to the same one
This constant motivation I'll stay with
Remarkable flavors
That all bear the mark of the greatness

Whoa now!
The kid is from buck town
Your girl is in love now
You chumps gonna front and get shut down
Shut!

chorus:
simmer down simmer down simmer down now
simmer down now
simmer down now
simmer down now
quiet dog, bite hard let's rock

and you don't stop
see you rock to the rhythm we don't stop
so you maintain the rock and you don't stop
you keep up the rock and you don't stop
(the rock)
maintain the rock and you don't stop
(the rock)
you keep up the rock and you don't stop
(the rock)
maintain the rock and you don't stop
(the rock)

You keep up the rock, Quiet dog bite hard, my god!

Casa Bey Lyrics

Magnetic, the flows are athletic
Dimensions are perfected
But the static and kinetic is power
Past pressure, and mass beyond measure
You can place son where ever, he... "Don't stop"
Magnetic, the flows are athletic
Dimensions are perfected
But the static and kinetic is power
Past pressure, and mass beyond measure
You can place son where ever, he Bed-Stuy "Boogie Man"
Magnetic, the flows are athletic
Dimensions are perfected
But the static and kinetic is power
Past pressure, and mass beyond measure
You can place son where ever, he...
"Thank you and thank you very kindly"
Magnetic, the flows are athletic
Dimensions are perfected
But the static and kinetic is power
Past pressure, and mass beyond measure
You can place son where ever, he Bed-Stuy forever

The fresh, the author and associates are proud to present
M-Def the Black, fantastic raw
Dynamic, true Ecstatic, ghetto outstanding
Classic active every place, I have
The skill, power, passion, raise your red lantern
Stanzas and anthems based on expansion
A vantage point of the past, present and after
Rapture, master of ceremony, a master craft
Of the masterminds who craft masters
Master and viber from Brooklyn Island
Legendary asylum, Black Star shining
Bedford-Stuyvesant isn't Strivers
Flatbush blazing like it's smoke of the prophet
And it's constant, my mother an artwork
And God is the author, from Flaco to Archer
We right on target, a ready steady responsive
A black light white in the darkness, y'all just

History (feat. Talib Kweli) Lyrics

Kweli say, "Everybody act according to the season that they born in"
Some are the night, some are the morning, some at noon
Some in winter, some in June
It's all cool, it's the natural
The science is a jewel
For me and mines, yours and you
Let's move, tell you a little about mine, yo

I was born in a season where the world was quiet and cold
Celebrations were going on
Some were happy, some were sad
Some felt bad from being good
Some felt good from being bad, feelings passed and changed
But they never leave, they here to stay
Holiday, holiday, happy birthday
Teenage love, the first cut run deep
Soul on flesh, this is the Brooklyn streets
Year of the Ox, seven and three
M.D., the history (come on)
Every soul got one indeed (yes)
It's where you been to where you be
And without understanding you cannot proceed
Complete, the start and the end
Then it just go round again, again

Again and again, brand new
Again and again, so fresh
Again and again, newness

I was born in the decade of decadence where they worship what they have
When Ford was president, do the math
The war was ended when the North Vietnamese stormed the city of Saigon
We was like "Bye", we was gone, let bygones be bygones
I'm gone, spread love, it's the Brooklyn way
Where the hug you with the firearm side arm
Like new school clothes, Black Star official
Smash when we do a show, it's facts, no mystery
I'm down with the crew like Mussolini in Italy
I rock with The Roots like the Kemistry
Powerful, bigotry at work, me and my people got history
These rappers dumb it down considerably
We "Get it Poppin'" like a hit chorus
The flow is historic, they can't get rid of us
Ubiquitous, and we lay the law like Leviticus
Ten years ago we made history so they missing us

And don't call it come back in particular
Even if it blends into affirmer or
Fade into peripheral, Transmission of the minister's original
We're broadcast clear without diminishing
Black Star so top burn, and soul temperatures and ministers
Alkalines, aminos and minerals, and sentients
Served over Dilla time signatures
It's miracle material, remember it's right now foreverness

Revelations Lyrics

Revelations, don't stop keep on
Sunshine, 'Ecstatic', flaco boogieman
Standing in the sun, getting black as I want
You playing good, man, that ain't backing me up

Sky woke a baby, ain't no jackin' my hem
I got a whole lot to say so I ain't talking to them
I hear knees dropping, I turn it up louder
Black freedom, black genius, black power

