The Beginning (Interlude)Ver letra

letra de The Beginning (Interlude)
I feel like history on the turntables
Old school to new school
Like nothing ever been realer
On the history of the turntables

I'm the mystery of what's inside the speaker cables
I'm Nina Simone in the park and Harlem in the dark
I'm the musical to the project fables
I'm the words scratched out on the record label

I'm the wind when the record spins
I'm the dramatic static before the song begins
I'm the erratic energy that gets in your skin
And if you don't let me in
I'm the shot in the air when the party ends
The GospelVer letra

letra de The Gospel
Uh, yeah, okay
Sing

So we all got children, products of the ghetto
Momma cooked us soup, daddy did the yelling
Uncle was a drunk, cousin was a felon
When he got pitched, he told them he wasn't tellin'
Auntie was a cook, her husband was a crook
Cause every job he had they be payin' him off the books
Ghetto university, knowledge is all it took
In a tenement I was listenin' to the hook
Change gon' come, the spirit of Sam Cook
When the feds comin', everybody get shook
Now we doin' life like Eddie Murphy and Martin
On the chain gang, i was singing into the coffin

The roaches and the rats, heroin and the cracks
Couldn't blame me, I'm just giving the facts
Tryna hit the top, the bottom ain't where it's at
Everybody got a past but you can never go back

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah)

Tellin' you like it is, how we ever gon' live?
If we ain't gettin' money, how we feedin' the kids?
It's a revolving door, where brothers be doin' bids
I know it sound wrong but the door will be what it is
Survival of the fittest, this poor girl the illest
Broke parents and black cats give me heebie-geebies
Life seems hard but nothin' ever comes easy
Whatever's in the dark, can always become the light
If you ain't in a battle, how you gon' win the fight?
Gotta speak the truth when I'm up in the booth
The streets be flyin' birds but they don't be on the roof
Poverty is a pain like you pullin' a tooth
Told the streets don't let me go like I'm Bishop in Juice

The roaches and the rats, heroin and the cracks
Couldn't blame me, I'm just giving the facts
Tryna hit the top, the bottom ain't where it's at
Everybody got a past but you can never go back

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah)
(Gotta sing)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah)

(She's a king)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah)
Let me hear you say, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Pawn It AllVer letra

letra de Pawn It All
Yeah, ah
Yeah, ah
Yeah, ah
Yeah, ah

I will pawn you my watch
I will pawn you my chain
I will pawn you these gold and diamond rings
'Cause I need it so bad
I would give you everything
Just so I could start my life over again

Sometimes you gotta let it go
Just to make it possible
Sometimes you gotta do it
Be willing to lose it
Freedom has no price, you know
Thinking how we gonna make it now
How we gonna feed the babies now
We gonna make it through it
God gonna see to it
Just get up and do it now

I will pawn you my watch
I will pawn you my chain
I will pawn you these gold and diamond rings
'Cause I need it so bad
I would give you everything
Just so I could start my life over again

Get on up (hey), get on up (hey)
Get on up (hey), get on up (hey), get on up (hey)

See, I learned the hard way
Now I'm doing it in my way
'Cause life is too short to fall in New York
Can't get up and get away
So I gotta let it all go
Start back from zero
'Cause I've give it up, I don't give a fuck
As long is my hero

I will pawn you my watch
I will pawn you my chain
I will pawn you these gold and diamond rings
'Cause I need it so bad
I would give you everything
Just so I could start my life over again

I will pawn you my watch
I will pawn you my chain
I will pawn you these gold and diamond rings
'Cause I need it so bad
I would give you everything
Just so I could start my life over again

Get on up (hey), get on up (hey)
Get on up (hey), get on up (hey), get on up (hey)

letra de Elaine Brown (Interlude)
Can I do one more really quick?
So he said blow black mother, black mother
He always announce the title black mother
This is rap, this is hip hop, this is all that, from the street

How you from the street?
Black mother and I must confess
That I still breath but you are not yet complete
What could justify my prying?
Stop forgive my coward's hard for blame me [?] while we sleeping a deep-deep
And I be days and days and fight especially for my hair, black mother
I [?] you [?] rapes, heart aches, sweat, and tears
But I wear on siege night, dark and gloom, a rose I wear to honor you
And when I follow rose in hand
You will be free and amen for slave of [?] can't balance out the two damn flies
I'd rather be without the shame
A bullet lodged within my brain, black mother
Kill Your MamaVer letra

