点击复制Shallow Days - Blackalicious
I just keep moving on
I just keep moving on (moving on )
Time and time a brother asks why
The rhyme is not laced with a gangsta touch
I said"Simply because I don't live that way
Still kickin' them rhymes rugged and rough"
"But that won't sell
Cause you gotta keep it real
So that we can feel
Where you're coming from
Because these streets is ill so if you ain't
Killing niggas in rhymes
Your whole sound's just bubble gum"
I said"I won't contribute to genocide;
I'd rather try to cultivate the INSIDE
And try to evolve the frustrated ghetto mind
The devil and his army never been a friend of mine"
"But niggas don't wanna hear that sh*t" said the brother
Who was obviously totally misled and yelled out
"murder murder kill murder" instilled in the influential THOUGHTS
Of our kids' heads
Shallow days you never gonna
Let a brother be a brother
Fully inner to the outer
Caught up in all them hollow nights
Can't escape cause everywhere I look
People frontin' and it just ain't right
Shallow days you never gonna
Let a brother be a brother
Fully inner to the outer
Caught up in all them hollow nights
Can't escape cause everywhere I look
People frontin' and it just ain't right
I said"Don't you know the powers that be
Are using people as pawns devouring we
Until they see us all gone and outta the scene"
And as I passed the chronic he said"look at where I be
I tried to get a job for real
But all the homies HIT LIQS and rob and steal
And keep fat pockets caught in a rut to catch ground
This way's in plus who could you trust"
I said"I'm all about protecting mine
But neglecting minds BE getting left behind
Why don't you change your environment"
He said"This is all I know
Plus my fam's all that I got I can't go"
I said"You gotta make it for the FAM"
"Damn" he said"I didn't make the ghetto
The ghetto made the man"
I said"You're more than just that"
Shook his hand said"Damn you gotta find a way
To break the devil's master plan yeah"
Shallow days you never gonna
Let a brother be a brother
Fully inner to the outer
Caught up in all them hollow nights
Can't escape cause everywhere that I look
People frontin' and it just ain't right
Shallow days you never gonna
Let a brother be a brother
Fully inner to the outer
Caught up in all them hollow nights
Can't escape cause everywhere that I look
People frontin' and it just ain't right
The word"peace" is just an expression
Used to say bye when it's time to jet
And them red black and green medallions
Was all just part of A trend I guess
Hardly ever them around brothers' necks no more
Instead of that gold gats
Inspiring gangstas and macks
Who at the young age of four
Be seeing more drama than war veterans
Instead of learning God's laws
And hip-hop is a voice that we enlist that
To express how we be feeling about this and that
But music does reflect life
And kids look up to what you portray
And mimic what you act like
It's time for a new day
An era in rap conscious styles
Makin' them aware of the happenings
But their ears seem more steered towards
Self-annihilation
So many might laugh
And write this off like I'm out here just
Blowing wind maybe label it soft or unreal
Something they can't feel while they keep yelling
"murder murder murder kill kill kill"
I just keep movin' on (moving on )
I just keep movin' on (moving on )
Shallow days / hollow nights
Shallow days / hollow nights
Shallow days / hollow nights