Black ink for printing the black dollar
Until I see C I A, I say now what?
And C C is central bank
Loose change, body slamming big money tanks

We tell God thanks, ya'll tellin' us God don't rank
That's why your breath stank, yuck
Lay off the bacon and smokes
Quit laying off the good working folks, quit the hoax
And lay off the corny color jokes

Con chilly populate the colors they won't
Ya big dope, yuck
Keep them out your face, keep 'em in your prayers
Either that keep 'em in the cross hairs

Better still keep a even dose of each
'Cause until you get justice you won't get
Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace
The gun shot say, ba, ba, da, day, ba, da, da
Day, ba, da, da, da, da, da, day, ay

They shout peace, peace, peace
They shout peace, peace, peace
The firefight lit, ba, ba, da, day, ba, da, da
Day, ba, da, da, da, da, da, day, ay

chorus:
Rumors and rumors and rumors of war
Can I get better, now what is that for?
And more rumors and rumors and rumors of war
Killers just killing now, what they kill for
And more rumors and rumors and rumors of war
Can I get better, now what is that for?
And more rumors and rumors and rumors of war
Revelations,

don't stop, keep on

Workers Comp Lyrics

Ground rules

chorus:
I'll give you all the diamonds and money
But you can't break my heart
Cause that'll just get you fired
and everybody needs a job

Work is scarce, competition is fierce
Fonzi fronting in the new leather like they don't care
Word? Let's get you an award for that performance
Winner in the category for the best boring
Uh, tell the tough guys we tougher than tough times
and needles in the nerves to make the tighten up unwind

One time, for locking out the light in your eyes
You're searching for your perfect one
Broken down from getting it all
To take it however it comes
Plain day, you the specialest one, oh me oh my!

chorus:
I'll give you all the milk and the honey
but you can't break my heart
Cause that'll just get you fired
Sloppy worker get your pay grade bust

Work is scarce, skilled working is rare
Fonzi fronting at the job site, primping up they hair
Word? Well tell them only staff could drink they coffee
Walking papers at the office, sleep late tomorrow morning
Tell the tough guys we tougher than tough times
and nerves don't snap when the clock touch crunch time
That's right we tougher than tough times
From been narrowing, to the clock just unwind
For sure we tougher than tough times
My proof don't need to lie, my tighten up don't unwind

Broken down from never at all

Great day I know that you had to come, oh me oh my!

chorus:
I'll give you all the diamonds and money
But you can't break my heart
Cause that'll just get you fired
and you're doing such a beautiful job

Roses Lyrics

When I'm down, I just draw some roses
On a pretty piece of paper
With my recipe open
So halfway through, I feel so much better
I imagine happiness, and it runs right to me, such amazing beauty
You don't have to, cut up no roses
Please just leave them living
Got my pencil, got pretty paper
Please don't worry we're forgiven

chorus:
I have found, just the perfect feeling
Finally cause I'm grateful
I can feel your spirit, comin closer on me
It is grand, just to be reminded
Reminded of the good things
Living in a new day, that no one can tear down
You don't have to, cut up no roses
Please just leave them living
Got my pencil, got pretty paper
Please don't worry we're forgiven

Yellow for friendship, red for love
Black for the universal stars above
Pink buds that I bought her on Valentine
She said it was forever then she changed her mind
I said a little prayer then I cleared my eyes
Cause the ...
Started off with a oget, natural poget
I ain't Picasso but that ain't important
Faith, smart dude never graduated high school
Stay tuned I'm a show you how my art move
Shape and dimension flow and extension
Symmetry shade, blowin out the frame
Sign off my name Dante when I'm finished
Put it to your memory for permanent exhibit
Love, hard work and it's worth every minute
Abstract is still life real life kinetic

chorus:
Got my pencil, got pretty paper
Please don't worry we're forgiven
You don't have to, cut up no roses
Please just leave them living

When I'm down, I just draw some roses
On a pretty piece of paper
With my recipe open
So almost through, I feel so much better
I imagine happiness, and it ran right to me, such amazing beauty

Got my pencil, got pretty paper
Please don't worry we're forgiven
You don't have to, cut up no roses
Please just leave them living

Pretty Dancer Lyrics

Absolutely, Flaco!