[X]
letra de Kill Your Mama
Shame on us, on your sons and your daughters
Dig all your gold and we poisoned all your waters
Every piece of our soul is for sale
Now they bought us
Think we know it all
Then look where it got us

Oh, mama, mama
Oh, mama, mama
You're crying to the wind

Trying to play God
People fucking with genetics
All that you have given and we only disrespected
The rate that we’re going premature Armageddon
That's what gonna happen if we let it

Oh, mama, mama
Oh, mama, mama
You're crying to the wind

Is there any savin' us
We've become so dangerous
Is there any change in us
Even for the sake of love
How you gonna kill your mama
When only mama is gonna love you to the grave

Killing our selves
Falling down with the sickness
Money is the king
It's a dirty bloody business
There will be no trial
But the child will always witness
If we are in love with hell
Why the hell would heaven visit

Oh, mama, mama
Oh, mama, mama
You're crying to the wind

When mama gets the belt you gon' wish you didn't do it
Had your chance for redemption
But you fucking blew it
Now the weather is changing it and the hurricane is moving
Right in your direction
What direction are you choosing

Oh, mama, mama
Oh, mama, mama
Forgive us for your pain

Is there any savin' us
We've become so dangerous
Is there any change in us
Even for the sake of love
How you gonna kill your mama
When only mama is gonna love you to the grave

How you gonna kill your mama
How you gonna kill your mama

Elevate (Interlude)Ver letra

[X]
letra de Elevate (Interlude)
I already know how to touch you, I already know
Because you gotta always add on
You can't bring, can't just do what was done
You gotta always add on
We always build, we always grow
We elevate, by elevation
So, the way I touch this now, it's just gotta be like
Like the gods is like, yeah
Yeah, yeah
(Wow I think that's a really dope perspective)
She was risen when I was telling her stuff, oh I can go on too
Illusion of BlissVer letra

[X]
letra de Illusion of Bliss
You know, right now I miss someone that I love
Or fell in love with
I don't wanna cry or nothing but
I'mma just get straight to the story
I'm a 29 year old addict

What would you know?
What would you do?
If you had no control over what you pursue?
Talk yourself, tell yourself, baby
"I'm better than this"
All that I'm fighting
I'm the one to resist

So I persist
Like a bottomless kiss
An illusion of bliss
An illusion of bliss
So I persist
Like a bottomless kiss
An iIllusion of bliss
An iIllusion of bliss

Hey, living in prison of blood and flesh
An easy way out is this high, I confess
So watcha lookin' at
What do you wanna see
You can't save me, baby
I don't wanna it no way

So I persist
Like a bottomless kiss
An illusion of bliss
An illusion of bliss
So I persist
Like a bottomless kiss
An illusion of bliss

Is it my life?
Ain't no easy road
I don't know which way to go
Won't somebody see me when I can't see myself
Won't somebody listen before I need help
I'm sick of being judged
I'm sing of being sick
Sick of being high, sick of being low
Sick of all the lies putting on the show
So I persist

So I persist
Like a bottomless kiss
An illusion of bliss
An illusion of bliss

I don't wanna be a fallen angel
I don't wanna be a fallen angel
Don't say I'm gone, gone
I don't wanna be a fallen angel
Don't say I'm lost, lost

I don't wanna be a fallen angel
Don't say I'm gone, gone
I don't wanna be a fallen angel
Don't say I'm lost, lost
I don't wanna be a fallen angel

Work on ItVer letra

[X]
letra de Work on It
Work on it, work on it
Work on it, baby

Oh baby, some may think that we moved too fast
But I know you and you know me
Baby, that's what makes it last
Darling, so many lies were spread about us
Oh, that's the heartache, that's the heartache
That makes us build all the trust

I know some people like to say
That the easiest way is to fake it
We gonna make it if we try
Gotta promise not to abuse it
If you use it, don't lose it or break it
'Cause we gonna make it
You and I

When they see us coming they'll say
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
When they see us coming they'll say
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Some days are hard
There ain't no easy way
No matter how we try
Nobody is perfect
But if we just love each other through it all
that makes it worth it

I know some people try to say that
The easiest way is to fake it
We gonna make it if we try
Gotta promise not to abuse it
If you use it, don't lose it or break it
We gonna make it
You and I

