Love
(专辑: Black On Both Sides - 1999)
They say that goodness in life belongs to those who believe: So, I
believe. Yes I
start to think and then I
sink Into the
paper, like I
was ink When I'm writing, I'm trapped in between the
lines I
escape, when I
finish the
rhyme I
start to think and then I
sink Into the
paper, like I
was ink When I'm writing, I'm trapped in between the
lines I
escape, when I
finish My pop said he was in love when he made me Thought about it for a
second wasn't hard to see I
could hear he was sincere, wasn't game or promotion The
entire affair's probably charged with emotion When love call your heart I
guess you got to pursue 12-11-73, my life is testament Praise the
beneficent, element that breath Devoid in the
form that make love manifest I
spent my early years in Roosevelt Projects It was a
bright valley with some dark prospects In '83, Vendy C
was the
host with the
most I
listened to the
Rap Attack and held the
radio close I
listened to the
Rap Attack and held the
radio close This is far before the
days of high glamour and pose Aiyo, power from the
streetlight made the
place dark I
know a
few understand what I'm talking about It was love for the
thing that made me wanna stay out It was love for the
thing that made me stay in the
house Spending time, writing rhymes Trying to find words that describe the
vibe That's inside the
space When you close your eyes and screw your face Is this the
pain of too much tenderness? To make me nod my head in reverence? Should I
visit this place in remembrance? Or build landmarks here as evidence? Nighttime, spirit shook my temperament To write rhymes that portray this sentiment We live the
now for the
promise of the
infinite We live the
now for the
promise of the
infinite And we believe in the
promise (Love, love, love, love, love Love, love, love, love, love) Yes, yes, y'all, and we don't stop because I
start to think, and then I
sink Into the
paper, like I
was ink When I'm writing, I'm trapped in between the
lines I
escape, when I
finish the
rhyme I
got love, l-o-v-e and I
be Love, l-o-v-e to MC Get love, l-o-v-e and I
be Love, l-o-v-e, I
MC Get love, l-o-v-e and I
be Love, l-o-v-e to MC Get love, l-o-v-e and I
be (Love, love) The
M-O-S D-E-Finitely Check it out, y'all (Uh), feel me out, y'all (Say what) Feel me out, y'all (yeah), hear me out, y'all (Get down) Check me, out, y'all (Uh, get down, get down) Feel me out, y'all (Down, down), check it out, y'all Now hear out (Bounce), y'all Check me out, y'all (Uh), feel me out, y'all (All around the
world) Check me out, y'all, feel me out, y'all Feel me out, y'all (Hear me bounce, y'all, get down) Check me out, y'all, check it out, y'all My folks said they was in love when they made me I
take the
love they made me with to make rhymes and beats (Can you feel?) The
raw deal is all-wheel driven (right) Contemplate the
essence of beats, rhymes and living Speech align with the
rhythm (right), designed with the
rhythm Ears and eyes keep in good time with the
rhythm I
shine with the
rhythm, the
Black Star Galactica You're big number fating, we ancient like the
abacus After us, I
see most proceed to be trees Sprouting leaves, giving breeze to the
we who believe I
M.C., which means I
Must Cultivate the
Earth Straight back, straight facts, heartbeats and hard work I
be the
"Funky Drummer" to soften the
hard Earth (Amin) Pray Allah keep my soul and heart clean (Amin) Pray the
same thing again for all my team From Restoration to Fort Greene, and on out to Queens Uptown To Boogie-down, yo, just look around Shook up the
world like Ali in 6-3 (right) I'm reaching a
height that you said cannot be I'm bringing a
light which you said we can't see Saw the
new day coming, it look just like me Sun bursts through the
clouds, my photo ID I
bring light to your day and raise your degree The
universal magnetic, you must respect it From end to beginning; bright, true and living Ever-changing but sustaining magnificent Building the
now for the
promise of the
infinite Building the
now for the