Fresh and I'm fresh and my fresh just get fresher,
Diamonds in production glow greater than the pressure,
The none turn to some and the some turn to more,
The more turn to many and the many turn to all,
Shoutin' on my nothing like it's nothing at all,
To not knowin' what ya got til it got gone
Same song, new time signature,
New brand hustle with the long time arithmetic,
Bey, from the preacher man, number man, understand,
Curves and sliders, overs and under-hands,
Black Batman, knock em out the park,
Pitch, quiet fire sniper not the one you tryna box with,
Block work when the block turn jobless,
And triple beams aint the best means to weigh your options,
Smarts!, get smart with your smartness,
Too busy surviving to argue 'bout Darwin, Darling!

chorus:
See me, huh, a pretty dancer
Me, Sugar Ray and Ali pretty dancer
See me do it,
Ready, steady, step it out,

Big swing swing with bangers and thing thingers,
Soul glo zinging all over the ring finger,
Yo Yo! Don't play me so close,
Make me tell you something that you aint really ready to know,
Fight camp you was in top form,
Fight night, damn you ain't breakin' popcorn,
Aw man word bond?
Word is bond! Ultimatum,
Lights off, smelling salts resuscitate em,
I don't underrate em son, I don't nothing-rate em,
All i do is pop pop, frustrate em,
Exacerbate em, sharp shoot, lacerate em,
Steady hustle, shuffle shuffle, fascinate em,

Ecstatic nature black imagination activated
true and living elevated, you are rockin' with the greatest
Ecstatic nature black imagination activated
true and living elevated, you are rockin' with the greatest

chorus:
It's like a dove from up above
See me, huh, a pretty dancer
Me, Sugar Ray and Ali pretty dancer
See me do it,
Ready, steady, step it out,
Fly like a dove from up above
See me, huh, a pretty dancer
Me, Sugar Ray and Ali pretty dancer
See me do it,
Ready, steady, step it out,

Skip,
Move

Fly like a dove from up above

The greatest,
See me do it!

Ecstatic nature black imagination activated
true and living elevated, rockin' with the greatest
Ecstatic nature black imagination activated
true and living elevated, you are rockin' with the greatest

Pistola Lyrics

chorus:
Believe me when I tell you
I never meant to break your heart
May God pick up the pieces
Of dreams that fall apart
Forgive me and forget me
Make a brand new start
Don't blink your eyes and say goodbye
'Cause I know, you know that, I know, you know that love is danger

Criminal-minded, gangster of love
Charms in your arms, your gun is wild warm
Worn, bang bang, shoot 'em up
Tips in your clip, click-clack, use 'em up
Bad intentions and a very good shot
X marks the spot where you cross the heart
Candlelight vigil on my memory block
Commemorate the date where the bomb got dropped

Love, steady war no more
Put your weapon away, quit collecting the slain
She said "You're right, I don't wanna fight
I just like the fire and the flashing lights"

chorus:
Believe me when I tell you
I never meant to break your heart
May God pick up the pieces
Of dreams that fall apart
Forgive me and forget me
Make a brand new start
Don't blink your eyes and say goodbye
'Cause I know, you know that, I know, you know that love is danger

If you are to fall in love
Then where should you stand to begin with?
And when the falling's done
How bad should you plan to get injured?
And if you land on your feet
Do it count as a fall or a jump?
And do it feel like a fall
When the hands that pushed you were holding you up?

Close encounter, got you wide open
Heartache got your boombox going
Music and vocals, lonely and soulful
Your back in the scene where your sweet dreams are so true

chorus:
Believe me when I tell you
I never meant to break your heart
May God pick up the pieces
Of dreams that fall apart
Forgive me and forget me
Make a brand new start
Don't blink your eyes and say goodbye
'Cause I know, you know that, I know, you know what love is

Cowboys and girls, oh baby
I remember when we used to play
Cowboys and girls, oh baby
I remember when we used to play
Cowboys and girls, oh baby
I remember when we used to play

Cowboys and girls
Shoot 'em up, bang bang
Shatter, shatter
Cowboys and girls
Shoot 'em up, bang bang
We at the movies, and you're a star
Get down

No Hay Nada Mas Lyrics

Bueno, Flac,
Llámame Flac pero mi primer nombre es Jacin Andante
El apellido el pay