When they hear us coming they'll say
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
When they hear us coming they'll say
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

When they feel us coming they'll say
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
When they feel us coming they'll say
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh, we gonna work on it, baby
Me and you, we gonna work on it, baby

letra de You Glow (Interlude)
I heard this lil girl in PS257 yelled out one day to the teacher
And said: That shit is whack
And she stood up in the classroom and walked up from the back
And stood in front of the classroom where her history was attacked and said

You are not niggers
As a matter of fact you are not really even black
I'll prove it to you
I'll put every last one of y'all in a row
Put some Vasoline and baby oil in your face and look in the mirror
Look my beloved, you glow
More Than We KnowVer letra

[X]
letra de More Than We Know
Uh come on, yes
(What y'all know about that?
shit's hard)

If I could breathe underwater
Every fish would walk on land
If I could fly in the sky baby
Then wings would be on me
If words could move mountains
If I could swim the ocean without drownin'
If there was pain without hurtin'
Then the impossible has been found

'Cause baby we can do more than we know, more than we know
And baby, baby, oh, there's more than we know, more than we know

Yeah, yeah, if I could moonwalk on the moon
I would glide to you baby
I'd go to war like a platoon
I'd be right there on the front lines
No broken promises in the Promise Land
Let's let freedom set us free again

'Cause baby we can do more than we know, more than we know
And baby, baby, oh, there's more than we know, more than we know

Uh, yeah, uh
See if we just stayed on the ground
Then we would never see the stars
And if you're too afraid to walk in faith
Then you will never know your heart
And if we just stayed on the corner
Then we would never see the world
'Cause baby there's no fate that you can't create

'Cause baby we can do more than we know, more than we know
And baby, baby, oh, there's more than we know, more than we know
Baby we can do more than we know, more than we know
(Yeah darlin')
'Cause baby, baby, oh, there's more than we know, more than we know

If we can believe baby
Do you believe it baby
Do you believe in me darlin'?
(More than we know)
Do you trust in me baby?
When I tell you we can do it
Let me show you we can do it

We can go
(More than we know)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
(More than we know)
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey, hey, hey, put 'em back up around
Hey, hey, hey
More than we know
'Cause baby we can do more than we know
Where Do We Begin NowVer letra

[X]
letra de Where Do We Begin Now
What they're gonna do 'cause we're the same sex?
And we’re spending all this time
This could be the love we ain't made yet
Even though it's on my mind
We ain't even had a conversation
But do you wanna testify?

How will I know this love is strong?
How would it tells when it goes wrong?

Where do we begin now?
Where do we begin now?
What will we tell our friends now?

I had a dream about you last night
Then it kinda blow my mind
All I really know is that it feels right
And I gotta live my life
We ain't even had a conversation
Let me be the first to testify

How will I know this love is strong?
How would it tells when it goes wrong?

Where do we begin now?
Where do we begin now?
What will we tell our friends now?

I'm gonna let you know, gonna let you know
I'm gonna let you know
I'm gonna let you know, gonna let you know
I'm gonna let you know
Holy WarVer letra

[X]
letra de Holy War
If war is holy and sex is obscene
Then we got it twisted in this lucid dream
Baptized in boundaries, schooled in sin
Divided by difference, sexuality and skin

So we can hate each other and fear each other
We can build these walls between each other
Baby, blow by blow and brick by brick
Keep yourself locked in, yourself locked in
We can hate each other and fear each other
We can build these walls between each other
Baby, blow by blow and brick by brick
Keep yourself locked in, yourself locked

Maybe we should love somebody
Maybe we could care a little more
Maybe we should love somebody
Instead of polishing the bombs of holy war

What if sex was holy and war was obscene
And it wasn't twisted, what a wonderful dream
Living for love, unafraid of the end
Forgiveness is the only real revenge

So we can heal each other and fill each other
We can break these walls between each other
Baby, blow by blow and brick by brick
Keep yourself open, yourself open
We can heal each other and fill each other
We can break these walls between each other
Baby, blow by blow and brick by brick
Keep yourself open, yourself open

Maybe we should love somebody
Maybe we could care a little more
Maybe we should love somebody
Instead of polishing the bombs of holy war

What if love is holy and hate is obscene
We should give life to this beautiful dream
Cause peace and love ain't so far
If we nurse our wounds before they scar
Nurse our wounds before they scar
