about
As the world spins.. Sometimes along the journey.. we can believe our own hype & get caught in the twirl.. Whether it be hip hop, entertainment, politics (really all the same thing, forrreal). Take away all of the distractions and blurred perceptions and u'd peep that it's as simple as that.. We ALL have things..
"Things" was supposed to be on my upcoming contribution to the Mello Music Group 7 inch Series, but it kinda overflowed.. So I ended up doing some artwork for it & decided to put up the short version.
lyrics
We all have things..
Things we love
Love may change
Everything does
World keeps spinning
Sun still shine
A give & take
Share your light
We all have things
U gotta give to receive, a thin line between whats real & what's make believe
How many teams'll rise to the tippy top of the league
Lose steam when the machine deems one MVP
The purpose is to separate em slow
Way to fade em, make him hate his own, let it take control
Niggaz thrones is made of foam
Beefin's the main reason on mics get ate up on
I lay the stone wit poems a foundation made of gold
Plus my tone is ohms
Why do they elect-tricks
So the campaign gains the ones who need don't get shit
But excuses galore
The polite gettin they dough right, they're juicing us all
Main protecter of the nectar of our ancestors
Fuck who's the freshest, on hearts I leave impressions
Your symbol is a less than,
when u don't go for what your destined
Niggaz say they odd, but they the same kind of different
Style about wilding out, when u speaking from the side of your mouth, a sign of doubt
Tired of outsiders guiding us
Mainstream myths, I'm hip wit no ties to this
Mindless, Who's the real Poseidon
Stirring up the current, making most folks violent
Im pro-viding a view that's mo widened
Madness when the math is applied with no science
I guess u can call me biased
Cuz I don't trust messages sent thru faulty wires
Tangible to the touch
Listen up, the ones lifting you up.. Don't give a fuck
Believe da hype if you want
Dat shock value only last for a coupla months becuz we
We all have things..
Things we love
Love may change
Everything does
World keeps spinning
Sun still shine
A give & take
Share your light
We all have things