Oiga
Eso soy testigo
La hermosa, el peligro distinto claro que si la verdad
La calle, el pueblo
Las fincas y centros
Ciudad calidad no mejor, mala mas
Guerra y vida, amor y cambio
Comida la guarda
Pistola, oración para ellos,
Damas y caballeros
Familia, crianza
La luz en la distancia
Quiero y lo dijo
Bien es mas cercana
Mi vista, mi casa, mis sueños, mi alma
Quiero saber lo sentí tu abrazo
Y tu contacto
Pues a mi algo
Claro

Amen

chorus:
Claro, claro, claro que si
No hay nada mas
No hay nada mas
Final
No hay nada mas
Claro, claro, claro que si
No hay nada mas
Y no hay nada mas
Final
No hay nada mas

Claro, claro, claro que si.

English Translation:

Good one, thin
Call me thin, but my first name is Jaci Andante
The last name the one who pays

Listen
That I am witness
The beauty, the danger is different, of course it is the truth
The street, the town
The cottages and centers
City quality no better, worse
War and life, love and change
Food that is being kept
Pistol, this prayer is for them
Women and men
Family, upbringing
The light in the distance
I want and say
Good is closer
My sight, my house, my dreams, my soul
I want to know and feel your embrace
And your contact
Show me something

Amen

chorus:
Of course, of course, of course, yes
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
The end
There is nothing else
Of course, of course, of course, yes
There is nothing else
And there is nothing else
The end
There is nothing else

Of course, of course, of course, yes

The Embassy Lyrics

Boogey (Boogey) man (man)

"This is your captain speaking, with just a little flight information.
Coming up on the left we're going to be catching a glimpse of the Grand Canyon
on the right you can be able to see the Hoover Dam
in just a a few minutes. We're flying at an altitude of 37,000 feet
and our air speed is four hundred miles an hour...
Couple a little facts here, I'm packing a Colt King Cobra
that's a .357 caliber firearm with a black rubber-grip and a six inch barrel.
Also, the co-pilot is carrying a Kimber Custom defense pistol
with all the bells and whistles he'd expect from a custom
?canovac? carried with an analogue frame an example treatment on the entire gun
And our chief flight attendant, Roger, has a ? cap at twenty-two with the ?-fluid cylinder
all three are capable of piercing body
armor at a distance of up to twenty-seven feet and you can put a hole
in human bone and flesh the size of the Grand Canyon, which
by the way is coming up on the left hand side of the plane, so just
sit back, relax, and enjoy the rest of your flight..."

From the top, la, la, la, la...
La, la, la, la, lalalalala...
La, la, la, la... la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Mentioned that he worked for the embassy
People seem to find that interesting
High status, intrigue and mystery
Special code name on the hotel registry
I love it when they say,
"Enjoy your stay"
They say how they mean it
Cause that's the way they been trained
Show you to your room
A suite with a view
When, if anything at all
Do not hesitate to call
Nice! The greatest, the greatest
Compliments, tooth brush, tooth paste, razors
A Bible, a Qur'an in a drawer
or depending where you are
Tend to whisper through the walls
She was calling on God
The greatest, the greatest
Salutations, congratulations,
reservations, exclusive arrangements
Dinner with the patrons, the scenery is amazing
It's so outrageous, they whisper when they say it
When it's really real it's even realer than "The Matrix"
Classic, modern, ancient, flagrant
Get a special thrill every time they get to say it
Peace! I work with the embassy
On behalf of imagination industry
I come visit, you come visit
Such a pleasure, official business

La, la, la, la...
La, la, la, la, la-la-la-la...
(Boogey, boogey, man, man)
La, la, la, la...la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
The Embassy...greetings

Priority Lyrics

Hey, top priority

chorus:
Peace before everything
God before anything
Love before anything
Real before everything
Home before any place
Shoot before anything
Style and state radiate
Love power slay the hate

Truth killer, flakey face
Players say it to they face
Ain't afraid to major straight
Race at the table straight

Flow greatest like the greatest lakes
Capes all greatest states
Quiet water major waves

Steer the course make a way
And come ashore on a greater day
Home grown from the greatest grain
Full flavor in the native strain
Now put that on your brainy brain

Full exposure to favorite slang
Minimal wage and major gangs
Y'all seen them play the bait
Later night from day to day they came to play
We came to stay get out the way

Biotch sons buy heat rocks
Brooklyn finest, preservation to beat box
...detox
When we rock the people, priority

chorus:
Peace before anything
God before everything
Love before anything
Real before everything
Home before anyplace
Shoot before anything
Style and state radiate
Love power slay the hate, priority

Love power

Wahid Lyrics

chorus:
When all is said and done there's only one

Cash and carry legendary Sagitarri(us) style's vary
And it's very necessary get it clearly
Never scary barely worried bright and early
Bald head straight or curly mundane or other worldly
No chain nada jewelry the jackers can't snatch
The gingerbread the slave masters can't catch
Blat! Now put your minds on that
Get real or get back quit frontin face facts
The old timers say we're living in the final days
Gun smoke young folks living any kind of way
Gangster holiday great estates and hideaways
Meanwhile soldiers take it straight through their armor plates
Crash hit the market gates marvels of the modern age
Access is instant and treachery is commonplace
I sense the dangers and I'm not afraid

chorus:
Because when all is said and done there's only one

Man up playboy playing the game boy
Bow back spectacular aim boy
Say what you say boy whoever could make noise
In wide range all from the same voice
Conduct the arrangements with definite language
It's pure inspiration for each generation
Speak truth breath love

Because when all is said and done there's only one

And the one can done so cool
Schooling the young like Rev. Run ("whose house?")
Quote Pac tell them keep their heads up
And when the pressure comes down press back and press up
Fret not ghetto world guess what
God is on your side the devil is a lie
The Empire holds all the gold and the guns
But when all is said and done there's only

B.O.O.G.I.E.M.A.N

Auditorium (feat. Slick Rick) Lyrics

Mad liberator, Def operator, rock the data, amazing flava

Yo the way I feel, sometime its too hard to sit still
Things are so passionate, times are so real
Sometime it time to chill, mellow down blow a smoke
Smile on my face but its really no joke
You feel it in the street that the people breath without hope
They goin through the motion, they dimmin down they focus
The focus gets clear and the light turns sharp
The eyes go teary, the mind grow weary
I speak it so clearly sometimes ya'll don't hear me
I push it past the bass no nations got to feel me
I feel it in my bones
Black I'm so wide awake, that I'm hardly ever sleep
My flow forever deep and
These volumes are scriptures when I breathe without beat
My presence speak volumes before I say a word
I'm everywhere penthouse, pavement and curb
Cradle to the grave, talk of visions of a cell
Universal ghetto life, holla black you know it well
Quiet storm, vital form, pen push the right across,
the mind is a vital force, soul is the lions roar, voice is the siren
I swing round, ring out, and bring down the tyrant
Chop a small axe and knock a giant lop-sided
The world is so dangerous there's no need for frightin'
Suckas tryin to hide like the struggle wont find em
some bust through and clearly remind them
Its everywhere, penthouse, pavement, or curve
Cradle to the grave, talk of visions of a cell
Universal ghetto life, holla black you know it well

chorus:
What it is
You know they know what it is
we know ya'll know what it is
Ecstatic there it is
what it is
you know we know what it is
they know ya'll know what it is
you know here it is
what it is
you know we know what it is
they know ya'll know what it is
you know here it is
(Fantastic, original, and always on time and rockin your mind its like)

Sit and come relax riddle of the mac
Its the patch, I'm a soldier in the middle of Iraq
But say about noonish comin out the whip and
Lookin at me curios a young Iraqi kid
Carrying laundry, whats wrong G, hungry
(No, give me my oil get the fuck out my country)
And in Arabian barkin other stuff
Til his moms come grab him and they walk off in a rush
Distrust, feelin like I was pissed off
I was like, shortie, hope we can fix our differences soon, bye
Buyin apples I'm breakin on what
(Brooklyn take everything, why not just take the damn food, black bastard)
I don't understand it, on another planet
Fifteen month of this stuff, how I'm gonna manage
An increasing the sentiment; gentlemen
Gettin down on them middle eastern instruments
Realize trapped in this crowd
Walk over kicked one of my fabulous raps (la dee da dee)
Arab jaw drop, they well wish, they glad rap
Now the kid considered like an Elvis of Baghdad

What it is

What it is
You know they know what it is
we know ya'll know what it is
Ecstatic there it is
what it is
you know we know what it is
they know ya'll know what it is
you know here it is
what it is
you know we know what it is
they know ya'll know what it is
you know here it is

Twilite Speedball Lyrics

Have fun y'all
Have fun y'all

The city breathing all down your neck
Bad news and good dough special effects
And reality's teeth
Bright, black, sicker than deep
Who ain't shy of the pain?
Who ain't shy of the pleasure just the same?
Life is a game I heard the homie say
Well I came to win so I'm not here to play

Have fun (Get it, get it)

Don't stop
Ecstatic
Fantastic
Wild
People

chorus:
Bad news and good dope
Powder, potion, pills, smoke
Baby, how you trying to go?
Duro o dulce, fast or slow?
Yay, no?
It's OK you can have it your way love
It ain't all good but baby I'm cool
Feeling great, feeling good how are you?

10% condition, 90% response
Survival mathematics the number mad song
Old dads drop the jewels so pure
When the times get raw, there's something I recall
Sometimes I don't remember it at all
And it gets stormed by the weather with no umbrella
Sky release pressure and the ground get wetter
My outfit f'd up
Could'a looked fresher
But guess what?
The hell with parade day rain
Tsunami and sunshine a vomit is the same
Life is a game I heard the homie say
Well I came to win
Dante

Get it get it

Powder, potion, pills, smoke
Baby, how you trying to go?
Duro o dulce, fast or slow?
Yay, no?
It's OK you can have it your way love
Nasty times, but baby I'm cool
Feeling great, feeling good

Ey'day
Every day
Having a good time
Every day
Having a good time
Every day

Bey!

Having a good time every day

Supermagic Lyrics

"You're living at a time of extremism, a time of revolution
a time where there's got to be a change. People in power have misused it
and now there has to be a change and a better world has to be built
and the only way is going to be built is with extreme methods
and I for one will join with anyone, don't care what color you are
as long as you want change this miserable condition that exists on this earth."

Super magic black origin freshly out of dopeness
Definitely out of dopeness, sketch another opus
Knock off your set, Brooklyn we keep 'em open
The heavens expand the stars advance feel the boogieman

Mojo hand healing power like Bang
Snap, I rebuke these snitches
We know the truth, you can't confuse me bitches
Great name, greater than all your riches
Yah Dante Flaco Bey that's the business

Life In Marvelous Times Lyrics

Bright moments
Bright moments always come back Vivid.
The 5th great was epic citywide test pressure
The pre-crack era!
Mr. Schollmen, what a prick, attitude matches wardrobe, uglier then sin.

This is bed stuy '82..
9th floor 3 tiny rooms one view.
Buck-town, Roosevelt house
they green grass is green
our green grass is brown.
Shots rang my phone wasn't touchtone
a heavy beef in the street
ET had to flee

grey heavens! good grief!
hungry bellies!
bright gold on they teeth!

The windows on the Ave look like sad eyes
they fix their sharp gaze on you when you pass by
and if you dare to stand, you can see em cry
you can watch em scowl
feel them prowl
while and study every inch about you
fast math measuring what you amount to
The laughter, the screams!
the numeral, the song of Psalms
the book of dreams!

ends don't meet where the arms can't reach
mean streets
even when its free it ain't cheap.
on going saga, terminal diagnosis,
basic survival requires super heroics.

No space in the budget for a cape.
it's when you gotta fly by night to save the day

crash-landings routinely happen
some survive, others never rise from the ashes.

watching asphalt and observing the Sabbath.
creates an ecstatic and there you have it

from teenage love
praying in tongue
strange fruit, batty boots and native drums

from hence I come
so here we go
signs and wonders all along the road

some lies open
some lies close
some stretchers role with no lies at all.
some riders don't know what they riding for

hands on the wheel and their mind is gone
wherever you ride, whatever your lane,
this road called life is a beautiful thing

And we are alive in amazing times
delicate hearts, diabolical minds
revelations, hatred, love and war.
and more and more and more and more
and more of less than ever before
it's just too much more for your mind to absorb

It's scary like hell, but there's no doubt
we can't be alive in no time but... Now!

chorus:
It's just another shot to the heart,
It's just a sure shot in the dark,
It's just another place in the stars.
Wonders on every side, life in marvelous times,
Life in marvelous times.

Bang. Ride. Everywhere.
All over the world, you can feel it.
All over the world, feel the spirit rise, everywhere.

chorus:
It's just a sure shot to the heart,
it's just a sure shot in the dark,
It's just another place in the stars.
Wonders on every side, life in marvelous times,
Life in marvelous times
